Well i didnt get one till i was 15 well a month before i was anyways. it was a welcome home present actually. But what you are saying sounds pretti fair to me. I think i convinced my rents w/the line "Well wouldnt it be nice to get ahold of me if i was out w/friends at the mall or hanging outside.. or just riding bike? I dont think i should always have moms cell because she may need it.. so just think on it.. k?" lol i said that.. i think that actually helped me.. try that-trix (plz rate) happy new years

You should get a virgin mobile phone. They have some good ones for under a $100. The cheapest phone card is $20. Virgin mobile is pretty cool, you have free roaming and can recieve free text messages. You could buy the phone card and the phone. but just make sure you put at least $20 on the phone every 3 months.
Mad Love,

put 100$ down on an actual cell phone plan with cingular or something theyll give you the phone for free and the 100 should give you 3 months or so of a smaller plan. other than that there really isnt much else you can do

yes, when you are at that age you do need a cell phone, because you start goin out with friends, and need to get ahold of your family. I also think it is a good deal wiht your parents if they buy the phone and you pay for the minutes! I think it is almost =. Hope you get your phone!!

well it doesnt matter that you saved up for the fone ...the minutes will wind up costing you more than the fone over time so what i would do is save up more money so you can but your minutes with the fone...

<basefont color=black>Why dont you want a plan? A plan is actually better than calling cards because with a plan you don thave to worry about your card running out of minutes and its way better. If I were you i would let your parents get you a plan. You can find the plan that fits and find out all the information and print it all out and show your parents the costs monthly and the phone costs. Their more likely to give in if your organized and they know exactly what theyd be paying for.</font>

I think that is totally fair! Sit down with them and explain all the reasons why you need one! tell them that you will even pay for the minutes and that you will even try to pay them back! (if you want) that's how i got my phone! GOOD LUCK! let me know how it goes! Know*It*All
