How to persuade parents to let me have a phone?

Question

please type the words to say

Answer 1

You need to figure out the exact words to say on your own. Otherwise it's a script and that's not showing that you're responsible enough to think for yourself.

Offer to pay for the cell phone, or at least part of the bill.

Tell your parents (honestly!) who you would be calling/texting with your phone.

Ask them if you can start off with a Tracphone--you buy minutes for those as you go along instead of paying $35 a month.

Ask your parents what is keeping them from letting you get a cell phone and ask if there's anything you can do that will show them that you're responsible enough to have a phone.

If they end up saying no, respect that.

Answer 2

I'm assuming you want a cell phone?.?

Why do you need a phone?

Edit: Why the thumbs down?  I can't tell him what to say as I don't know him personally.  I'm asking him why he personally feels he needs a cell phone....that would be what to say to mom and dad.

Answer 3

When you can pay for it you can most likely get it. I have paid for my own phone since I was seventeen. My parents got me some cheapo plan and came screaming at me because the bill ran up to 300 bucks. I paid it off and told them to cancel the bill and resign me up for an unlimited plan which I would pay for.

If you're like 12 or 13 you dont need an expensive phone. Just ask for some 30 buck a month thing.

Mom, Dad, I think having a phone would be very helpful.

That way you always know where I am, if we split up or if I go hang with my friends.

Mom and Dad, I am old enough to get a job and pay for a phone of my own.
