Block / Suspend Line

I would like to block my 15yr sons iphone or suspend the line temporarily as punishment for being disruptive and using his phone at school.

I want to turn the phone off so it has no functions for perhaps 48hrs then be able to turn it back on. He will then hopefully understand that I could turn it off for much longer if he wants to continue being disruptive at school. I believe this would help many parents as children today cannot seem to live without their phones 🙂

Hi @sboothman007 

I completely understand. 

If you would like to see what options are available for blocking the phone please give us a call and the team will go through the options available. 

Hope this works for you and you see some changes 🙂

Leanne.

Excellent Thank you for the swift reply

out of interest when you freeze a child’s phone how long does it take for it to activate ? thanks

Hello @lyndsey0407

Any changes can take up to 24 hours to take effect.

Shouldn’t this be an option in the EE app? 

im also wanting to do this. 

but having to call up and cancel it and then call again to reactivate is more hassle and inconvenience than it needs to be.
