Hilariously, there's actually nothing stopping the kid phoning whoever they want. It's controlled by a contact group on the phone, that the child device can edit at will. Step 1 would be to add all friends to that group.

Ha. I guess I'll put it on my son's phone and tell him that there is a "solution" to fully defeat the app. Make a game out of it. (and I'll tell him Mom won't know)

PS this is how you build trust with your kids.

By turning your partner into a common enemy?

No, by playing a game.

Kids don't use phones to make voice calls, grandpa, for much the same reason they don't use morse code, or smoke signals.

"Kids"? Hell, I'm 31 and the only people I ever call are my parents.

Grandpa? Ouch! I'm three years younger than you!
