MTS parental control is a service that is in definite demand. Do you want to protect your child from dangerous information? Make browsing the Internet safer? This option will help you cope with this task.

The Internet provides a huge amount of information. Naturally, there is content on the World Wide Web that is not intended for children. I really don't want a child to stumble upon it.

The Parental Control service will help protect him from harmful information. Now you can limit visiting a number of resources and receiving content that could be potentially dangerous.

Advantages of the service:

• It allows you to block access to dangerous sites.
• Prevents viewing information not intended for children.
• You don't have to supervise your child yourself. You can entrust cleaning the Internet to a special program for it.
• High reliability is ensured. A huge database of sites to which access is limited has been compiled.
• It is possible to bypass the blocking, but to do this you need to have certain knowledge.
• The cost of the option is not that high.

MTS parental control: how to use

What restrictions apply? Access to sites that:

1. Contains obscene language.
2. They promote extremist ideas, use of drugs and alcohol.
3. Access to gambling is limited.
4. Information for adults is blocked.
5. Other dangerous data deemed unsuitable for children to understand.

The system is capable of not only blocking portal addresses. It can recognize pornographic images and remove them. Additionally, safe search is activated.

Blocking occurs based on the collected database. It contains several tens of millions of addresses. The list grows over time and discovered sites are added to it.

Features of the service

It is possible to set a restriction on a phone, tablet or router with an MTS SIM card. But blocking can always be bypassed. The operator does not directly guarantee complete restriction of access to dangerous sites.

How is blocking bypassed? There are a number of ways:

• Connect to your home network from your phone. If it does not have the Parental Control function, then the child will be able to safely visit any sites.
• Install the VPN application.
• Change SIM card.

Teenagers usually use it to bypass VPN restrictions. A special application can be downloaded from the official store on the platform. After installation, a connection to a foreign server occurs.

Traffic is encrypted and goes abroad. The Russian provider cannot track which site the user is visiting. With this option, the Parental Control service ceases to operate, filters do not work if a VPN is available.

So the usefulness of the option depends on the child’s computer literacy level. If he wants to visit a specific site, he will find a way to bypass the restrictions.

How to enable parental controls on MTS

You can connect in a number of ways:

1. With the help of the team.
2. In your personal account.

The easiest way is to activate by command. The procedure will take a minimum of time; you do not need to have access to the Internet. You need to dial the code *111*786#. A report about the operation will be received.

You can use your personal account to activate. Necessary:

• Go to the operator's website.
• Log in to your account and go through authorization.
• Go to the services section.
• Find Parental Control among them.
• Perform activation.
• A notification will be sent to your phone.

How to disable the parental control service on MTS

To prevent a child from being able to deactivate himself, the service can only be deactivated in the following ways:

1. Contact a contact center specialist.
2. Come to the operator's salon.

Shutdown after Personal Area not available. You can use only one of the proposed methods to deactivate.

Location control

MTS has special parental control, where you can find out where the child is using an additional service. How it works:

• You activate the option.
• Connect parents and children.
• You can install an additional application on your phone.
• A special service allows you to find out your current location.
• It is proposed to control movements.

What data can you obtain?

1. Location information.
2. Notification when a child leaves the permitted areas.
3. Current balance parameters.
4. Information about the phone's charge level.
5. Smartphone statistics.
6. Installed applications.

You can obtain data in several ways:

• Request location via SMS.
• On the website there are options from a PC or smartphone.
• Use the “Where are the Children” application. You can download it from the official store.

The key advantage is that you can control your location and movements. On the website you can designate permitted zones. If the child leaves them, the parents will receive a message.

But such control can be bypassed. Possible methods are to remove the SIM card, turn off data transfer, and switch the smartphone to airplane mode. Therefore, you should not impose control on a child if he does not agree to it. The teenager will simply turn off the network and the system will not receive some of the data. I'll have to personally negotiate with him.

Parents always want to control their child, especially while he is small, and this is possible with the MTS Parental Control service. The mobile operator MTS takes care of its customers and their small children, therefore it offers a very useful service on favorable terms of connection and use. This function can be connected to a mobile phone, but it is connected much more often on computers.

Disabling the MTS Parental Control service

If you want to stop using the Parental Control service from MTS, you can do this in several ways.

All parents worry about the safety of their children. The MTS operator offers parents to ensure control over their children’s calls and SMS. In this article we will look at the features of the service, cost and connection.

The call and text message monitoring package includes two services - "Blacklist (parent)" and "Blacklist (child)". They allow a parent to restrict the receipt of calls and messages on the smartphone of a minor family member. If the latter himself wants to call the user who is subject to the restriction, the system will not allow him to do this.

To establish control over a minor’s communication, an adult must activate the service on his or her child’s phone. After this, a connection between the phones is established. Then users are identified with whom communication is limited.

After activation, the subscriber will not receive calls and text notifications from people marked as unwanted. The user will also not be able to reply to them or make calls.

The cost of the service is 1.5 rubles per day.

Establishing the link

To connect two numbers - an adult and his child, a special connection is installed between them - a link. It can be basic or advanced.

Basic version

Establishing a link on basic level allows the parent to prevent unwanted challenges for the baby. Numbers can be registered on different individuals .

Adding blocking rules

To limit communication, an adult must set the appropriate settings through their personal account. When activating the link, this is done from the parent’s phone. If the offer was activated, but the connection was not connected, the teenager’s Personal Account is used.

If you need to save messages from certain subscribers, their blocking can be disabled manually.

After the Black List service is terminated, AntiSpam is automatically disabled.

Cost and payment features

There is no connection fee. The service is paid daily - the fee is charged in the amount of 1.5 rubles.

1. Due to the tariff regulations that came into force in 2015, after registration of the bundle, the fee is charged to the adult.

Connecting and disconnecting

There are three options for activating control on the child’s phone.

1. Sending an SMS to number 111. The body of the message should include 442*5.
2. Activation through an individual client account on the company website.

To limit the receipt of text messages, parents can also activate the package. All you need to do is write an SMS with the text “On” or “Per” to 232. To terminate the action, use the code word “Stop” or “OFF”, which is sent to the numbers indicated above.

Refusal of control over calls and messages is carried out on the phones of both subscribers. To terminate the service, an adult must write a statement of the established form in one of the MTS cellular salons.

Termination of the Children's package means automatic termination of call monitoring. To cancel on your phone, an adult comes to a convenient MTS salon and fills out the appropriate paperwork.

Finally

The “Black List” service allows parents to limit their teenager’s communication with unwanted callers. The adult excludes certain numbers. The child will not be able to make calls or send messages to them, and will not receive incoming calls or SMS.

In addition to services related directly to cellular communications, the MTS operator does enough for its customers a large number of other proposals related to the company’s core business only indirectly. From the list of similar offers, we should highlight the parental control service on MTS “Child under supervision”, which has become an excellent tool for any parent who wants to be aware of where their child is at any time. And in this article we will try to understand all the nuances of using the option.

This offer from one of the largest telecom operators in Russia will allow subscribers to no longer worry about where their child is and not to call him every 5 minutes. From now on, parental control can be carried out using the Internet or the appropriate commands provided by MTS.

The service allows you to connect it to your child’s phone, and then at any time from your smartphone, or by using a website on computers or laptops, track all his movements around the city.

However, this is not all the capabilities of the option, since its functionality is quite wide. If you use a smartphone as your primary communication device, the “Child under supervision” option will give you the following options:

• Access to up-to-date information about the actual account balance of your own child;
• Access to geo-position data provided according to the signal from the operator’s substations;
• Receiving data on all subscriber movements;
• Providing more accurate location data related to information read from GPS/GLONNAS satellites;
• Informing about the charge status of the battery installed in the child’s phone.

It is worth noting that if a parent uses a regular mobile phone, only the first three functions of the parental control option on the MTS phone will be available to him.

Cost of using parental controls

As for the direct financial issues related to the connection and further use of the “Child under control” option. The cost of using this service is 100 rubles per month. As part of this offer, customers have the opportunity to systematically track the position of up to 3 subscribers in unlimited mode. If the option is used for more than 4 subscribers, each subsequent number will be charged 5 rubles when checking the location.

It is also worth emphasizing that in the first 14 days from the moment the service is activated, subscribers are not charged a subscription fee, since MTS offers its customers a test period to understand the rationality of using the option.

How to enable parental controls on MTS

Activating the “Child under supervision” option is quite simple, but given that activation occurs not for one number, but for a whole bunch, for a family, it cannot be performed in one action. In general, the connection procedure is carried out according to the following scheme:

1. First of all, the service is activated for the parents’ phone, and for this you need to send a text message to the number 7788 . The message must include the text “Mom” or “Dad”. So, for example, a message may contain the text “MOM VALERY” or “DAD STEPAN”.
2. Receive a message in response, which will contain your family’s identifier in the form of a code. Be sure to save this message, since the code is a necessary tool for further configuration of the service.
3. If necessary, add a second parent to the service by sending to the number 7788 his name and family identification code. For example, a message might look like this: “PAPA STEPAN a89u3.”
4. Set up the service for your child's phone. To do this, you need to send a message from your (parental) phone in the format CHILD “NAME” “PHONE” to an already familiar number 7788 . For example, a message might look like this: “CHILD SASHA 791617654321” (without quotes).
5. The child's phone must consent to location tracking. To do this, you need to receive an SMS message with a request and give an affirmative answer to it.

How to use the parental control service

Having successfully connected the service, as well as completed the procedure for setting it up, you can proceed to its direct use. And data on the child’s location can be obtained in several ways. We look at them below:

• Using SMS codes. By sending commands to the number 7788 , you can get information about the location of the child or parents. The commands are sent in the format “WHERE IS MOM/DAD/CHILD’S NAME”. For example, a message may contain the text “WHERE IS SASHA” or “WHERE IS MOM.” In the response message, subscribers receive data about the subscriber’s location;
• Through the website services. Using the website mpoisk.ru, where authorization takes place using a subscriber number, you can monitor the location of your child and other members of your family in a convenient interface on an interactive map.
• Through optimized applications. By installing the appropriate application on your mobile device, you can track the location of your loved ones in an even more convenient form than on the service’s website. Today, the “Where are the Children” application from MTS is available for download for iOS and Android devices. It should be noted that the applications work correctly on Android devices with version operating system from 2.3, and on iOS devices with OS version 6.0 and higher.

How to disable parental controls on MTS

If the “Child under supervision” service loses its relevance for you, you can always turn it off. In addition, subscribers are offered the opportunity to temporarily suspend the option, thereby stopping the debiting of the subscription fee. This “freezing” is carried out by sending a message to the number 7788 , which indicates the text “STOP”.

Direct deactivation of the service is also carried out using an SMS request to number 7788, but you must indicate “DELETE” in the text of the message.

Modern children easily understand access to a smartphone, as well as all the possibilities of the tariff offer. But there is a huge amount of material on the Internet for which a mark is provided "18+". Thankfully, the company MTS offers enough options to create a barrier against such resources. Gadgets, thanks to the settings of the cellular operator, can be configured individually in this case. But the best option is an option "Internet Control" .

Access to sites

Many parents worry about their children and believe that they are capable of opening prohibited Internet pages even against their own will. After all, it is not uncommon for numerous advertisements to appear on the screen even while watching programs, cartoons and receiving other information. Then you will have to use one option - filter the received content. If we take into account the Internet Control service, it has five security levels. The specific age of the children who use the mobile devices.

The very first age category is up to 7 years. Here you only have access to specific websites on children's topics, and you can also enable a completely safe search for any information. Everything can reach the level that is called "adult". Here the list of available sites is very expanded. However, access to category resources is still blocked "Dangerous". There is also a “personal” mode in which the user can independently decide whether to block a particular resource. Actions may be of the following nature:

• Restricting access to specific sites and links.
• Safe search in Google or Yandex.
• View authorized YouTube user channels.

In addition, you can make sure that certain resources are available exclusively to you. For this purpose, there is a special “white” list where they are entered. Just open it and everything will be available for viewing.

Setting a schedule

Children come up with various tricks to stay online longer. The most common option is “five more minutes.” If at a young age this is still acceptable and you can follow the child’s lead, then during school time this is unacceptable. There, school breaks can be used to access the Internet. But sometimes a visit to a certain resource can be delayed. You have to take time away from the program, lessons, and studying important material. In this case, there is a solution that the company offers MTS– independently set up a schedule with access to Internet resources.

The option used specifies not only the specific day of the week when access is limited or completely prohibited, but also a specific time frame. So, for example, you can make it so that during school days the Internet will not work at all. Or you can choose a specific time when this will be feasible. That is, parents themselves can make restrictions for their child (weekend evenings or after school). For this purpose, appropriate filtering is provided, available on the official website of the cellular operator MTS. All that remains is to go to your personal account and work fully with the parental control settings.

Starting a magazine

Service "Internet control" very useful for parents who want to receive information about what resources their child is visiting. They are provided with complete statistics with details, which are sent to email subscriber MTS. It will be enough to indicate it in the appropriate service field on the provider’s official resource. This statistics contains the following information:

• What time were the sites visited?
• Specific resources visited by the child.
• Number and frequency of visits.

For such an action, an extended link is provided, which can be configured between the number of the parent and his child. Setting up the log is required and looks like this:

1. Type the sequence on the device keyboard *111*1117*1# . This USSD command must be accompanied by pressing the call button. After this, a message will be sent to your phone with a text stating that the option “Internet control. Parent" activated, and can be used in the necessary directions.
2. Next, you go to your personal account located on the official website of the cellular operator MTS. It is necessary in order for a request to connect the service to the child’s number to be sent. After entering the authorization data, the appropriate and necessary section is selected "Service Management". Next, go to the “Internet” item and click the “Internet Control” link.
3. A window will appear on the screen in which you will need to enter the child's number. You can't miss it because it pops up in the central part. When the number is registered to the parent, you need to select the “Extended communication” item. Here the necessary settings are already made, related not only to access to certain resources, but also to receive complete statistics by email. It would be a good idea to establish control over files that are downloaded by a teenager to the device they are using.
4. An SMS message will be sent to the child’s mobile phone containing a request to express consent to the combination of numbers. To do this, an SMS with the text is sent in response "Yes". When all these manipulations are completed, you can begin to establish the necessary rules and completely control the child in accessing Internet resources.
