Our teens had pay-as-you-go phones for quite a while before I finally added them to our plan. I wanted to see how many minutes they used a month before I just threw them on to our plan and ended up with a $300 phone bill.
Last summer we got each of the boys a cell phone on our plan and we make them pay the extra $10 a month for their lines. When we got the phones we had them put a text message block on their phones. Even at just $0.15 a text, texting can get quite expensive.
After much begging, I finally gave in and removed the block this week. I also added unlimited texting to our family plan. The boys were so excited. I’m pretty sure they have sent at least 100 messages in the last two days.
Tonight I was sitting at my desk, working on a post when my cell phone dinged. I looked over at it and I had a text message. It was from my oldest. Instead of coming downstairs to say good night, he texted us. From his bedroom.
Teenagers. *eye roll*
