Can the internet be accessed with wifi on this phone? If so, can that be restricted with some kind of parental control?

My wifi can not be accessed through the phone. I only have a talk and text plan and wifi does not connect like a smart phone would. It defaults to AT&T network which says connection error. Don't know if it's the same for a different plan with wifi however.

Parental controls are usually part of your internet server. There are good app locks on the play store, which I use to keep my settings locked.

Yes it can. but like any other phone, battery life will go down faster when Wifi is on so make sure to only have wifi on when you need to use the net.

You can surf Internet, but it's not a 3G phone.I think it's Japanese phone.I don't believe you can download those apps. Actually, I never tried to I wouldn't know.

You can download an APP for parental control if do you want, some apps like Mobicip, Funamo, Norton Family, etc... will work on this android tablet.

That only means that it is wifi capable. You still have to connect to a wireless network to access the internet.

This will access the internet, however it will not be the same experience as a smart phone. You can check email, search Amazon, eBay and so on but it will be tedious and laborious. You'd still need a data plan or wifi, and on that I have had 2. The second had a newer operating system and I bought it instead of an iphone because I was used to it and it was simple but it was just so aggravating for internet access. If you plan to do much on the net you'd be better off getting a smartphone.

Yes - through the parental controls on the web based control portal or on the smartphone Cloud Connect app - you can completely block internet access to a specific device/computer.

This is not a smart phone. However, you can access some of the internet through data only, no Wi-Fi

Keep in mind that this is an older generation phone (came out in 2007, I believe). No WiFi, just a regular cellular connection. While it resembles a state-of-the-art "smartphone," it is relatively primitive for accessing the Internet. Think of it a a good cell phone for the money, with which you can text and take photos.

I actually found a way - you delete the access points from the phone, except for the wifi ones. If the access points don't exist, then you can't connect via them.

you can disable the wifi and can not use it to activate again. And if you do not purchase a data plan with your preferred telephony would not have active internet. hope will be of your help. see you soon ..

I loved this phone, but I never had data on it. I believe that you can connect to the internet, although I am not sure what the cost of doing so would be. I finally got a smart phone, but it is costly to have internet. Hope this helped.

WOW, I have to say that is the best question I have seen about this device.The answer is unfortunately no. There is definitely a way if you are willing to jailbreak the application and write your own parental control widget. But there is no software that you can install to control what your child can do on the device, including browsing to questionable material.I would not be surprised if somebody is already working on such an applet to sell at the applications store. For now though, I haven't seen anything like that.
