BT Parental Controls help keep your children safe online. Once activated, all devices connected to your BT Hub will have their content filtered to the restriction level you set. These filters will also apply if you use your BT ID to log in to EE WiFi hotspots.
If you're accessing the internet via a mobile network, BT Parental Controls cannot protect the device. If you want to restrict your children's mobile browsing, please contact your mobile operator.
