How do I block kids phone so they don't go over their data limit?

My son continues to go over his data plan every month.  I want to block the data so when his data usage is used, he cannot go over the usage until it starts over the next month.  I do not want to buy a more expensive data plan

I have a hard time understanding how this is Verizon's fault.   Having a phone is a responsibility and part of that is living within the limits of the plan.  Also the idea of post paid is to always have service, and pay after if you go over, thus the "post".  This is important for many to always have service that is not cut off. 
There is is a solution for those that cannot generally stick to limits, prepaid service.  Get your son prepaid service and when the limits are reached, no service.  Or get the family base.  But at least understand what post paid actually means.

    How do I block a phone number calling my iPhone, so it only hears a busy tone?

    You cannot do this on the iPhone - this is a feature/service that must be provided by the carrier. Contact your carrier and ask if they can do this. In the US, for example, AT&T offers as part of the SmartLimits package.

    You can't block it from use worldwide. Some carriers will block phones reported as stolen. I hope you had a passcode on it and that you had set the option to erase the phone after 10 failed tries. If you didn't change every password on every account ever accessed from the iPhone. And cancel any credit cards that you have used from the iPhone.

    If you use a GSM carrier, Settings>Phone>Caller ID>Off. If you use a CDMA carrier, you'll need to find out the codes you dial ahead of the number to block it.

  • TS3276 how do I block harassing senders, mail I don't want to receive

    I am receiving harassing emails with unwanted suggestions (sometimes suggestions appear sexual).  I want to block these emails from coming thru.  I think they're from the same person, he/she just keeps changing their name & email addr, but most are from hotml.  How can I block these emails?  They are very offensive.  I've already emailed hotml, talked with my provider and talked with the police.  No help

    The best option available now is to use the junk mail filtering.

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you may need to hide these purchases in the iTunes Store in order to prevent them from displaying on the Apple TV. Take a look at the article below for more information.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

    Hello,
    The services you listed in your post will require a data plan which is provisioned by your wireless provider. You may want to contact your wireless provider to see if you have the correct plan.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You'll need an application that edits the pics to do this: Acorn, Seashore, Photoshop Elements, Graphic Coverter are some, but there are many others - search on MacUpdate
    Of course, iPhoto will do this too.

  • Anyone going over their Data now that they have a Samsung S5?

    I just recently (3 weeks) purchased a Samsung S5 and it shows I am using Data when I am positive I am connected to WIFI (such as I am at home and I know our WIFI is working). We're going over our data limit for the first time ever. It even shows data usage this morning while I was at home and again...the wifi is working at home. Anyone have any answers?

    Go into Settings ... Data Usage, and look at your Mobile data and wifi usage.  Which apps are using the mobile data? 
    We have 4 lines on our family plan, and over the years have had several smartphones (iPhones, Blackberry, Android and Windows phones, various models).  Only once did I see a data "spike", when my daughter first got her iPhone 5C.  It was gobbling data, till she went into her app list and shut off the data for lots of things. 
    Whenever we get a new (smart) phone, I typically don't activate it until I have used wifi to download all my apps and get my email hooked up.  Once it all works on wifi, then I'll activate the new phone.  I make sure my apps are set to update over wifi only (it may be a setting within each app), and my photos are backing up over wifi only.  Facebook now auto plays videos, and you need to change the setting to play videos on wifi only.  Same with email - set it to down load attachments over wifi only.
    There are lots of ways data your device can use data; finding out which apps and what processes are the culprits (by looking at the data usage on the phone) can help you to use your data allotment most effectively.

    Hello Renvin29,
    It sounds like you need to disable your iPhone remotely. I'm sorry to hear about your phone! The only way to do this with is Apple services is if you had Find my iPhone enabled. You have 2 options:
    You can use this article to put the phone into Lost Mode and preserve your data on it, but prevent access to it:
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2700
    Or you can just erase it remotely outright:
    iCloud: Erase your device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2701
    You should also take a look at this article for additional info on what to do about this situation:

  • How to keep videos on iPod so they don't get deleted during sync?

    Hi,
    I have about 40GB of videos that I bought from iTunes. I bought them on my Mac Mini and used up most of my memory on it. So I deleted some of these videos from my computer and put them on backup DVD's to clear up some space on my computer.
    When I sync my iPod when I get new videos, I get a message saying that some of the videos on my iPod are not on my computer and if I would like to transfer them back on. I click no, because they would not all fit.
    So then it transfers all the videos present on my computers and replaces the ones I had before, since they are no longer on it. All the time I sync my iPod completely, I have to put those replaced videos (fortunately saved on DVD's) them back on manually.
    It's really annoying... Is there a way to tell my iPod not to touch certain videos and leave them on my iPod? So that they don't get replaced all the time?
    Or does anyone have any suggestions?
    Please help me!!! Thanks

    First suggestion is to go out and get an external hard drive to give you a place to store ALL your stuff in one place. Hard drives are cheap. Last night I was at Costco and they had a Triple Interface (eSATA, USB2, and Firewire 400) Seagate 750GB drive (w/5-yr warranty) for $200. Online I see 500GB drives for $130 and under. And you can get as high as 360GB for under $100 these days. So get one!
    Anyway, one thing you can do is to switch your iPod from auto update to MANUAL update. Now iTunes will not remove anything. However it also won't do anything else either. You have to drag and drop stuff from the library into your iPod to add them and select them on the iPod and hit Delete to remove them. Also playcounts, ratings, etc. do not sync back to iTunes in manual mode.
    My suggestion is short term switch to manual sync, then order or pick up locally an external drive. Then get all your stuff back onto your library when you have the bigger disk. Once put together again, change the iPod back to auto sync.
    Patrick
