I'm looking for a way to restrict the callable phone numbers iOS devices managed with OS X Server can call. I want to do this stealthily so the end user does not know, and cannot block me from doing it. Before I invest too much time it would be nice to know if it is even possible.
Teenager a little too social during school hours and would like to lock his phone down when needed so can only call mom or myself.
Hi 2k3sgm,
Apple provided Use Restrictions on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support to assist parents with it. I have not used a method in PM as yet, nor tried it as my 'clients' thus far are adults!

Leo,
Thanks for the response. I'm aware of the restrictions on the device itself. My intention is to be able to effect change to the device without having to have it in my hands and without the user being aware.
In other words I can log in from wherever and make the change instantly, instead of having to get the device.
These settings mentioned in your link are exactly the same you can also push with PM.
I just checked my PM installation and have not found anything which could restrict phone numbers.
Looks like that this is not possible.
Thanks guys, it's beginning to look like I'll have to go about this from a different angle.
You have the option to configure a payload to lock the phone in single-app mode for the period, and/or maybe disable touch with it. That is a solution that I can think about, but I have not really explored all possibilities as yet.

OS X server: can you restrict iOS devices to only call certain numbers?
