Verizon Smart Family - Set Minute Limits

Here's how to set minute limits on a child device using the Smart Family parent app on your smartphone or tablet.
To perform the steps below, you need to:
  • Ensure the Smart Family™ app is installed on the parent device.
  • Sign in to the app using a My Verizon user ID or mobile number that has Account Owner or Manager access privileges.
  • Ensure the child device is powered off prior to adding or removing limits.
  1. From the Smart Family parent app, tap the
    Family Profiles tab
     (bottom menu).
  2. Choose the profile of the family member you wish to view.
  3. From the Parental Controls section, tap
    Restrict usage
    .
  4. Tap
    Call limits
    .
    This option is unavailable for lines on the justkids plan or Android tablets.
  5. Enter the minutes limit.
    Once the limit is reached, placing and receiving calls is restricted (except to/from 911 and trusted contacts) until the next billing cycle.
    Your child receives a free text alert when they're within 15 minutes of the limit; You receive an alert once they've reached the limit.
    If your child calls 911, call limits are suspended and you need to restart restrictions via the Verizon Smart Family parent app.
