Answer 4

If your only 12,

Forget it ,you are still a little chid

Answer 5

get an old phone of your friends and tell her you got the phone free and all it needs is a contract

Answer 6

You don't convince them. If they said no, it means no. You don't NEED a cell phone, you want one.

Answer 7

You don't NEED a cell phone.  You are only 12.

You wouldn't be able to pay for it.  So your parents would end up footing the bill.

Your parents are not a bank.....they shouldn't have to get you something just because you want it.

Answer 8

If you just want positive answers why are you posting here then?  You don't need a cell phone, if you really want one bad enough I suggest you purchase your own phone and plan.  If you can't well that pretty much proves that you don't need one.  

Answer 9

Well since your twelve you're either in middle school or are going to be in middle school and what I did was I told my parents that since I was in middle school I might be in more extra stuff so if something came up I might have to call them and have them pick me up..so yeah that's what I did.

If your parents don't want you to get a phone, don't push them too much, sooner or later, you'll end up getting one.

Answer 10

Well, it helps if it is in conjuction with your birthday or Christmas.  It makes it hard to say no.  There is another option.  You can get the disposable cell phone, and when you are out of minutes, you either buy a card yourself or throw it away.  The disposable cell phones at Walmart are $9.99

Answer 11

10 years ago nobody was worry of owning a cell phone:only business people and very busy professionals, now days children are whining for a cell phone..i don't get it

Answer 12

Well you can tell them about these phones that you they could control how long and who you talk to

Answer 13

Unless you are out with friends, you can borrow your parents while you are gone, otherwise you don't "really" need one until you have a job & can pay for it yourself. Sorry.
