Twitter is a communication network that enables users to send and receive text based posts of up to 140 characters (known as “tweets”). Updates are displayed on a users profile page at Twitter.com and delivered in real time to those who’ve signed up for them. Twitter updates can also be received through integration with other social networking sites, including Facebook, MySpace, Linkedin (using Twhirl software) or via SMS, RSS or Twittermobile.

Users can shoot pictures or videos with the built-in digital camera.

“We understand the Internet is an incredible source for entertainment, education and social networking, but also a challenge considering the large number of Internet sites featuring content that may be inappropriate for children to view,” said Adel Bazerghi, Senior Vice President of Products for Bell Mobility. “As use of the Internet on mobile phones grows, fuelled by the popularity of smartphones and the fast access speeds delivered by 3G networks, our clients have asked for tools to help them manage access. Bell Parental Control offers them content filtering capability on mobile phones for the first time in Canada.”

The solution employs Unipier Ltd.’s Intelligent Policy Manager (IPM) system, which sets the guidelines for identifying and filtering content. The system applies these guidelines in real-time over any mobile content.

To activate Parental Control, payment-responsible account holders visit My Bell or Solo Mobile self serve and follow the instructions on the password-protected sites. Parental Control is available nationally on most phones for $5 a month on both prepaid and postpaid accounts.
