What cell (plan) to get for a pre-teen
I know...I know, 11 year old kids don't need a phone, but I'm caving into pressure from the wife and daughter. Besides all the cool kids have one.
Anyway, I thought I'd make everyone happy and use it as a Christmas present. Can anyone tell me the cheapest route to take here? I'm caving in, but I'm gonna be cheap about it! Before any anal thread nazi's blast away at me, I am going to look for myself, but thought I'd ask here first for some direction. Maybe someone knows of a wild deal that's suitable. I guess probably a basic phone would be all that's needed with probably some kind of unlimited text deal. Are pay by the minute cards still around? Would that be a route to take? I have a feeling it's the texting though that she wants more than anything, plus my wife would like that for her as well so they can text whenever after school, etc...whatever...sighhhh. Man, I didn't get my own phone till I got my first place on my own at 19 and the phone had a cord hooked to the wall! Not sure how the hell us kids survived up to that point?!
FWIW I'm on Rogers, and my wife's on Telus if there's a deal to be had there somehow. Thanks in advance.
