[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid there were payphones we could use at all the soccer fields, softball fields, neighborhood clubhouse, school. Obviously they've all disappeared, but they haven't been replaced by anything. Why isn't there some new type of pay phone where kids could text their parents, paying using some sort of code? Old fashioned pay phones would be great too, except most kids don't have change.

My kids are in a lot of activities and many of them don't allow parents to stay. Swimming doesn't allow parents on deck during practices, so either I sit in my car for 1.5 hours or run errands (usually I'm getting my other kids to places). Because of all the rain, a lot of their swimming and other practices have been cancelled last minute after they already started and my kids have no way to contact me. Last time swim was cancelled there were 25 kids or so that were stranded. [b]A bunch of the parents offered to text for the stranded kids. [/b]We aren't ready to give our kids a phone.[/quote]

Seems like you have the solution already in place. [/quote]
