For his 13th birthday, he wants...

I think my difficult child would keep his ph on at all times. It would be a good way to get a hold of him.
If he had internet, he'd play games all the time. Maybe a bit of porn, but his main addiction is games.
I agree, prepaid min are a good economic training tool. He already complains that he won't be able to pay it, since he doesn't have a job like his sister does, but if he can rake people's yards, babysit, do chores, etc. he can come up with-the money.
I will talk to husband tonight and see what we come up with.

No diapers, no diapers, no diapers ...

He did say, "Dad and T go to Honduras for Orphan Helpers, so you could bring back someone closer to my age, right?"

Aaararrrrrrrggggh!

And with the prepaid, the parent can't know what is doone with the phone.

Actually, with the AT&T GO phone, you still have an account with AT&T that can be accessed online. You can see what calls were made, what text numbers were used, etc. Can't see the text, but at least you can see where and when the calls/texts are going to.

So....what are you going to give him?

Terry, your T-mobile is still offering those plans? My T-mobile is going to TWO plans only! One is called the Even More Now plan and the other is the Even More Now Plus plan. They are both unlimited plans. With the Plus plans you can choose Talk, Talk and Text, or Talk, Text and Web. With the just Now plan its just Talk but you can add the other services for a "price". I think. The PLUS plan is not a contract plan so you have to pay for your phone outright but the monthly fee is slightly lower. Dumb if you ask me.

I am leaving Tmobile because I have had it with them. 6 year loyal customer and I am walking and leaving them with a hefty bill. Too bad so sad. They have jerked me around and talked nasty to me. Bite me.

So sorry about your TMobile issues, Janet. Wow.
I'll check both TMobile and AT&T.
His birthday isn't until Dec. 10.
