[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 573404, member: 11791"] There's no way we would allow the kids to pay for their own cell phone. That creates way too much "entitlement" attitude... if they are paying for it then they want to set the rules. We figured if we paid for it, we were allowed to set the rules... and the kids have been good about it. The only thing they pay for is if they go over the plan limits. They know we can do a "phone check" at any time. 24/7. We also track traffic on the accounts. (you're sending HOW MANY texts a day?) Ours do not have web enabled - one problem eliminated. Unfortunately, at least around here, "no camera" isn't an option, or we'd have done that too. [/QUOTE]
