[QUOTE="Gerald Pierce, post: 727031, member: 54639"] TJR, obviously, every child is different, but we got our daughter one when she was about 15. Added it to our plan. Got basic service and insurance to protect against loss/damage, no internet, no text. Added cost, about 10.00. Shortly, all her friends bgan texting her and of course her back to them. Bills went high very quickly. We then added unlimited texting for about 5.00 more. She actually uses the phone very little except to text, so minutes were not an issue. We rarely use all our minutes as most of our calls are mobile to mobile. Our son needed a phone (he's 23 -- long story) and he is much the same way -- lots of text, little voice. SO, we gave him mine -- it had unlimited everything, and I got a new one that just has voice as I do not use any other function, and I had all text messages blocked. My bill was only about 5.00 more by adding the basic service phone. We looked at the prepaid for him, and given his financial responsibility, he would never have minutes when he needed the phone, negating the purpose of getting it for him. The miinutes are rather steep on the prepaids that we looked at, and by having him on our plan, we know we can always get in touch with him. Our whole family has Sprint so all mobile to mobile is free..... works great for us. YMMV. Gerry [/QUOTE]
