Forums:
I am new to Mobicip and new to the world of ipods. My 3 children (ages 10, 8 & 4) are each getting an ipod Touch from their grandma for Christmas. I did a lot of safe browsing reseach and parental restrictions before giving the okay for these gifts. Well I have all 3 itouches and am preloading some apps and such so that they are "play ready" when they open them. I have purchased the $4.99 app and have it synced to all 3 devices. I want to be able to customize the filtering a little though, specific to each child. I am confused as to whether I need to puchase the premium service 3 times or if I purchase it once and through that am able to monitor usage on each itouch. They are synced through the same itunes account if that matters.
Thanks for help for this newbie who isn't generally techno challenged but sure is on this!

Re: Mobicip for multiple devices

We completely understand why you feel so challenged. Setting up parental controls on 3 iPod Touch devices can get a bit overwhelming. That is why we have created tens of tutorials and FAQs so that parents like yourself can benefit from the discussions that other parents are having.
Mobicip's Safe Browser app can be purchased and downloaded once through your iTunes account and installed on all the devices in your household. You could enable the app using a Mobicip.com account that you create as you enable the app. The Premium subscription is an optional service that allows customization of filtering settings. The Premium is priced on a per-device basis, and you will need 3 Premium subscriptions to monitor 3 devices. Having said that, the 3 subscriptions can be associated with one Mobicip.com account.
To proceed with the purchase, simply login at www.mobicip.com and select Settings > Devices. On this page, you will see links that say "Upgrade Now". Click on any one of these links and proceed. On the pricing page, you will see an option to select the number of devices. Enter 3 on this page and enter your credit card information to complete the purchase. Now launch Mobicip one more time from each device and the Premium settings will be applied immediately.
You can then login at www.mobicip.com at any time to edit your filtering settings for each user. Please let us know if this answers your questions. Otherwise we will happy to assist further.
