Noob Question... Does your iphone bill show all of the websites you've visited?

[Soreo]

Sorry if this question had been asked before, I had briefly skimmed the forums to see if anyone had posted anything similar and didn't see anything.

But seriously. I'm sort of worried
If you know what I mean.
Because I don't pay my bill.

[Ntombi]

No, it just shows as DATA.

Yeah, it lists all the pages you've been to and how long you spent on them.








Only joking - it only lists the
amount of data, not which dodgy sites you've been visiting :D

[richg916]

No, it just shows data transfer and the kb usage and the date. I just checked my latest bill.

[Apple Ink]

Hmmmmmmmmm.........

So what are we watching on our iPhone eh????:p;)

[Me1000]

So to reaffirm what everyone else says, no your mom wont see which porn sites you have been visiting on your iPhone.
:p

[Apple Ink]

And any ways...... according to US Laws (at least thats what I've heard) no institution is allowed to disclose information such as this via a public mode like bills!

[mciarlo]

I love how there's one of these threads every other day :p

No, they will not see which pRons you have been visiting.

No, not really.
My parental units have secretly (well, it's not so secret since I know) loaded this software on my computer that lets them see all the websites I visit. They check daily- they don't think I know. I do.

So I'm confined to alternative routes, like the iPhone or the Wii browser.

Wow..I would have some fun with that...start loading up your history with lots of cult web-sites...like a ton of scientology pages, and then if they ask about it say you're very private about your religion and kindly ask them to stop suppressing you. You could freak them out in so many ways, which might be just desserts for the privacy invasion.

that wil do the trick to get around the software or just disable the softweare most sits in your system tray and can be disabled on right click

Anyone with viable suggestions to circumvent such parental issues?

Here is an idea! if its your computer just back up all your data and restore your comp to get the software off there! and the create an alias account that they won't know about and just use that one!

[Samwise592]

I'm not so sure that proxy site will work for the OP. His parents might have used a keylogger... which would tell them everything that he TYPED, and what he CLICKED on.

Also, it might not be a visible program. I've dealt with keyloggers that run as system services, invisibly.

[iViet]

wow, must be nice to look at porn on your phone , when I was your age, we had to luckily find a dirty mag$

You know, if I am to ever become a dad, I would never install spyware on my family computer. What's the point? Who doesn't watch porn? It's part of the natural growing up process. As long as the kid's not addicted to it, it's fine. Installing spyware is like sending a message - "I don't trust you." It just doesn't help foster a healthy parent-child relationship IMO. :confused: Agree/disagree?

[Col Ronson]

Your parents won't know you're looking up porn on your iphone don't worry.

all the att bill lists are
the phone numbers of all your calls and texts

and how many kb/mb of data you've sent received.

[Cynicalone]

Even if you look at the account online it only show's when you accessed data, and how much data you transfered.

Your good to go a long as you clear your history on the phone. :cool:

I completely agree, there has to be some trust between the parents and child for a healthy relationship. Otherwise, both parties end just trying to find some new way to circumvent the other.

EXACTLY. When your parents install something on your computer that shows them everything you've done, it's such an invasion of privacy- and the thing is, I actually had to figure out that they were doing this MYSELF, otherwise I would've never known.
And the fact that when you DO watch porn, and THEY know, all that comes along are awkward conversations about your day..

Mom: "So, what did you do today?"
Me: "Nothing... uhh.. I read a book... Surfed.. the web.."

So, what happens when they check this thread to see why you've been so much time in it?

[TB07-NJ]

Tell that to the father whose son or daughter was murdered when she or he met up with some pervert in a chat room. It's nothing to do with TRUST. When you grow up and have a family you'll understand. Most kids say "I'll never do this or that when I have kids." You will change your mind very quickly.

Then perhaps you didn't raise your kids to be smart enough to avoid meeting people through chat rooms? Common sense told me in my teens that I shouldn't meet these weirdos online and that chatrooms are generally lame. I'm pretty sure my parents raised me that way.

Being extra protective, or extra lax is both wrong. Installing software to spy on your kids is being too protective and it does no good. Hear it from the original poster Soreo. He figured out that he is being spied on and he's circumventing it instead. He still got what he wanted, and his relationship with his parents is possibly strained (Soreo disappointed that his parents are spying on him?). It's a lose - lose situation from a parent's point of view.

But I do understand what you are saying. I'm sitting here acting like I know how to be a parent when I'm only in my mid-20s. Maybe I will indeed turn into an over-protective parent once I have my own kids. ;)

[TB07-NJ]

I was your age during "the summer of love." (That's the late 60's if you can't relate). Drugs, sex and booze (and no AIDS or INTERNET to worry about). My hair was down to my waist. We smoked dope and protested the war (sound familiar?) When my 2 girls were born in the early 70's my whole world turned around and I went from Hippie (that's what we were called then :) ) to father. You may think you know everything now but YOU WILL CHANGE no matter what you say or think now. Mark my words. Wait till your 16 year old daughter wants to go out on her first date with a some kid who drives. You'll look back on how you perceived things when you were 20 and scratch your head.

Edit: And I (we) raised our kids VERY smart. Of course the world was different then so the issues were not quite the same. One has a Doctorate in Chem E from UVA and the other is a MSW from Rutgers.

By the way. I wish I had your attitude when I was your age. It was my way or nothing then. With what you said below you can be very sure you will be a great father when that time comes (just don't rush!). :) But I do understand what you are saying.

My dad looks at porno in front of me sometimes, I have nothing to worry about! lol I saw my first porn magazine at my dad's old huge office (his workers get them all around, especially in the bathroom) But yeah, for the OP, that could make some interesting conversation:

OP's mom: "Honey, what are you doing?"
OP: "Nothing, just checking out dad's favorite site."
OP's mom: "Oh, what's that?"
OP: "Playboy."
OP's mom starts shouting, then his dad comes in:
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?
OP's mom: "Your son looking at playmates on the internet."
OP's dad: "Oh crap, he's not using my account, is he? I only get five more videos this month.

...

OP: I would hire some college kids in dark suits and sunglasses to park out in front of your house in a black van for a few random nights. Install a crappy Radio Shack antenna on the roof so it looks like a surveillance vehicle. Maybe they'll rethink their scrutiny once they've had a taste of it.

[LaLa10]

well umm i don't have that particular problem...I'm on a stupid family plan bs too (i'm gonna get my own plan soon i hope). But yeah lately my psychotic father has been checking on every phone call i recieve or make every message every little thing i do on my iphone....(so i resorted to not even using the damn thing). I don't text but i used mobile yahoo messnger to talk with/message friends instead. I thought this was fool proof cuz it's free won't be charged onto the bill....well apparently it shows up on the stupid bill that i sent out multimedia (something like that) messages and shows that i recieve them too the actual messages aren't shown but it acknowledges/records the fact that i'm sending messages through yahoo messenger. Is this really possible? i'd like to know... i just don't want to use my phone anymore...paranoid. It's not that i do anything wrong or innapropriate....i just don't like this invasion of my privacy... it's for lack of better words ****ing annoying!!:(

No it doesn't. Your bill should just reflect it as DATA and the usage amount and the cost.

I disagree for these reasons:

I think parents have a responsibility to protect their children. Monitoring internet usage is no different than being aware of who your child leaves home with or goes to see. A kid (your word) is still developing physically, mentally and emotionally and requires supervision to guide him/her to "growing up" (your term). As we all know, there are many predatory things that take place on the internet.

Also, kids aren't as skeptical on the internet as most adults are. If financial information or other personal data is stored on the computer, identity theft is a huge concern for most adults and they are more skilled at recognizing suspicious websites and emails than kids are.

[Reach9]

LOL oh OP, you're hilarious. Nope your mom won't see your porn sites :p

[Exhumed]

You've gotta be one horny little bastard to be doing that on a 3 inch screen.

Yeah but you can take it into the bathroom with you and run the shower >_>

Not4u2c: I'm 20, and I grew up with the internet. His opinion will NOT change, I think. All it took for me was this:
"Hey mom, it says we won a prize!"
"Don't click on that, it's trying to trick you, you didn't really win a prize."
"Oh....okay."

I remember downloading grainy 30-second clips and converting them to be played on my PSP, then doing just that. Ah, the good old days...? Six or seven years ago.

I'm only 20, I'm no parent, but Soreo's parents are still crossing the line. I can understand their perspective, but honestly, by the time I have kids, I don't think there will be any hope of protecting them from the internet. My 5-year-old son will stumble onto a blocked website, and will probably be intrigued by it. Everyone will have an internet phone by then, and everyone will grow up using the internet. Society will change. "Ah, I can't remember what that movie was called..." It used to stop there. Now: "Oh, here it is, I pulled it up on Google."

Is there any evidence to suggest that a child's mind is seriously screwed up by stumbling onto some triple-penetration porn? I mean, I don't want my kid watching it, but I wonder how damaging it really is.

[mikelegacy]

YES!
Phew. Thank you for the reassurance.
I got a little scared
Your parents can't see, but if you are searching on WIFI, your ISP can backtrace it. They only really do bandwith checks for large items and it's rare that they do it. Mostly, they do it for pervert and pedophiles and such.

[binaryblob]

Why do people resort to the lowest common denominator, and assume that the inevitable mentions of porn are amusing or original? Seriously, try a little harder - you're (supposedly) more intelligent than that, yes?

[Sonic04GT]

Lol great thread

[rerelease]

Most kids say "I'll never do this or that when I have kids." You will change your mind very quickly.

You don't have to *spy* on your kids to ensure their safety. My parents had a pretty trusting relationship with me. Even before broadband was available, they got me my own phone line and computer when I was 10 (I'm 20 now) and basically just taught me common sense. E.g., not to tell any strangers where I live. They always trusted me to do the right thing, and they're open enough parents that I don't feel the need to lie to them about anything I do. That's not to say I never had conflict with them - I did; I was a teenager afterall. But looking back, they were definitely very reasonable people and I'm thankful for that.

But yea, they taught me the right things and trusted me to follow through. I never got kidnapped, I don't engage in substance abuse, and I have a pretty high GPA in college right now (3.7 with a very science-intense work load). My point is you can raise kids properly without spying on them. Just like you're not always going to know with certainty exactly where it is that they go when they hang out with their friends, you can't always know everything they do online. In fact, some of the "worse" kids I know are those who were overly scrutinized by their parents.

And yes I know this is an old thread. I just wanted to give my $0.02
