A kid and a cell phone and text messaging? |
I would like to know how a few parents would handle this... My T-Mobile bill came today, we have Our phones, a phone for our 15 year old daughter, and a 1000 minutes shared plan. Well our bill came in a 9 X12 envelope, and was 149 pages long... It also said we owed them $924.51...There was no excess minutes calling used, the bulk of the bill some $840+ was for text messages...mainly INCOMING text messages to my kids phone... some were made by my daughter on the Yahoo Instant Messenger (at school no less) to the kid texting her. We firmly let her know about text messaging and that it charges when you text. I think that she had no idea that it also charges when other people text in, and many of her friends are disrespectful of the fact that we don't want text message plan, as we adults would never use it. My husband had got the phone(s) because he is required to have one for work. We thought our daughter would have been responsible at her age...I guess not. You could block texting on his/her phone, or you could tell your kid he/she has to pay, and see what his/her reaction is. Then tell him/her that if the large amount of texting doesn't stop, she actually WILL have to pay the fee. if she really didn't know that she was racking up such a bill go easy on her, if she knew it was going to be expensive but didn't tell her friends to stop texting then i'd say get her a part time job and make her pay the bill. then don't give the cell back, have her keep the job and pay for her own phone. If you choose to give the phone back, you can call the company and have text messages blocked ( I think, you can for cingular anyway, wouldn't hurt to call and ask though). OMG u sound like my mom. lol I'm 14 and last month our bill came at $892.56 and it was casue i went over texting and my mom didnt take the phone, she took texting off my plan. Now I cant text my friends :( the best way is to get her unlimited texting. |
