I haven't posted anything on GYE for about 2 years, but my recent struggles have brought me to seek some advice.
Until fairly recently, I thought I was so great for not having a smart phone. No internet access, right?
Wrong. I'm not sure how or why, but my non-smart phone now has internet access. Granted many websites are too large to be opened on my phone, but there are plenty of websites (including unfiltered google images and erotica literature) that do open up on my phone. Am I right in assuming that a filter will not work on my simple flip phone?
Does anyone have any ideas? I could really use some help.
Thanks. Tizku l'mitzvos

Welcome back!

Depending on your carrier you might be able to ask them to disable the data access.

I have done this several times in the past.

"But Sir, you have unlimited data. It doesn't cost you anything!"
"I know, but it's getting in the way of my work and productivity and I really don't want it. Please just disable it."
"No problem, I could certainly see how that can be an issue."

SF794 - Kol Hakovod. Figure out how to block or filter it!
