[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 727027, member: 60724"] I will check with Verizon to see what they can do for us, but I have to admit, I don't want to up my bill by any more than $10/month, lest I don't think it's worth it. My son has to pay for this out of his own pocket. He gets an allowance ($20/mo) and he banks pretty much all that he makes from working (he wants a car in a few years...and to pay for college), but as he goes back to school he won't be working as much. His cashflow will be nil many weeks. So, if he goes over, or if I have to hold back 1/2 of his allowance to pay his service, I start to be the bad guy because I broker that transaction. But if he has a prepaid and he has to recharge it, its all on him...I'm not in the middle. Oh, and I'm not going to eat the cost of adding him to our plan just to be the "good parent". Screw that. We pay $80 total each month for two phones and 300 shared peak minutes; unlimited off-peak; and free person-to-person. Unless I am on a phone conf for work we never go over minutes...and when that happens I get reimbursed. So, adding him to our plan isn't going to happen unless our bill stays low and he is willing/able to pick up the difference. Oh, what a joy it will be in two years when we have to decide how best to insure his car... TJR [/QUOTE]
