Question

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Detail.aspx?device=a789b0b5-f7bd-452b-b094-63de4a74ce3d

Its for my eleven year old - do you think she'll like it? She's a huge tomboy... So the colour was a good choice, but otherwise, what do you think?

Answer 1

Yes, well I like it and I'm a tom-boy! :-)

Answer 2

Are you adding the phone to your existing T-Mobile account?

If so yes, that model is a good choice for a phone for her. Tomboy or not.. Actually, regardless of whether you are adding this phone to an existing account or not, for an 11 yr old,  I'd recommend a Prepaid service like Virgin Mobile, at&t Go Phone, Tracphone, etc. That way she can learn responsibilty since she has to manage the amount of minutes on the phone. And Virgin Mobile is geared toward the younger generations & has a lot of age related themes. If in the US you can check Virgin Mobile out @ www.virginmobileusa.com. (If anyone is wondering,  yes, I used to work from home as a CSR for Virgin Mobile & also Cingular before at&t took over)

That being said, if anyone has any cell phone questions/technical/etc, email me & I'll be glad to assist. I no longer work for any cell phone companies so you will not get any sales pressure to go with any one company or a specific model phone. ( I apologize for making my answer sound like a sales pitch, but this internet community is about helping others & I have done that for most of my adult life //see profile//)

Answer 3

It's not the most up to date phone out there.... (like the slider phones, blackberrys etc.) but it's a nice phone and she's 11...so she doesn't need much. Since when do 11 year olds get cell phones anywas?

Answer 4

yes it is a good chioce she will like it

Answer 5

Yeah, and its cheep so it won't be like a really expensive so she won't be getting called spoiled at stuff like that.

Answer 6

yes exept change the pink to black id she is a tomb boy

Answer 7

ya but if i got it i would be dissapointed its a little boring  i'd get her a better phone then that(trust me im 11)

Answer 8

its a great phone i have it in purple and love it im 30 too

Answer 9

YES! I am 11 and have that exact same Phone, except mine is black. She'll love it. And I am a girl too. Ya, she will definelty love it. I love mine. It is awesome.

Answer 10

kids should NOT have a contract phone. period, if you feel she really needs a cell phone, tracfone has alot of decent phones now, even with net and ringtones, and everything that contract phones have, and no bill, she can only spend what you put on it and no more.

Answer 11

Um, yeah, sure. It's a good phone for an 11-year old because it's nothing too fancy. It's a good starter phone. And the color is cool, so I think that you're all set. =)

Answer 12

Yes. Hey, its free!

If I had an eleven year old I would probably get one of those phones for kids or a prepaid, unless she is really trustworthy. I would call everybody if I had a cell phone at eleven.

Answer 13

I asked my 11 yr old girl what she thought...she said yup...cool phone! So you picked a good one Dad!
