How can I permanently block Facebook on my Nokia phone?

Mayur Godhani asks:

Hello community, this is a serious matter for me. There is one Nokia 3110C Mobile at our home, and my niece always uses Facebook in my absence. So I want to block Facebook permanently on that phone.

Is there any system tweak for Nokia mobile to disable Facebook or Internet service permanently?

Hoping for best answer.
Thanks.

She is very clever, and i wont let her know that i blocked specific application with passwords…

I want to disable facebook website or want to block all outgoing web browser requests from my phone…

plan one delete all the interner configuration settings you got from your network provider
plan two contact your network provider to stop your inter connection

I already tried both of your suggestion before !!!
As result of it, she reactivated internet and installed new settings :( and balance cut-off from home mobile too… :P

i guess she is intelligent just see which web browser she uses
if its uc web chenge the proxy to any custom one that will not allow to connect ,and change the default settings so that she wont notice
or there is another trick
change the date (espeacially the year) and turn off antomatic update of date and time
(keep ur fingers crossed so that she dont notices it )
and unfortunately u cant do it through any other ways :)

Changing date and time is good idea, but not recommended for permanent solution..

Hi!
Can Do It easier, disable access to the Internet with this phone?

Mayur Godhani

I already mentioned that if i deactivate internet she instantly reactivate it from existing home mobile balance and as result of activation service provider automatically sends new settings too (

delete the access points if you use gprs or change the profile to flight.

Mayur Godhani

Changing profile to flight can disable only an internet connection ? and other features will work or not ?
