nothing wrong with this as long as he's paying for it.

do you guys know what country have the highest cellphone per person ratio? hint, it's more than one phone per person.

Iceland.
 
I had one when I was 14 or 15. I had a T27 or T50 or something like that. Old skool Ericsson mobile phone. Pretty bad ass imo. I made the odd call but rarely used it 'a lot' and it was on pay as you go. My dad topped it up for me with £10 but again I didn't didn't use it often.

How does he have his own money? 14 year olds can work in your state?


Allowance and chores. I pay well for extra stuff like babysitting his sister, washing cars, etc.
 
Cool, with boys you shouldnt really have to worry about him using up a lot of minutes... unless he is gay.
I got my cellphone at 13 and since i never used many minutes i was rolled into the family plan the next year.

Oh, and I'm sure he'll be calling girls. He's 14. I lost my virginity at 14. While I don't want that for him just yet, he *is* learning how to play...


This part's the funny part.. What if it was a 14 yr old daughter?

Say the same thing now 🙂

My daughter is only 2. I'll burn that bridge when I come to it...

why on EARTH would a 14 year old need a cell phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO IS HE GOING TO CALL!!!!!!!
you know target sells a cell phone that only has 4 buttons i think, a power button, and 3 buttons to call just 3 different #'s, 1 is home, 1 is a parent, and 1 is 911. It is a pay as you go thing. SO if you let him buy it so he can "call you to let you know when to pick him up from a friends house" etc then you made a mistakeeee
