[quote=Anonymous]OP here. My DD is asking for one for her 13th bday, which is in three months. If she gets one, it will be DH's old IPhone 4, and will add nothing to our monthly bill, since we already pay for it as an "travel and emergency phone" that we give to the kids when they are away for a weekend with a friend's family, etc., and need a reliable way to stay in touch. She wants a phone because yes, most of her classmates now have one and she feels left out, as the other kids organize social events and chat by phone. She has no IPad, no IPod touch, no computer and we have no TV. I guess this discussion is making me more inclined to let her have the phone, subject to the rules she has proposed. I'm still interested in recommendations of parental control apps, though. I trust her not to initiate anything inappropriate, but I don't trust all her friends to the same degree.....[/quote]
