Beeline parental control is a convenient feature that allows you to enhance child supervision. In the modern world, parents spend little time at home and sometimes cannot always cover all aspects of their child’s life. To help protect your child, services have been invented that allow you to be extra vigilant.
What is it and why is it needed
Contrary to the general understanding of the concept of parental control, this service from Beeline does not apply to blocking access for a child to any Internet resources and prohibited sites, but to limiting powers when activating additional services and mobile communications services. That is, by activating this option, your child is unlikely to accidentally or intentionally activate any additional paid services, as well as content subscriptions, for example, which are also not free to use. After connecting the option, the child will not be able to order any pictures, games, or information services without the knowledge of the parents.
The operating principle of the service is extremely simple:
- A child accidentally or specifically activates a service, orders a service, or activates an option.
- A parent connected to receives a text message on their phone, the content of which displays data about the cost and purpose of the service connected by the child
- The parent decides whether to provide their child with the opportunity to activate this option, or whether the activation procedure should be rejected. The decision is confirmed (also via SMS).
- The service is activated or remains deactivated on the child’s phone, taking into account the parent’s earlier decision.
How to disable
To disconnect, send the command *934*0#. After sending, a response in the form of SMS is expected. The body of the letter indicates that the application has been accepted and processed. To deactivate the service, you can use the short number 0611 or visit the web account on the Beeline website. The operator is provided with passport data, a controlled phone number and a request to disable the option.
If it is necessary to change access settings, the user does not disable the service, but enters new data in the application.
Conditions
There is no point in discussing the benefits of this option once again, because it is obvious. But the rationality of its connection is for the end consumers to judge. And they judge how a tradition has developed directly by the financial conditions of its connection. And they look like this:
- Option connection procedure;
- Cost of use: 1 ruble per day.
Accordingly, for only 30/31 rubles per month, parents get the opportunity to scrupulously monitor all actions related to connecting additional services. services from the operator, performed by their child, which is very inexpensive.
Description of the capabilities of the “Parental Control” option
The offered service contains 3 main areas:
- “ Time limit ” – provides the ability to control the time spent on the network, you can even create a schedule for the week;
- “ Age restriction ” – will block access to sites with questionable content or related to certain categories (for example, gaming-related, online purchases and downloads);
- “ Visit report ” – used to make it easier to control visits to pages on the network (statistics are available for up to 1 month).
The global network, along with an unlimited number of possibilities, may contain some unwanted and even downright dangerous content for a fragile child’s psyche.
In order to control and protect children from the content of pages that carry a negative load, it is possible to connect a special inexpensive service. It allows, among other things, the use of paid content by minors, but this will be possible only after confirmation by adults.
Where is the child - parental control from Beeline
Often, Beeline subscribers who want to activate the option to determine the location of a child are interested in the option we are considering today. As you probably already understand, interest directly in “Parental Control” in this case is erroneous.
However, it is possible to track the position of a child on Beeline, but for this you need to connect another option, called “Locator”. We have already considered it, and its connection can be done by calling the number 0783 .
We immediately warn you that the option is more expensive than simple “Parental Control”, and for it you need to “lay out” 7 rubles daily.
Conditions for providing the option
The user can control up to 20 numbers. When one of the children wants to visit a prohibited portal or purchase a toy, the subscriber will receive a notification on the phone. You can approve or deny the action. It is proposed to immediately add the main unwanted services to the database by placing a block on them. Parental Control works throughout Russia. Outside the country, the service is temporarily suspended. The main thing is to pay for the service on time.
