Thanks ​@Daz_S .  So of if I use the function to temporarily block the sim can I then unblock it easily 48hours later with no issues?

No problem ​@Maguini01 

 

Never done it myself but guess there’s only one way for you to find out!🤞 - their page does show you can.

 

At the end of the day if you can’t unblock it iDM should be able to sort it out - it may require a new SIM but that’s no major drama.

 

The only other thing to consider is if their systems see the SIM flipping between both a lot it may trigger some (unknown to me thus pure conjecture) sort of security protocol.

 

Not being nosey, is this some sort of parental ‘you will go to sleep’ control?

Thanks ​@Daz_S .  Yes exactly that … not the sleep bit but I’d like to block a little one being able to use their socials for 48 hours.

I like it!

 

This isn’t aimed at putting you off, more of a something to consider - If you have a home router you’d need to set that up too to stop him/her from connecting to the Wi-Fi (any apps would still work on Wi-Fi). Also if they’re at school and are clever enough they could tether to a friends phone and still get online.
