Alright, I just got a pay as you go phone about a year ago. It’s not too bad, but the only problem is…I text a lot. I’m on a plan where I get a limited number of texts (it’s not a small number, but it’s definitely not large) and everyone I know–EVERYONE–has Verizon. So basically, I always go over. Since it’s prepaid, and I usually use up a lot of minutes, we spend about thirty dollars a month on my phone anyway…so is this a good argument to go on to convince my parents to let me get Verizon? They could pay the bill, and I would pay for the texting myself because it’d just be ten dollars. And is there some kind of family plan that could help also if maybe me and one parent joined or something? We’re not exactly short on money, but we’re a bit stingy. Not too much, but my parents say Verizon’s too expensive, while I think it’s actually worth it, considering how much I text.
Any advice would be appreciated (especially from parents with kids who use cell phones a lot, maybe…?) and I’m sorry it’s so long!!
Thanks!
