Cellphone for soon to be teen daughter

[momofnerds]

so my dd has a phone since she was 14 (she will be 16 in a month) she has it because we live in the county and well its not like the city and she stays after school alot (she's way too involved lol!)

I would recommend getting a no data phone, with unlimited incoming and outgoing calls. Telus has it for 35 dollars. We bought a phone thru walmart for under a 100 dollars and she is not under a contract so we can cancel anytime or change plans if we have too.

really, every place does have wifi so she wouldn't need data, even schools now have it. My other 3 kids have ipods that they use. In september my second dd will be in grade 9 and will have to share the phone with her sister, but this is where I may acually upgrade theirs but they have to share.

and really without data your dd can't accept pics so this is really really good. Now I know she will want data, but you need to ask her why she would want it kwim.
