Is it possible to to centrally disable the Hotspot on an Verizon iPhone 5S?

Does anybody know if it's possible to disable the HotSpot capability? I don't want my users (kids) to be able to turn on the Hotspot from the settings screen.

If so, how would I go about it?

I think I remember that this used to be something Verizon controlled centrally -- as you had to pay extra for the Hotspot capability. I would have hoped FamilyBase had the capability, but it doesn't. It's also something that doesn't seem to be controlled via the "Apple Configurator."

Thanks in advance.

Todd_H,

I understand wanting to make sure your data usage is not run up with the use of mobile hotspot. The mobile hotspot can be blocked on lines so it can not be used. Please private message me so I can make sure the block is placed.

The easiest way put a password on the phone. Do not give to the child. Make sure they are aware that your phone is off limits.

If you have Verizon tinker with your account, you may have more issues. Just a heads up.

Good Luck
