EE which says it is the UK’s first major network provider to unveil a range of under-18s smartphone plans, in-store appointments offering online safety support, and new digital resources to guide parents ahead of the next school year.
However, EE has stated that the controlled monitoring can only regulate what is accessed by using the EE mobile network data, inferring that it cannot filter content accessed via wi-fi, which operates separately.
