Hi all,

I have a rather peculiar problem.

Currently I have a post paid sub-line from Umobile with 120Gb. I need to restrict it to 2Gb.

long story short, need to control kids access.

are there SW that can do that? using iPhone.

thanks

I think it's better you control in terms of screen time rather than data usage.

Just my opinion.

Maxis app can do that. Main line can share/limit your data to subline. Since my mainline is unlimited (legacy plan they gave out when I sign my broadband with them) I also set my 2 subline having unlimited data.

How much data your kids consumed in a month?

maybe will ask Umobile if can set limit to shared line.

when I register new line for my kid,

the price of new line and family line are the same so I took new line since I get additional 120gb... now I see the folly

what fone make?

Settings > Network & internet > Internet > select your carrier > Data warning & limit > turn on "Set data limit" and set your desired data limit; this will allow you to set a warning when you approach your limit and can even automatically turn off mobile data once you reach it.

My kid is using the phone. So the warning will not do me any good. He will probably just ignore it and disable this data limit.
