Hello rich and clueless OP,

It must be so nice to be you, and not have to worry about money and whether your children will lose so many hundreds of dollars worth of phone.

Sincerely, the common man.

Does common man = stupid as well?  You can get a very cheap Android based smart phone for less than @$100. Super cheap if you buy one used.  Then you just use a pay as you go service.

I agree.  $100 is still a lot of money for us.  Living within our means and differentiating between a 'want' and a 'need' = smart.[/quote]

Android phone plus 90 days of service - $59 - http://www.hsn.com/products/lg-lucky-android-tracfone-600-min-texts-data-and-case/8033624

Refills are as low as $10 a month.

Cheap smartphones do exist.  [/quote]

I am the first PP you quoted, and I completely understand I can get something less expensive. But DS would still lose it. And the quality wouldn't be great. 
So my preference is to hold off until he's a little more responsible, then buy him something that's reasonably good quality.
