[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 490061, member: 1169"] He may very well "know" but also be (1) unable to control the impulse and (2) be unable to generalize what he knows. Eeyore has the same literal mind and he would not get that 1-900 and 1-866 are the same and he wouldn't necessarily comprehend the message about the charges per minute (if he was hyper-focused, nothing else would get through). Terry -- I love Verizon. Eeyore's phone is restricted to just a couple hours/day that he can send/receive calls and texts. There is an "approved" list of numbers that work 24/7 (mine, DHs, etc). He is also limited to a certain amount of minutes per month and then he cannot make or receive any voice calls from anyone not in our 'free' circle. He has unlimited text. He is getting a smart phone for Christmas and he will have a limit on his data usage as well. When he hits his limit, the data part of the phone simply stops working until the next billing cycle. What I think is so important on the parental controls, is Verizon allows you to[B]block all [/B]incoming and outgoing picture and video messages -- completely blocks the possibility that someone will send them an illegal photo or that they will send/forward one. Parental controls are just $4.95/month and it is only $10/month to add his line to your family plan. [/QUOTE]
