again, I
concur.
The schools here do
not allow pagers and cells. Too much drug dealing going on during school
hours.

Yes, I know all of those arguments. I also know that when
I was a teenager
my mother was able to keep very close tabs on me without
me having a cell
phone. I watch the kids coming out of Brianna's
middle school, and 90% of
them have a cell phone and a pager. It's
ridiculous.
You better check the prepaid very carefully. Many of
those prepaid plans
actually end up being more expensive than a monthly
plan. Because the way
the work in our region is if you don't use all
the minutes in the month you
lose them, and have to buy a new card to keep
the number active.
I can add a third line to our package for $19
(some carriers are even
offering them for $9.99). Verizon (our
carrier) also lets you restrict the
calls to a certain number (for example
calls could only go to my handset or
911). But still, I just don't
see the need for it. When she goes somewhere
that she might need it,
she can borrow one of ours. But I just can't see a
kid having a cell
phone just to talk on. It's foolish in my opinion.

This one is a prepaid cell
phone....it could actually come in handy with me
working or being at
school. Kinda like Monday, my brother picked them up
from school and was
supposed to pick me up and take me to work and they were
running late. If
she had the phone I could have called to make sure they
were ok. Not to
mention, she will be "paying" for the time herself by doing
chores around
the house. If the chores aren't done, she doesn't get the
card. Also if her
grades slip, the phone comes to me.

Mine
has mentioned a cell phone, but that's not happening. I don't
think
children need a cell phone.

I don't even know what the
hot holiday items are this year. My son asked for
games for his PS2 and my
daughter asked for a cell phone.
