Just ask her if you can get a new phone.
Offer to pay for it.
-Most cell phone plans renew after 2 years, and when that happens, you get a free phone, or a rebate on a phone that you want. This will make the phone cheaper.
If you don't have that much money, pay half! Or even, as the person below me said, do extra chores around the house --maybe even without your parents asking! I know my mom and dad love that! :)
I had the same problem with my mom- she wouldn't give me texting. Most texting plans are only $5-10 extra, so pay for that.

If you do chores, or anything to make a little bit of your own money, maybe try talking to your Mom and Dad and let them know that you can help to pay some of the cost of getting a new phone. 99% of the time, it works! Give a little, get a little.
As for texting, most plans have text add-ons where you can pay an extra $5-10 a month for a set amount of text messages. Ask your parents if they'll pay for one month of texting, and then you can show them that you're responsible by not going over your limit, that might break the ice a little bit.
Good Luck!
