Answer 1

Too bad.

Answer 2

First show your parents your responsible enough for one.. If they're worried about the bill or  their credit gettin ruined then get a prepaid one.. I have pre paid through alltel..  

Answer 3

Not much you can do until your dad changes his mind. Try to remember that people lived without cell phones *GASP* just fine before.

Show your dad that you are responsible, have a calm conversation with him about the pluses of having one (emergency purposes especially), and be patient. Good luck!

Answer 4

People have survived without cell phones for thousands of years... You will too.  

Answer 5

think of it this way: at your age, your parents didn't have cell phones either.  they had to use a pay-phone.  guess what?  so did i, and i'm only 10 years older than you are!  cell phones aren't so great, because they are expensive as h**l, and the plans are outrageously overpriced.  i would suggest waiting till you're 16 and then find a job.  but you know what, there are better things to spend your money on than a silly phone.

Answer 6

They have good reasoning. When you can make the money it's different.

Their money.

Their rules.  

Answer 7

mabye your just not mature enough for one

i got one at the age of 12

Answer 8

don't mind your friends..you're dad just want the best for you..you wil know the reason later...

Answer 9

Well, I'm a senior and I don't have a cell phone.

Just save up all the money you get or something.

Answer 10

You don't need a cell phone.  I would say that it is unnecessary until you go to college.

Answer 11

wow.... get over it.  

Answer 12

Wow, erm, trying saving up. Then ask your parents soon if you can have one.
