ABSTRACT:
A parent mobile station is provided that enables real-time parental control over communications with an associated child mobile station. The parent mobile station receives notification of attempted inbound and outbound calls with third parties to and from the child mobile station, or of requests from the child mobile station to retrieve content from a content provider. In response to the notifications, the parent mobile station determines whether or not to permit the inbound and outbound calls or the retrieval of content. If permitted, communications with the child mobile station are routed through the parent mobile station, which itself communicates over a wireless telecommunications network. If not permitted, the parent mobile station does not relay such communications. The child mobile station preferably communicates with the parent mobile station using a wireless local area network (WLAN) or Bluetooth protocol and is preferably incapable of defeating the parental controls with a direct connection to the wireless telecommunications network.
