Blocking Devices from broadband on the broadband Vodafone app

Hi,

I used to be able to block single devices from the wifi before using the broadband app. I use to control wifi usage of my teenager as he is in late teens and i find this the best way to do it rather than apple parental control.

However, I just discovered that this feature is now been removed? is everybody else having the same issue.

Thanks

I don't use that option, but it's still present in my Vodafone Broadband app Ver 4.5.7.

I tested it, and yes it does work.

There's another new member with this exact problem. I suggest the app has been updated and has lost this function. Report it on the App Store/Play Store.

Oops, my previous post had a typo, I'm on 4.6.7, and the blocking function works for me.

D'oh! 😁

Sadly I have been force upgraded (or should I say downgraded) to v5.0.0 and this function is no longer available.

The new app is utterly appalling and most of the previous functionality has disappeared.

I have informed Vodafone I WILL be leaving early and I WILL NOT be paying up the remainder of my contract.

Total shambles.

The current version on the playstore appears to be 4.6.7, or are you on iPhone?

To leave an ISP because it's app has lost some functionality, seems extreme.

I have iPhone and yes it might seem extreme but it was a key reason for taking out the contract in the first place. I used it to help parent my children and could block certain devices at certain times or if they stepped out of line. Removing it means I have less function than before and on principle I will cancel.

Latest version is 4.6.7  Anyone reading this should block updates if they want to keep this function.

@davedenoon  Careful with that idea. You're up against a wealthy company with lawyers, accountants, etc. Go through the complaints procedure and get an agreement to leave early without contract termination fee.
