Hi @Mamasandy  parental controls only work on mobile data. If you are using WiFi then you need to adjust the control on the WiFi settings.

Re: Parental controls not working

Sorry to say but I have gambling restrictions on my WiFi also. The WiFi is the only one that actually works. Since being on the gamblers blocked list offers from gambling sites are constantly being sent to all our phones via texts and emails and through the post which has never happened before. Is there another way of blocking using the phone number
