He does use it to contact friends, but he's not a 'chatter', so we've had no issues with it. YET. My daughter, who is about to turn 9, will no doubt be a different kettle of fish ... So I will save your advice for that day!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536212906241844509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494416304107404915.post-90615196015656776542009-09-09T22:54:40.835-06:002009-09-09T22:54:40.835-06:00FFF: Well, I'm trying not to be frightened bu...FFF: Well, I'm trying not to be frightened but to meet this technology straight on! <br /><br />Thanks, Bonnie. <br /><br />FS, Not SM and Cher: Good ideas...thank you!<br /><br />Judith: Right, the acronyms are just too much.<br /><br />Lakeviewer: I appreciate your thoughts, being an educator.

I did tell her my car is a "cell free zone", when I pick her up I expect to talk to her not listen to half of a conversation with someone else.<br /><br />DarlaDarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729017606957829830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494416304107404915.post-45541559238833218612009-09-09T12:14:27.971-06:002009-09-09T12:14:27.971-06:00Yikes.

If she doesn't reply to my calls it is confiscated. It does get taken off her when she's get grounded too. She's actually very sensible with it, and texts me to let me know where she is.<br /><br />Good luck!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124374747737466986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494416304107404915.post-82758300800457106932009-09-09T05:56:33.616-06:002009-09-09T05:56:33.616-06:00We did the pay for minutes type too.

It taught them valuable skills.
