How to Activate Parental Controls on BlackBerry Classic Q20

By activating the parental controls on your BlackBerry Classic Q20, you can turn off access to certain apps, features, and content.

You can also restrict incoming phone calls and messages to people in the Contacts app.


Parental Controls settings are protected with a password, making them difficult to change or turn off without your knowledge. You can set your device so that the Parental Controls password is required to add an email or social networking account, or to purchase an app from the BlackBerry World storefront.

Note: If BlackBerry Balance technology is turned on, the Parental Controls feature is not available.
