AT&T Unveils Suite of Parental Controls

[Nikos Kartalis]

AT&T today announced a comprehensive Web site of parental controls designed to educate and empower parents. AT&T Smart Limits brings together information for parental control features for the full suite of AT&T services — wireless, wireline, high speed Internet access and video — into one online portal.

The site — located at www.att.com/smartlimits — provides information and directions on how to use parental controls for wireless, Internet, video and home phone services from AT&T. With features ranging from content controls to channel and phone-number blockers, parental control for these AT&T services help establish sensible boundaries around the technology children use on a daily basis.

AT&T Smart Limits is another example of a benefit from AT&T Inc.'s Dec. 29, 2006, acquisition of BellSouth and consolidated ownership of Cingular Wireless — and builds on the company's philosophy of simplifying how customers use communications services, while combining wireless/wireline services in ways that provide tangible benefits for customers.

"A torrent of information and entertainment comes at us every day from wireless phones and wired phones, from the Internet, and from TV," said Randall Stephenson, AT&T chief operating officer. "With AT&T Smart Limits, we are giving our customers an intuitive, easy-to-use way of learning how to manage this content and decide what is appropriate for their families, especially their children."
