Virgin Mobile Kuwait, operated by Connect Arabia WLL, has launched a new child-focused SIM card in partnership with Kidzonet. The service filters online content at the network level, rather than relying only on device-based parental controls.
By screening traffic before it reaches the child’s phone, the SIM is designed to block unsuitable sites and services more consistently across apps and browsers. The approach aims to give parents tighter control over what their children can access online, regardless of the device settings in use.
