Do your kids have cell phones? dd15 has one, the other two do not
If so, how old were they when they got a phone? she was 12 or 13

Do your kids have a texting plan? we have tracfones so she can text but no special plan
Do any of your kids have a data plan (allows them to download apps, do email, surf the internet)? doesn't use it

How did you pick the cell phone your kid uses? price
Is there peer pressure for your kid to have a particular kind of phone? yes

Have you used or ever considered using one of those tracking programs like on Verizon Chaperone to track where your kid is? no

Most Importantly - what kind of phone is your kid using right now? tracfone - motorola - don't know the model

We have a little debate going on about mostly teens and cell phones in our group, and I seem to be the odd woman out in the discussion.

Help!
