I am a 12 year old girl and i think you should get your daughter a phone. Maybe a simple slide if she wants to text, Basic phones kinda suck. So get her a cheap Virgin mobile slide for like 40 bucks and unlimited web, text and 300 min for 25 bucks a month. pretty good deal.
I am 13 and i agree with you! Maybe get AA older model of a popular phone, such as the iPhone 3GS wich is free on a 3 yr contract. Teens need to socialize :D lol
I am a mother of 3 12 year old girl triplets. They like to go swimming alot and need to contact me when they want to go swimming. They need to keep in touch with friends and one of them has a boyfriend whom she texts. I tell them they can only send 200 text messages a month so they are VERY limited. I myself, send around 450 a month and it does me well. So yes, they should.
I believe that they should have cell phones because they need to contact you. If your child is lost somewhere they need to contact you somehow. Or if your a child playing outside but your parents don't know were you are or where your going with your friends. They should have a cell phones so they can contact their parents. but first they have to aSK SO tHEy can have one yes they can have one so there good!
