A few weeks ago my sister decided that my 8 year old niece (who lives with MY family) needs her own cell phone. I'm not sure if I've ever heard anything so ridiculous. Where do 8 year olds go with their own guardians or a responsible person to supervise them (who probably has thier own cell in case of an emergency!)? The only thing an 8 year old will do with a cell phone is run the minutes down -- especially since it's prepay. I've had prepay and it's insane. PLUS, my sister gave her a camera phone. Oh because she sees so many great things daily that must immediately be shared with others. Oh and that takes away those prepaid minutes. Brilliant. You gotta love those genius people who give a child a cell phone.
