Question - Removing/Disabling Get It Now/Other Pay Services?

Let's say I'm a corporate entity (15+ employees), or buying service for someone under 18.

I don't want (either) to go crazy with Get It Now and rack up charges that I would be responsible for, is there any way to:

Disable "Get it Now Access" either with VZW of remove the Menu from the Phone?

I know cable companies have a way of shutting off pay-per-view or blocking access to it via passcode.

Anyone know?

Good question.
I know when i had another line I called them and they put a block on sending/recieving txt messages and or picture messaging. I dont know if they can do this with other VZW Services. I am sure they could somehow.

If you contact customer service or stop into your local store they can put a block on the account for text and picture messaging, GIN, and VCast. Being that you are the account holder, and provided that you do not add the person using the phone as an authorized user with rights to change services (give them limited access not full) you would be the only one who can have the blocks removed.

Also, depending on the phone, you can lock the specific application, but it's a 4-digit code needed to unlock it, so that might be fairly easy to crack.

I have an E815 and can lock pretty much everything, and restrict calls to only the phonebook (also locking the phonebook so no new entries can be added). GIN and text/pix/flix messaging are also lockable.
