Erm....I don't get it. Didn't he pay for the phone when he bought it?
Am I correct in saying that they've BANNED him from the Free home Phone, and have basically said: "hey you got your own phone, now you gotta pay for the minutes and use only it."
Actually, I agree with your parents: Really Why should <18 yo need a cell phone? I'm not even completely convinced I need a cell phone. In fact, I'm relatively sure that having a cell phone has made me LESS happy than I was before I had one, and until someone calls me to say I've won the lottery, and have only 24 hours to claim $1,000,000.00, I'll continue to believe this.
