Q: I would like to be able to monitor my son's iphone activity.  Do you know of any programs that allow this without having to back up the data to the icloud first?  We do not have WIFI.  We use a data plan, thus his info is not backed up regularly.

    How do we know that you're not a jealous ex-boyfriend stalking a woman?  I'm just saying.

    If the account is in your name you have access to the account call and SMS history, can install parental controls etc. For Example,  I've given my daughter, 15, a VZW phone, but my name is the name on the account. 

     

    If the account is not in your name, the cell provider won't work with you due to concerns about what Carl mentions.
