LOL! He knew how to make the cell phone look like a great idea, didn't he?
I never thought about it that way, LOL!
I'm thinking about TMobile with-pre-pd min and only a 3-10 # capacity. My cousin wants to buy it for him. She has no children. Of course, what he really wants is Internet svc. so I have to make sure that any ph I buy cannot have addt'l svcs added if he coughs up $25 and walks into the store on his own, for an add-on. IOW, I would be the only signer on the acct.
Gotta think ahead.
He has used my ph with-his friends and mostly they text, "Whassup?" "Nothin."
"Eagles won, 20-zip." "So?"
Notice my total evasion of the other option.
We gave our easy child a ph at age 12, but she was WAY more mature.
