My little sister sent 1,300 text messages last month. :rolleyes: Congrats for winning the marketing gimmic award.

How many minutes do your girls use up?

my daughter did as bad, she took a buttload of pictures and sent them via email to herself, that was a 200.00+ bill!
i took a hammer and nail to the lens on her phone so no more pics!!
she's a bit upset with me... :pityparty:
too bad.
i re-explained the phone I GAVE HER to use as a means of VERBAL
communication, not for her personal amusement or entertainment. thats what the internet is for! at least thats a flat rate!
and no i wont get a pix/txt plan, 4 cell phones in the family is enough!

i wont even bring up the "Get It Now" era.... i had verizon turn off that feature right quick!

LOL! I like your style :D
I could almost imagine the expression on her face as you drive that nail :D

At first, I had a 500msg text plan for $5. I figured, why would anyone need to send more than that? Then the bill comes for $100 for 1,300 messages :mad: She is going to pay it herself, but you know that's not the damn point. She alrleady heard my voice on it :D FYI, unlimited text, at least for Sprint, is only $15 just in case you consider it.

Man, these kids will have arthritic thumbs by mid 20's.

Well I have a funny one to add. A couple of months ago, I got my better 1/2 a mobly. And at age 26, she is no more resistant to the text urge than the teenagers described here lmao. She had always maintained that if she had a phone she wouldn't use it much.. so we got her one on a very inexpensive pre-paid plan. But she lives on the thing and now we can't find a pre-paid plan extensive enough for her use lol.

agggghhh my second born DaniHELL bless her little heart seems to be able to text on her mobile while talking on the house phone and still manages to watch TV and complain that being 16 that she should be allowed to stay out later like her friends :rolleyes: ...
