- Vodafone Guardian is an application designed to help mobile phone users block unwanted communications to their mobile phone and restrict access to the internet and other features on the phone. Vodafone Guardian is not proposed as a solution to control anti-social activities such as harassment or bullying and this application will not block all harassing or bullying messages. If you are being bullied or harassed, we would recommend that you look at http://parents.vodafone.com/cyberbullying for help and further information.

Vodafone Guardian also permits calls to a specified list of numbers including emergency, child protection and Vodafone service numbers. A full list of these numbers can be found here.
