I found letting them her have a pre paid worked better yes I would but credit on it but on $30 a month if she went through that $30 in a week then it was up to her to find the money somehow to get more credit as I would not pay for any more. So she did have to learn the hard way it took her a couple of months to get it but after a while she learnt to make the credit I put on the phone last....<br /><br />Hi Becca<br /><br />Yeah you can get a lot of great pre paid plans now days which I think is cool.Jo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-735383483646247682011-07-07T04:31:57.019+10:002011-07-07T04:31:57.019+10:00i still use my boost mobile because i'm terrif...i still use my boost mobile because i'm terrified at what the cost on an iPhone would be.

He wanted a cell, so I told him he had to get his own. Good thing because his credit is horrible and he's had his phone shut off too many times to mention. They have got to learn the hard way sometimes.BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432729957196570774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-20187532420261207172011-07-07T00:17:46.393+10:002011-07-07T00:17:46.393+10:00I agree about the prepaid phone with teenagers.

If I ever decide to give my daughters cell phones - not until after they have their driver's licenses, of course, there will be some strict rules about phone usage/texting. Momma believes in enforcing rules.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17834434737356199955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-29781286018636425052011-07-06T17:56:13.825+10:002011-07-06T17:56:13.825+10:00Hi Jo-Anne.

As you say, how these parents can bleat about their children running up huge phone bills!!
