A friend contacted me looking for some advice for keeping track of her daughter’s cell phone activity. monitor my child's phone Her teen is very active on her phone (not a big surprise!), and like many parents she had a few concerns and wondered what kinds of tools might be out there. I pulled a list together based on services I have either reviewed or bookmarked to review at a later date. I realized that Be Web Smart is lacking a list of resources for parents who want to monitor mobile activity. So here you go! START WITH YOUR CELL PHONE SERVICE PROVIDER Remember that the cell phone services may not block or monitor activity over WiFi. If your teen has an iPhone and uses iMessage for texting other friends with iPhones (or iPads or iPods) you may need to look into some of the other options.
