Answer 1

tell them you may need it incase of an emergency or whatever.

and they can text you to see where u are at in stuff.

thats what i would say.

Answer 2

Just tell them that you're about to go out ALOT more. and i would take what you get. dont push for a popular phone. like an iphone!!! heck, if your parents not going to let you have a phone then they deffintly wont let you have an iphone. just get a razor!!!

Answer 3

The new iphone is awesome.  From the WIFI to the terrific apps that are available for it.  I love it.  There is a certain website that I visit when I want the latest news on the iphone, hacks, applications, games, reviews, jailbreaking, unlocking, firmware, themes, wallpapers or anything else iphone related.  You can visit that site here:  http://www.easy-link.org/ZfHkCNBVSe

Well, you could try to get them to get you a prepaid phone. That way you could only talk for a certain amount of minutes and when you used them all your phone just wouldn't work anymore. That way they wouldn't have to pay expensive overage fees. Also, you could explain to them that it is important for you to have a way to contact them at all times in case of an emergency. If you have a cell phone they can always talk to you or find you wherever you are at.

I don't know what reason to give your parents but you can try negotiating with them.  T-mobile has the best deals on phones and plans.  You can get a plan with 600 minutes, unlimited texting, and you get unlimited minutes after 7 p.m. and on weekends.  That way, you can't go over your text messages and you can try to talk at night when you will have unlimited minutes.  Or you can get my faves and get unlimited minutes and messaging to your top five friends or family.  The monthly bill will be around  $70-80 and you can get a sidekick or a dash and you wont have to worry about going over on anything.
