just need to convince her!
I really want a sidekick 3 so badly. I mean i'm 13 and i'm willing to pay every penny for it and even the bill which would be 50 dollars a month. My mom is basically not letting me get it because of the 2 year contract. She doesn't believe I will have 50 dollars every month to pay it. Well I have a mothers helper job and the lady calls me AT LEAST once a week and I get paid 6 dollars and hour. Also I work there anywhere from 2-4 hours. She's like well you don't have a JOB. I'm like well you need a real job to pay water, electric bills and mortages and taxes every month, not a little cell phone bill. Please don't say I might go over my minutes cause I just won't. Is there ANY ANY way I can show my parents I WILL have 50 dollars a month to pay it for 2 years. oh yeah please please don't say wait a month and see if you have made 50 bucks.

Save up your money and then show her be like mom this is what I have saved up so far,& however much money you have let's say it's 80, say I have enough for the first month& half of the second.
Or provider her with a bunch of information on the sidekick or a pay-as-you-go plan so she know's you're serious about this.

Maybe you can search online and find a pay-as-you-go phone. Then, you can explain to your mom that even if you didnt have money that month then you just wouldn't buy minutes and it would be no big deal. They have no contracts and you determine what your bill will be depending on how many minutes you need. Hope i helped!!

To be completely honest I think I may have to agree with your mom. :[
The helper job you do, although makes you money, is not a guaranteed income. In a years time she may not even need you anymore and you'd still be too young to get a proper job in which case it would then fall onto your mom to pay the bill (I'm assuming). Also, I know you said you wouldn't go over the free time you have but everyone says that - seriously. And sometimes it DOES happen. Even when you might not want it to I can guarantee over that 2 year period you will go over your allowence of free time.
I think your mom is just concerned that if you fail to manage to pay the bills then it will fall onto her to pay it (which is something they may not need added onto the bills they already pay). One thing you might try is to see if there's a different cell phone package you can get. One that might offer a cheaper monthly rate or one that has a contract that isn't so long (2 year contract is a very long contract - here in the UK the longest I've seen are year and a half contracts).
Hopefully you'll be able to work something out with your mom. I think your best bet though is to see if you can find a shorter contract. That way your mom may feel more at ease about getting you the phone. The fact it was a 2 year contract may have been one of the things that put your mom off the idea simply becuase the work you do isn't secure enough to last the length of the cell phone contract.

Do you have a good amount of money right now? Set aside a hundred and fifty dollars in a bank account or at least a hidden place in your room. Keep it there and show that you won't spend it. Tell her that that money is reserved for if you EVER can't make the fifty dollars. You might need to go like, half a month to show that you won't spend it.
