Sprint Nextel's Restricted/Unrestricted Web Access

This feature allows the primary account holder to manage access to Sprint PCS Vision and certain Internet sites. It limits web browsing to about 100 preselected sites that are considered safe for all ages. Additionally, Sprint’s Sanyo phones have parental controls built-in to the phone, in which the parent, using a password, can program a specific list of phone numbers the phone is allowed to call. Without that password, the phone will be unable to call any phone number not included in the list.

Sprint Nextel provided no specific information regarding their controls on pornographic or sexual content.

Sprint Nextel provides built-in parental controls on two specific Sanyo phones, but does not specify the availability of parental controls or restrictions against pornographic content on their other phones.

Sprint’s website provides very limited information on its parental controls, and there were no brochures or other printed literature available at their store.
