[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 356994, member: 6546"] GCVMom-- Call your cell phone company. They can actually BLOCK internet access from the phones... We do not have an internet plan for our cell phones because husband and I never use it--BUT, husband recently got a new phone where the button to access internet was the one that used to access his contact list on the old phone. So he racked up $30 in internet charges just by accidentally pushing the wrong button looking for his contact list! We called Verizon and they blocked the feature completely. So now it doesn't matter whether he hits the wrong button--the phone will not connect to the web. The only consequence that has ever had any impact on my difficult child is "returning the favor". IOW--if difficult child used something without the person's permission....that person can go and select ANYTHING that belongs to difficult child and use it for the day (or the weekend or whatever). This seems to bug difficult child to no end and has had an impact on her decision to use somebody else's stuff without asking. difficult child 1 [I]borrowed[/I] a couple phones--let husband and difficult child 2 [I]borrow[/I] something of his. And, if you rack up a bill...you are of course, responsible for paying it back. If you don't have the money? Too bad...you have to work it off. I'm sure there are some chores (real work, not busy stuff) that needs doing at your place. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
