[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 62980"] difficult child has a very old phone. Actually starting to fall apart. He wants a Chocolate. After reading about them...so do I!!! I have been looking at Verizon because they are the only ones I find that have a one year contract vs. two year contract. My easy child has a razor. Hates it. Had it 9 months and had to send it back because it froze up and didn't work at all. Not even when you took the battery out. That was one year ago. It hasn't worked well in about 4 months now. He gets little bits of what you say and has to find a LAN line phone to call you back. Thought it would be under warrantee, as phone had 1 year warrantee, so we foolishly thought when he was sent the new one there would be a one year warantee. NOPE. Contract expires in December and not keeping that phone or the service he has. As for camera phone - everyone has one, some are video camera's. But, difficult child had his taken away many times at school. Atleast in our school district cameras are not allowed on school property. We still send his phone with him, but make sure he doesn't take it out until he is off school property. (after school). You can take pictures, but unless you subscribe to the service and the other person does too, you can't send pictures back and forth. I had to get a text message package for easy child. He had as many as 1300 text's a month. It is usually around 15 cents per text if no package. We also got some internet package since easy child would access the internet to check certain things. With that he is able to send a picture via email to anyone's email address. There are a ton of packages out there. Be careful. They seem to get you someway. Then there is a ton of taxes. And, you can get insurance for about $5 a month. Incase the phone gets lost or stolen. $50 deductable and you get a new phone. OR you end up paying like $200 for a cheap phone. Phones are cheaper when you get a package, or upgrade your contract. To just go buy a phone with no contract they are ridiculiously high. Experience talking here. Many lost phones. Many contacts, upgrades. Tried several different services. Now for myself I am just waiting for contract to expire so I can get a "go" phone and pay by the minutes. I really like the features that the phone...Chocolate has. MP3 player also. [/QUOTE]
