MessageSENTRY Parental Control MessageSentry Parental Control allows a subscriber to easily control and limit usage of their children’s messaging by quantity, time, and day of week. Subscribers can set policies online to administer settings of their family’s account. For example, the parent could configure their child’s phone, preventing their child from sending or receiving SMS messages during school hours M-F 7am – 2pm and bedtime M-Su 10pm - 6am. Messages will then be deleted or deferred until an acceptable time. Additional controls include a Black List that provides the ability to block sending and receiving of messages based on specific phone numbers and a White List, which creates an exception list of phone numbers including parents, emergency contacts or other phone numbers as specified by the parent. Therefore, the child will have the ability to send/receive messages to and from these specific phone numbers regardless of any other restrictions. Message Limits will allow a parent to limit the quantity of messages a child sends and receives per day, week or month.
