How to Take Web Guards off of a Sidekick

T-Mobile's Web Guard feature blocks possible objectionable content on the phone's web browser. The feature blocks a wide variety of web content, including pornography, hate sites, and sites that reference violence, guns, gambling and tobacco. It only blocks web pages, not messages or user-generated content. All Sidekick monthly accounts are automatically activated with Web Guard enabled. You can disable Web Guard through the T-Mobile web site, or by contacting T-Mobile customer care.

Instructions

1. Log into your My T-Mobile account on the t-mobile.com web page.

2. Locate the "Manage" drop down, and click "Your profile."

3. Find the "Phone controls" section, and click the "Edit" link.

4. Click "Turn OFF" under the "Web Guard Status" box.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also disable Web Guard by calling T-Mobile customer care. Dial 611 from your Sidekick, or call [phone] from another line.
