I want to remove direct access to the Emergency Phone in Kids mode. Anything I find regarding this just says to turn it off but that's no longer possible on newer phones. Anyone have a solution?
Edit: Note that this is to prevent young kids from making calls for fun to random people or emergency services while kids mode is active. I would prefer this locked behind a pin or password.
All phones are required by law to be able to make emergency calls, regardless of whether there is a SIM or phone plan or other restrictions. It cannot be disabled. Why would you not want your child to be able to reach someone in an emergency?
The child in question would be using my phone while I am nearby and does not need to be calling anyone. They think it's fun to call people say hello laugh then hang up over and over again, and I doubt anyone picking up for an emergency call needs that
That child, then, is not mature enough to have a phone of any kind. I think even Firefly type phones have this requirement. If your child needs something for internet access or entertainment, that's what tablets are for.
I understand that,I just want it locked behind a pin or password so a child can't make calls to 911 for no reason over and over let alone call anybody else.
@MKib Locking the feature behind a PIN or password would defeat the purpose. The thought is that someone who is half conscious can easily call for help by quickly dialing 911. People forget their PIN or password when they are just sitting on the couch. A lot of people would have difficulty in high stress emergency situations.
