Which devices are compatible with parental controls?

[Dirty_Deeds]

I cannot seem to find any relevant parental control topics that are fairly new (within a year).  Can someone help me decide on a good smartphone for a teenager that can be restricted with parental controls?  I would like my teenager to have a phone but not sure he is mature enough to be trusted with certain aspects of a smartphone.  So, I'm looking at controlling some of the internet access.

Thank you for any help or direction.

Hello Dirty_Deeds!

I can definitely help explore your options for restricting your child's phone use. Most of our devices are compatible with our $5 FamilyBase feature. http://vz.to/1itIwrL This allows you to restrict how much your teenager uses his phone, as well as the timeframe he's allowed access. In addition, we offer free age appropriate content controls that help restrict the types of sites the phone has access to as well.

Thank you,

Who should I contact about getting a phone that will meet the needs I've mentioned?  Can I look up types of phones that are compatible with FamilyBase?

Great news, Dirty_Deeds. FamilyBase is compatible with most of our devices. You can view additional information with number 6 here: http://vz.to/11TIOAM
