[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 753273, member: 22877"] My son's phone was cut off due to nonpayment but he has a text and talk app (or whatever it's called) where he can make calls and send texts via wifi. It's free but not the most reliable service. Not horrible, but it does have connection issues, breaking up, weak signal, etc., on occasion. But he's able to stay in communication with his friends, his job, and me. He's on short term disability while he's in detox so still has a job to go back to once he's discharged. And at some point he'll be able to get his "real" phone reconnected. Something to consider. You could talk to your son about trying the app and if it works for him like it does for my son that's one more expense you can take off your list. Not only that, but it would be *his*, something that you couldn't theoretically take away if he didn't play by your rules. (Not saying you would or wouldn't do that). But I think their ownership of all or some areas of their lives gives them a sense of accomplishment. [/QUOTE]
