[QUOTE="buddy, post: 573488, member: 12886"] I got a no contract phone but it has no internet. He can text but there is only a number key board and he struggles to use it at all for messages also, he is such a hoarder he doesn't delete anything. He is too into the number of minutes and running out and not at the level of being able to contact anyone yet since he doesn't have internet it is no biggie. BUT if he ever is ready for the real world type of internet phone (which I wlll do because I'd rather he learn with me) I will do as my sisters do and others here. He will contribute an amount per month and it will be a family plan so I have the parental controls, can track where he is and even if he deletes messages I will have the plan that saves them. If a child has never broken trust and is not a difficult child they still may sneak etc....but it is such a different thing with a difficult child who has such poor judgement etc. I have a no contract, unlimited everything phone myself. Yes everything is unlimited until the end of the month. I pay the same each month. data speeds slow after a certain time but never stop. I will switch to a contract family plan if Q shows he is ready for that next year. For now the little trac phone and three months worth of minutes cards seem to be working out. Good luck, if she already is showing that she contacts others this will only get worse I would think. She might get very good at deleting every message so you will never know. [/QUOTE]
