My teen doesn't have a cell phone.

What's your excuse, OP?[/quote]

Humm...ok, so your point is what?  How sad if they have an emergency they cannot contact you or someone for help.[/quote]

HAHAHA  that is how bad parents just giving their kids a cell phone. generations and generations of kids survived without cell phones.[/quote]

We also had access to lots of pay phones.[/quote]

Lame. There was no pay phones at parks, neighborhoods, and athletic fields. That is where most kids are. Also, anywhere there was a pay phone also has free land lines you can ask to use. Oh and every living human adult has a pay phone you can ask to borrow. [/quote]

I call BS!   There were payphones EVERYWHERE when I was growing up (in the 70s).     They looked like this:

And there'd be one at least at every park and field.  If the field was at a school, there was a row of phone booths right outside the school.    There were phone booths outside of any storefront, and certainly there would be one at the gas station if you really needed one to walk that far.   They were as common as soda machines are now.[/quote]

I lived in the suburbs. There were no payphone booths in my neighborhoods. None at the playgrounds, and not at the ball field that was in the back of the development. It did have a phone you could use IF the snack bar was open as the land line was inside of it. The closest pay phone was about 1.5 miles from my house at the community pool. And I would still use the phone in the lifeguard office so I could buy 10 Swedish fish at the pool snack bar instead of calling my mom. I rode to and from that pool with friends every day. No parents needed. That’s what lifeguards are for.  LOL. Good times. I would hate to be a kid today. [/quote]
