| Explain that there is a new mobile application that is being installed on their phone. TXTBlocker™ will help them focus on school-work and driving without being distracted by text messages or phone calls at the wrong place or time. |
|
•
With TXTBlocker™ installed, calls will be diverted to voice mail and text messages will be stored for later review when it is safe to use the mobile phone. A text message will be sent to mobile callers to let them know that you are behind the wheel or in a location where mobile phone use is not allowed. This is the message:
|
TXTBlocker™ Auto Response
Currently unavailable. Will get back to you shortly.

Discuss the importance of keeping track of their location. |
|
•
TXTBlocker™ will let you know that your teen has made it to school or soccer practice safely. |
Let them know that TXTBlocker™ will also let you know if they’re at not where they should be, or are driving too fast. |

|
Work with your teen to establish areas where phone use is not allowed. |
|
•
Use the TXTBlocker™ dashboard to enter addresses and view specific locations where phone use should be limited. TXTBlocker™ refers to these locations as a geofence. |
|
|
| 4. |
| Add phone numbers that are off limits to the blocked list. |
|
•
Use TXTBlocker™ to limit phone calls and text messages from people who shouldn’t be contacting your children. The blocked list keeps unwanted calls and text messages from getting through, plus numbers on the blocked list can’t be dialed or sent a text message. |
