I am not a big cell phone person. I could really care less about what company we use or don't use and I have no loyalty to one company over another, BUT....T-Mobile has this awesome plan! It is call the family allowance. It allows one person to be the "key holder" if you will. In my family that is ME! I have total control. I can turn a persons phone on or off. I can limit how many minutes they can or can't have, and I can control the Text Messages! Yes Moms, that's right! I can give out or take away as I see fit. This past week I had problems with 2 of my girls, sad to say they pushed harder than they should have and lost total use of their cell phones until I decided when to turn them back on. Once I did (after 3 whole days, a month in a teenagers life) it was with the condition that they will have their phones shut off every night from 9 pm to 9 am. Those girls were never so happy to agree to one of my conditions before in their lives.
No more empty threats, no more warning after warning. Don't push your luck with this mom or you might just find your cell phone shut off! LOL I love T-Mobile!

That sounds like a great plan. Hopefully they will still have it available when Kelsey gets a phone. I will however pass this onto a few friends of mine who do have pre-teens and have had problems with their phone usage. For instance....I get text messages and prank calls from their kids at 11pm once in awhile. It's great! LOL
