[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 63006, member: 59"] I agree with a lot of what others have said. My daughter loves her chocolate phone also, she had the mint green one and now has the pink one. They just came out with a newer version so make sure you know which one you are looking at. The new one comes in dark blue, red and black. If you've ever used the older version you will see the newer one has improved on some of the features, like adding a vibrate feedback to let you when a call has been placed and an easier click wheel for navigating. Unlimited text is very important or you can find yourself paying a lot in overages. We have a family plan with 1400 shared minutes, free calling to other mobile phones on the same network (so all of our calls to each other are free and any calls she makes to her friends with the same service). Insurance is a must, especially for teens. I don't have it on mine but both my daughters do. If you don't have insurance and your phone breaks or is lost or stolen you will have to pay full retail price for a new phone and that is anywhere from $200-300. Since this is her first cell phone you can start with a smaller package, say 500 free texts, to teach her responsibility, and increase it to unlimited later. I guarantee you will want unlimited at some point because they use the text feature more than the phone part. I think the Disney phone is great but it's a little juvenile for high schoolers. It's more for preteens. The GPS feature is a great feature and I am considering getting that so I can keep track of my difficult child. It's a great safety feature to have also, but probably not necessary at this point. by the way I always thought and was told that water damage is not covered by insurance. My difficult child dropped her one month old pink chocolate phone in the bathtub and it was covered under insurance. All she had to pay was 50. Nancy [/QUOTE]
