Riyadh: Virgin Mobile Saudi Arabia has announced the launch of 'Aman Plans', a first-of-its-kind service in the Kingdom that provides digital protection for children directly at the mobile network level, without the need to install additional applications or configure complex device settings.

The launch comes in response to the growing demand for digital solutions that help families protect children while they are online, at a time when smartphones have become an integral part of their daily lives for learning, communication and access to digital content.

'Aman Plans' is powered by integrated technology within the Virgin Mobile network that automatically filters harmful content and blocks access to a number of social media applications, including TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, X, Facebook, Threads and Discord, without requiring users to install parental control software or modify phone settings. Protection is therefore enabled automatically and remains active whenever the device is connected to the Virgin Mobile network.

The service also enables YouTube Restricted Mode in accordance with the platform’s global standards, helping reduce children's exposure to inappropriate content while preserving access to age-appropriate educational and entertainment content.

The company emphasised that smartphones are no longer merely a gateway to social media, but have evolved into essential tools for learning, communication and developing digital skills. This makes it increasingly important to provide solutions that strike a balance between enabling children to benefit from technology and safeguarding their digital wellbeing.

Unlike conventional parental control solutions that rely on apps or device settings, 'Aman Plans' deliver protection directly at the network level, making it significantly more difficult to bypass or disable, while providing parents with greater peace of mind as their children access the internet.

In this context, the company clarified that the service fully respects users’ privacy. It does not access personal data or device content, nor does it delete any files, photos or videos already stored on the phone. Instead, it prevents the downloading of new content or interaction through blocked applications while the device is connected to the Virgin Mobile network.

'Aman Plans' are available in two options to suit different customer needs: Aman 60, which includes 10GB of data and 100 local minutes, and Aman 100, which includes 30GB of data and 300 local minutes, with digital protection integrated into the plan itself.

The company noted that protection is only active when connected to the Virgin Mobile network and is not available when using Wi-Fi networks or while roaming internationally, as the service relies on technologies integrated within the company’s network.

The launch of 'Aman Plans' reflects Beyond ONE Saudi Arabia’s vision of developing telecommunications solutions that promote the responsible use of technology by offering services that go beyond connectivity to enhance digital safety and support families in embracing the Kingdom’s digital transformation with confidence and peace of mind.

The company also confirmed that the service provides an advanced level of protection through network-level content filtering, while noting that, as with all digital protection technologies, it is not possible to guarantee the blocking of 100% of online content due to the constantly evolving nature of the internet.

The service is subject to terms and conditions and is available exclusively as part of Virgin Mobile Saudi Arabia’s 'Aman Plans'.
