I want a cell phone
I'm around 13 and I REALLLLYYYY want a cell phone!!!! So I am willing to pay for it all, I have my eye on a lg neon 2, I found a good fido plan for 100 min, unlimited texting, unlimited weekends and evenings for 25 dollars a month! My parents are still against it and I need advice? Also, I don't go out or anything, but I DO go out for lunch at school (off school property) thank you in advance!!!!!!

Don't pay for your own phone. I learned the hard way how much it cost. unless youre making a good hard salary haha, don't try it. And plus, phone are just like house phones. R

I dont think you should get a phone with minutes even though txting is unlimited. I never liked minute phones. They were always a pain. If you are set on getting a phone look for one with unlimited calling as well. Try to convince your parents that you will use it properly and not screw up with it.

There are good reasons for and against anyone having cell phones. There are more reasons for younger people, people your age not to have a cell phone then to have a cell phone.
I know, not the answer you want to hear. What you see is some, probably not all of your friends have cell phones and you want one too. My mother would tell you; "if Billy jumps off the Brooklyn bridge does that mean you have too."
I'm much older than you and a parent/grandparent as well. It is not easy for us as parents to say no when we see our children wanting something their friends have. We have our reasons for saying no and while they may not always be monetary reasons they are just as valid. Parents are not being mean by saying no and they do not really have to give you a reason. There is something about you and a cell phone that bothers them. Until they can justify you having a cell phone they are not going to allow you to have one. Remember they are the ones that are ultimately responsible for the contract with the carrier as you are to young to sign a binding agreement.
I'm sure when they see a better need other than just because your friends have one, they will allow you to have a cell phone. Until then the more you pester them the longer they will say no.
I know this is not the answer you are looking for. I thought you might like to have an adults point of view to weigh against the others.

I got a phone when I turned 16 so my parents could keep track of me while I was driving and all.
Remind them that the phone isn't just for you to communicate with your friends, but it is also helpful when they are looking for you. Also, we live in a world where almost everyone has a cell phone and they always come in handy when you are not home. I know its tricky, and my advice isn't that great because you have already done almost everything, but hopefully this helps!
