Closed Caption:

hi today wanna demonstrate
how you can keep your kids safe um
after you give them a cell phone okay
now this goes for anyone not just
children but in my case I'm trying to
keep my
seven-year-old daughter from being able
to receive strange calls
or make calls that I don't want her to
make
right so all I wanted to do is
to be able to receive a phone call from
either me or her mother however I decide
and it I only wanna give you the ability
to call either me or her mother
now I cedars many E
expensive programs are telephones being
sold on the internet now
that make that feature possible however
I'm gonna show you today how you can do
it with the regular Walmart
mobile phone actually the most
affordable plan on the market now
which till now I'm pretty impressed with
okay this phone
as nineteen dollars what's special about
the Walmart plan is that it has a
parental control feature on their
website
that allows you to make it these
modifications
okay so first you have to go
to family or
sorry my family mobile dot com login
with your telephone number
and password of course I this is one
surety have
a Walmart phone so once you login
you're gonna see a page like this that
has
the to the lines you currently have on
this account
and an option to set limits for those
lines
so here minutes the concept limits
okay
so here we have our three separate cell
phones
and the limits I wanna Sep okay for
options for limits
so first we're gonna go to a loud
numbers so here
you have always allowed never allowed
okay so
you gonna place here the numbers that
you want tomb
give her phone access to in other words
and numbers
that you don't mind calling her
in my case my wife's number or my number
right it and here's the never allowed
list
however what people fail to understand
is that
this police in the outset does not block
these numbers is blocks these numbers
are allows these numbers
within the person or in this case
child's restrictions or limits
on the line have been reached ok um
Walmart give you a feature
on their website that allows you let's
say two
a lot your child 50 minutes per month
let's say
and once be reached his 50 minutes
these numbers are still allowed it to be
reached
or or in this case
over here I
or not a lot right however I'm gonna
show you
another step that this does not really
cover or that i've seen
that no other website really explains
how to do but I just called
the Walmart tech support a
for their mobile phone department and
they explained it to me very clearly
I'm very very impressed okay so you put
in the numbers here
I'm going to just put in one year
stroking
and there's a number start removing the
camera so much here
okay
so once you do that you have to scroll
down
and save it here
rices save once it's saved
you have to go back to
your minutes option
and what you're gonna do is restrict
all that person's minutes 20
making
the numbers let you entered I did to
allow or disallow
to become activated
in other words if you it put
a you when you watch telephone number on
the allowed list and
she has a hundred minutes left in her
account she still gonna be able to call
them
are I'm sorry she's going to be like all
other numbers
even though you only limited to you and
your wife hybrid
reliever and 0 minutes eighty you in
your wife's number
are going to be available to be dialed
on her phone number
%um she'd out any other numbers is going
to get an error
because he has 0 minutes allotted to her
it's a little complicated to understand
I am from the outset
the allow or disallow feature is just
really for emergencies
in case someone runs out of their
allotted time and then
the cutest China reach the parent can't
because the parents set a limit on her
phone
so it gives you the option to call
the parent even though her minutes are
up okay so what this does now is that
you are removing her minutes and only
allowing her to call the parents
okay I hope this helps
don't forget any time you make a change
to the side you have to click on save
ok and thank you have a nice day
