Subject: Sydney, cellphone rules in Perrysburg
Sydney is now being allowed 3 hrs/day cell phone usage per day. She can break it up into 1-hour blocks if she wants. Very occasionally we let her do 30-minute blocks in a special situation, however we are careful about that as we don't want her texting all throughout the day, preferably no more than 3 blocks of time in a day. She has to request usage from us every time. We then go into master account and unblock her phone and monitor her usage, then block it again at the end of her time. It isn't convenient but it seems to be working for now.
During her allowed usage, a maximum of 10 phone numbers can be contacted by phone or text, which we input and can change at any time. The first 4 numbers are parents,. Those 4 remain constant, and are available 24/7, even when everything else is blocked. Remaining 6 numbers are those Sydney requests. We do our best to investigate, then approve or not, and they are the subject to the 3-hour limit. No other numbers can be contacted, unless she is on wifi, which we keep blocked. She will occasionally request a number swap, which we do for her once she explains clearly who it is and if we approve. We always know who she can/can't text, and who within that list she is texting.
She is not allowed to use data, although has limited use of app's therapist recommended such as Spotify and some games. She cannot download an app herself. Our plan has unlimited data/messaging/voice in all of North America, so no extra charge for Canada, she can listen to Spotify using data included in plan, no need for her to use unrestricted wifi.
Posts to her "boyfriend" Paul appear innocent (nothing more than heart icons, etc. we read her texts). She hasn't been allowed to see him. Pictures are not allowed, unless reviewed first and special permission given. We are able to check account and see if any photo files were sent or received. She is no allowed to delete texts or photos from her phone (other than those with parents), and we can review texts to and from friends anytime we want. If a parent suspects a text(s) has been deleted, we can check in 'real-time' and confront her if necessary. You can request this from us at any time. There is usually about a 10-minute or so delay until it is posted on our permanent record, and we don't see it unless we check it. Also, very occasionally there seems to be a time inaccuracy. Time published is Pacific time zone.

Concerns/Help requested:
1. Wifi access. If Sydney has wifi access at family, relatives, friends houses, she can talk and use internet with no restrictions or monitoring. Unlimited data available throughout North America, hopefully no wifi usage will be necessary, all calls, texts, apps use plan data and are referenced. Also concerned about friends who may be able to set up a 'hotspot' on their phone, which Sydney could access when she is with them. Would like to know if we can block her phone from using any/all wifi sources,not too familiar with iphone. Input welcome.

Our primary goal is to protect Sydney from others and herself, with longer-term goal of teaching her responsible phone usage without supervision. She is improving and showing responsibility by adhering to time limits and other restrictions.
