[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 243537, member: 2287"] My difficult child is doing really well with his cell (uh-oh, hope I won't be sorry I said that!). When he first got it he was ordering ringtones, I called ATT and had it stopped. Then he was looking at his email, so I called and stopped the internet. If he wants and earns a new ringtone, I call ATT, they release the hold while he orders, then I call and put the hold back on it. He's surprised me with how responsible he is with it. BUT I think for him it's like a lifeline.....his connection to ME (unlimited mobile to mobile) because he'll even call me from the front yard. Periodically I check him online on the ATT site to see all numbers coming in and going out, along with all texts. He takes really good care of it and I think for him it's like a baby blanket.....security. I've had to take it away one time and that's all it took for him to realize it's a privilege, not a right. Lucky me, so far. [/QUOTE]
