Why don't you just buy a cheap pay-as-you-go phone? It's not very expensive.

Do you take part in any sports or go out a lot? If you do and have no way to get ahold of them, this might be a good argument to bring up when asking for a cell phone.

Also keep in mind that if you're whining and yelling and complaining about it, they're going to be less likely to buy it for you. If you're calm and mature while asking, they may hear you out.

You should always remember that a cell phone is a privilege, not a right so remember that if you go overboard, it can be taken away. You don't need a cell phone.

Well depending on your age. Do you go out wih your friends a lot? Do you walk home from school. Honestly. If i could afford it my 6 year old would have a cell phone with the way the schools are now a days. Tell them about that shooting that just happened in Flordia. (i think it was flordia) and that shooting snday in Cali.tell them when your out you would like to be able to get ahold of them. things like that.show them your responisble. youll do more around the house keep your grades up.

Okay, make your parents want you to have one. Like for instance start going out a lot. Don't try to contact them at all for a few hours. Then use a friends phone, and tell them you had a hard time getting a hold of them because you had no way to. Just do that a lot. That's what I did, then my parents got sick of it and decided to get me a phone so they could keep better track of me.
