Reporting is generated for certain periods. Parents can view statistics for one day or view information in the archive for the entire period of using the smartphone. The reports show whether the child tried to access prohibited resources and what other Internet requests were sent to the system. With standard settings, reporting is generated once a week.

What to do if the PIN code was entered incorrectly 3 times?
It is known that the number of attempts to correctly enter the PIN code is three. If unsuccessful, access to the device will be blocked. Now the fate of the SIM card depends on the correct entry of the 8-digit pack code, for which the subscriber is given 10 attempts. You can find this secret combination on the plastic base where the SIM card was originally attached. 8 digits are hidden under a protective layer that can be easily erased with a coin.
To remove the blocking, you need not just enter the found numbers, but send a USSD request * * 05 * PUK1 * new PIN1 * repeat new PIN1 # .
Questions about PIN2 and PUK2 arise much less frequently. But if the user encounters a problem with the PIN2 code, then the following USSD request should be sent: * * 052 * PUK2 * new PIN2 * repeat new PIN2 # .
If all 10 unlocking attempts are unsuccessful, the Beeline SIM card will be blocked forever.
By the way, this is one of the effective ways to block a card yourself, after which the phone number stops functioning. In this case, the functionality of the number can only be restored through the procedure of replacing the SIM card.
To prevent searching for passwords from taking up free time, they must be kept in a certain place. It is better to store the plastic base from the Beeline SIM card with the codes indicated on it along with the contract for the provision of communication services. In this case, finding them will not be difficult.
If the default numbers are difficult to remember, you can change them using the “Security” menu in the phone settings. The length of your unique password should be between 4 and 8 digits. But even the changed password must be written down. And the best way to do this is with the starter pack, by changing the standard combination to a new one.
In conclusion, I would like to note that the request to enter a PIN code can be completely canceled by changing the parameters in the settings of the mobile device. But in this case, the information on the SIM card will not be protected.
Is it possible to find out where the child is?
Convenient search for a child by phone number with.

Almost every Beeline subscriber uses cellular communications every day and periodically recharges their mobile phone. Some phone models ask for a PIN code after rebooting. That is, as soon as you turn off and turn on the phone again, a request to enter a four-digit code will appear on the screen. For most users this is not a problem. But what to do when you can’t remember a sequence of four digits and how to quickly find out your Beeline PIN code, without which further operation of the mobile device is not possible?

The call center employee will need to provide passport details, the number of the controlled smartphone and fill out a deactivation request.
If you need to adjust your access settings, you should not disable the service. All you need to do is change the data in the application. It is important to remember that disabling a feature on a child's phone does not deactivate the subscription on the parent's device.
