So my daughter feels she needs a cell phone. And I am tired of saying no, and I guess it would be nice that she actually had one. :rolleyes:
I'm not wanting to get her into a contract phone, I'd rather do a month to month deal. So who out there has the best deal for TCB phone service?
TIA
Gwen does a prepay with Cingular (now AT&T)... fairly cheap. Any of the pay as you types will be inexpensive.
Although you'd probably get a cheaper rate if you bulked the whole house together... and you'd be able to better track who's calling the kid and who she's calling.
also keep in mind the kids now a days are using text messaging a LOT... if you don't get a bundle that includes it... those text messaging fee's add up quick. There is a friend of mine with a teenage son... racked up $400 in text messaging charges one month...
Just something to keep in mind...

I take it your family business hasn't been audited lately... ;)Quote:

Just get the kid a prepaid cell phone plan that doesn't have texting... easy as pie.
I switched over to Virgin Mobile a couple months ago and I am very happy. It uses the sprint network, and I was able to bring my phone number with me. I paid $50 for my phone (they have ones for $20 too), I pay $6.99 a month, and then all calls are 10 cents a minute and text messages are 10 cents as well. You can log into the online website and disable the ability to text.
