Bell Parental Control offers them content filtering capability on mobile phones for the first time in Canada. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The feature costs $5 per month.<\/p>\n<p>It would be interesting to see if Bell or other service providers would support parents downloading 3rd party software to perform a similar function on the handsets.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder about adding other parental controls to limit kids calling to a set list of numbers, perhaps even setting up limited call lists during peak hours. What about parental controls on the number of times users can incur premium text message charges &#8211; protecting against surprise charges for TV voting shows? Or bundling location tracking capabilities?<\/p>\n<p>Deliver a complete phone-use management tool and you might have something that more parents will be happier to buy.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:78%;\">Technorati Tags:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Bell\" rel=\"tag\">Bell<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/net+nanny\" rel=\"tag\">net nanny<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, Bell Mobility and Solo announced a feature that allows parents to block access to certain websites from their kids mobile devices.
