[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 443050, member: 1233"] Linda, look into kajeet.com - they make the most parental controls for any plan. It would help ease him into the world of cell phones slower than many plans. Otherwise, depending on what you want to offer, the basic $10 tracfone is fine for calls but AWFUL for texts (I was trying to use the word catch and the ONLY thing it would enter was a C word that I absolutely will NOT say - 4 letter c word, you can guess I am sure. I spent TEN MINUTES trying to find a away to put that word in and NOT the word the predictive algorithm wanted it to be and could not do it). The lgQWERTY model by tracfone is VERY nice and just $29.99. texts cost 1/2 minute to send and 1/2 minute to read. Internet costs minutes also, no way to NOT have internet on a phone now. husband just got the touch screen model on net10, the lg800. It is really nice also. Tracfone gives double minutes for life with most of their phones but net10 does not. Kajeet may be more expensive, but they have the best gps features (parents can activate the gps on a plan or for about $1 each time) and parental controls of any company on the market today. Virgin Mobile has a phone that is $25 for unlimited text, talk, and internet but the phones are costly. Other companies are quite expensive comparatively to tracfone and net10. I just did a bunch of research and this was what I learned, so maybe it will save you some time and effort. [/QUOTE]
