Get Net Nanny Alerts on Your Cell Phone!
Get set to receive cell phone alerts... 2 easy steps!
Net Nanny users are often on the go and unable to check their emails every couple minutes. An alert letting you know that your child is attempting to view an inappropriate website can now be sent to your cell phone (in addition to your email). Cell phone alerts are sent out within five minutes, giving you the opportunity to intervene.
To protect your family you need a tool that can give you real time alerts. You need Net Nanny.
A few ways the Net Nanny cell phone alert can increase online safety for your family:
- Instant notices. Most Net Nanny users are always on the go and can't be checking their email every couple minutes. The cell phone alerts from Net Nanny allow you to receive these alerts on your phone, via text message!
- Protect your family against predators and cyber bullies. Net Nanny's Instant Message Monitor feature examines the content of Instant Messages and alerts parents to possible online predators, cyberbullies and other inappropriate messages sent or received through popular Instant Messaging programs. Receiving these alerts real time allows the parent to call their child and remind them about safe chat guidelines.
- Alert customizations. With Net Nanny you can receive alerts to just your email, just your cell phone, or to your cell phone AND your email. In addition, you can choose which alert types (blocks, warnings, filter avoidances, etc.) are sent to you and which aren't. These customizations, only offered by Net Nanny, increase Internet safety for your entire household!

For example, if you use T-Mobile and your cell phone number is (818) 263-3456 then the Net Nanny TXT Address you'll be using is 8182633456@tmomail.net - Add your Net Nanny TXT Address
Access the administrator options and go to login --> enter your login credentials --> go to email preferences --> click add --> enter your Net Nanny TXT Address in the "Send email to" box and select the alert conditions you'd like --> click OK. Within 10 minutes of adding this new TXT Address you'll be receiving the alerts on your cell phone.
