How do i convince my mom to let me get the Sidekick Unlimited plan?

Question

So now I got my mom to agree to get the phone for my birthday (yay!!!) but i asked for the internet, she disagrees with it. I'm upset because there is no point of the phone without the Sidekick Unlimited plan. She said if you found a way to convince me I will agree. She says I have a laptop what will i need the internet for. I said its for unlimited texting, picture messaging, emailing, web browsing, IM messaging. I said i simply wanted it and she said you have the laptop you dont need the SK Unlimited plan. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

sure you need to convince her you're responsible .. that you might need it on an emergency when u dont have your laptop , you can say its for her benefit too because that way u'll contact her and text her more often

Answer 2

Of course what you want is the most expensive part. Texting & internet plans usually end up being the most expensive part of a cellphone bill.

If you are the one actually paying for everything then there's nothing to convince your mom about since it will be no skin off her nose. But I have a feeling that no matter how you paint it, she is going to end up paying astronomical phone bills each month & you & her are going to be arguing about this all of the time.

But you probably don't care much about any of that since you only care about getting this phone so you can burn up your mom's hard earned money by texting endlessly on your worthless little toy.

Get a job and pay for it yourself.
