at&t is now giving parents a feature many have wanted for a long time, parental control over their child’s cell phone.

The new feature which launched today Tuesday September 4th will allow parents to block certain calls, limit the time their child can be on the phone.  The service is called Smart Limits and will cost an additional 4.99 a month.

To day being the first day of school here in NYC I decided to walk outside and ask some kids and teenagers on the way to school of what they thought of the new feature. They all hated it except for some geeky looking guy.

I personally think the service is great, not only for parents buy for business owners who give their employees cell phones, only allow them to talk during work hours, might help keep your bill down.
