Answer 1

To be honest with you there is no way to prove to your mother that you are responsible enough ti have a cell phone. She said that on purpose because deep down inside she's angry that you brought the bill up so high. Until you get a job and can pay your own bills then you will get your cell phone back. But usually all mothers say that when there angry and end up giving you back a phone anyway. Cause hse's going to want to track your every movements.

Answer 2

Get a job and pay the bill yourself. Then maybe you won't rack up a $707 bill.

Answer 3

Pay the bill yourself!

Answer 4

just go without it for a few weeks of months, do some extra chores, chip in at least a little bit of money to go towards the bill..

Answer 5

Ask her if you can start doing chores to earn "credit" from her towards the bill.  If she'd be willing to pay you for the chores that you did and she knew that you were working hard to earn the money for the bill, then she will see that you are being responsible.

Answer 6

you should clean the house one day when she is not home and then when she gets home she will be really shocked and think you are really responsible.

Answer 7

pay the bill and be responsible, how do you go over on a plan that costs $111 you can get an unlimited everything plan for cheaper (unless it is a family plan)

Answer 8

just do little chores around the house.....and when she tells or asks you to do something for her do it right then..........always keep your room clean...and dont talk back to her.........get good grades in school n stuff like tht................

Answer 9

1. pay her the money you owe her.  

2. Get unlimited text messaging so you won't have such a huge bill next time.  

3. Idk, do some chores around the house, and get involved in after school activities.  Trust me, it works wonders.  

That sucks that ur phone got taken away, and I know you don't want to hear this, but it may have been a good thing.  It sounds like you are hopelessly addicted to it.  

Answer 10

don't do anything wrong earn money get a job

Answer 11

go on pay as you go- set yourself a limit of say $50 a month and stick to it. pay it yourself- gradually each month reduce your limit by say $5- after six months show your mom how much you've reduced by.

*buy the pay as you go phone yourself- you can get some pretty cheap ones and they still to the basics- after the 6 months you can get your nicer phone back!

Answer 12

You should do some work to try and pay some of it that would make me wanna give it back. lol imean what did you do with the phone sweet heart that is high

Answer 13

somehow start paying her back for your over usage.  Then when you get it back, stay within your limits.  I would have taken my kids away too!

Answer 14

telling ur mom wat u did wrond and start working extra around ur house like yard work dishes or if  already do that work alot harder haha thats wat i do when my stuff gets token away  

Answer 15

Do all the chores she asks, and show that your responsible with other stuff.

Like keeping your room clean, and knowing where everything is.

I have the same issue, but only with texting, and i was starting to show my mom that i'm responsible, and she got me a new phone. (:

and than i lost my retainer, but im still regaining her trust in me being responsible. (:

Maybe you could do a few extra stuff, like help your mom with laundry (if you dont already), maybe cook dinner, stuff like that. (:

Answer 16

1. Find a job.

2. Pay your mom back the money she is going to have to pay for your phone bill.

DONE!

Answer 17

do chores around the house with out her telling you.

just do what you think shoudl be done with out being told

Answer 18

Offer to help pay for it. the same thing happened to me but my bill was 1,050.00. Lol I was lucky and mine didn't get shut off. You should try calling the company and tell them your problem. They lowered my bill to the normal price. They might do it for you if you tell them there was a mistake.

Answer 19

lol 707.58???? :0

Did you assume you had unlimited data or something? Well, ask her if you can get an unlimited data plan. It will actually end up cheaper for you and will be a better value, then you can use the internet on the phone as much as you want. (I'm assuming you did not talk up a 707.58 bill). If it was just internet, then ask her that. If you actually did talk up a $700 bill, then she's right for taking the phone away from you.
