Blue Coat do a browser that blocks nasty content

Other than setting up a proxy for the home network and putting all
traffic through that I don't think that you can use anything to monitor
web usage due to app sandboxing. You will certainly struggle to monitor
messages seeing as they are sent via GSM.

Hi Paildotcom crew,
I received a request from a friend for a recommendation for parental
control software on an iPhone. Since I don't have any first-hand
experience with any available apps out there, I thought I would reach
out to the group.
As it stands now, they've used the parental control features of iOS to
lock down access to anything but the default apps on the phone. The
teen does not have access to install any additional apps. The parents
would like to monitor text messages, Safari and YouTube usage. I'm
assuming additional controls to block/filter content would be wanted
features as well.
It seems that the iOS market is limited to replacing these
applications with vendor supplied apps to achieve these controls.
Aside from jail breaking the phone (which I have not yet looked into),
there appears to be limitations of the iOS environment to change the
behavior of these default-installed applications outside the built-in
parental controls.
Do you have any first-hand experience implementing these type controls
and if so, what would you recommend?
Thanks!
Aaron
