About Parental Controls
Parental Controls are designed to help you have more control over how the features of the BlackBerry smartphone are
used. With Parental Controls you can block content, turn features on or off, and decide what types of communication are
available. When you turn on Parental Controls a four-digit PIN is required to change the allowed services, which prevents
children or other parties from changing your settings.
