Family Allowances seems to be some kind of joke
- 9 years ago
Just so I'm on the same page with you @rglaus, are you looking for something that'll block the devices built-in functions to be blocked? Our Family Allowances is designed to restrict the phone from using services on the network. Unfortunately, we don't have a feature that we offer if you're trying to block them from accessing the phone's internal features.
It's 2025 and T-Mobile still doesn't have the ability to allow parents to restrict phone usage by set hours: For Example. I don't want my son using his phone from 9am-2pm Mon-Fri-- which are school hours. The T Mobile Family mode app only allows you to set usage limits- i.e. 2 hrs, 3 hrs, etc. This parental control is completely useless.
Verizon has had this feature for over 10yrs!! When will T-mobile have this ability? If not soon, I'll just back to Verizon.

I had this same concern with my child in wanting to block certain hours of the day. Try looking into Googles Family Link App & see if this will help meet your needs.
