Can you access search history on 4G EE WIfi mini?

Apparently you cannot on wifi but with 4G Wifi Mini it's a sim card which can have parental locks. In any case is it possible to see what others have been searching on the same network or do they simply allow to see what devices are connected and that's all?

@shyaamkathi  You can only see what devices are connected you cannot see what websites they’ve been too. 

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

Alright then. But also do you know if strict parental controls were chosen in settings or whatever and you go on a blocked site on a computer...will the owner of the WiFi get informed that a blocked site was attempted to be reached e.g. 18+ content ig or it simply is blocked but noone else knows anything. 

@shyaamkathi  you won’t get any information that someone’s tried to access an 18 rated site, The site will simply just not load.

A sim Card does not have any Parental Access or Locks, its the Account that is associated with that Sim Card that controls access. 

 

All a Sim Card does is Authenticate a Radio Connection to the Cellular Network for Calls, Messaging, Data and Internet Access, or put simply just think of the Sim Card as a Key to open the Box, whats inside the Box will depend on the Account Settings.

 

In the Case of a 4G Wifi Device that is sharing Internet Access via the 4G WiFi Devices Sim, any Parental Access Controls will need to be set on the 4G WiFi Devices Sim Account to control access to other Devices connected to it. So worth pointing out that, for example, a Childs Phone with its own Sim (and Sim Account) could have Parental Restrictions Set in place, but the moment that said Phone connects to the 4G WiFi Device then any Parental Restrictions are determined by the 4G WiFi Devices Sim Account and not the Phones Sim Account.
