We don't have anything in our plan for texting but Travis is a champ at it. Punkie had to get one of those all-inclusive plans when she got Travis his cell phone and believe me, it's been worth it for her. In one month alone, he sent/received over 900 text messages. OMG. He kept trying to send me a text message but I told him that at 10cents for each one, he'd better just call. A funny story, though.......... -- Piggy's Pad

Punkie got on line last month to check her bill when she got her notification that it was ready and her bill had taken a $65 jump. It turns out that Travis was downloading things, checking them out and then deleting them, not realizing that he was still going to get charged for them even though he deleted them to keep his mom from finding out. And what stuff was he downloading????? A Hooter's calendar, for one. She got on the phone immediately with Verizon Customer Service and had him locked out of his phone. All he can do now is call and text. And he has to pay for the extra $65 charge on the bill by doing dusting, window washing and wall washing...........at minimum wage. I was THRILLED that she's teaching him the value of money and that it doesn't grow on trees, especially when you're a single parent!! (NT) -- Sandy, 1:03:34 pm, Sat, 01/26/08
Too many parents today don't want to take the time and effort to discipline their kids and then wonder why they turn out to be disrespectful idiots. (NT) -- Sandy, 1:04:48 pm, Sat, 01/26/08
Good for Punkie!!! Have to smile at Travis though....bet he nearly died when he realized he still got charged even though he deleted the calendar and stuff!!!! **smile**
I agree with you, I give Punkie a world of credit...this way she is really teaching him that there are consequences to our actions.... (NT) -- Kate, 8:37:31 pm, Sat, 01/26/08
We started out with not having the text package on our phones..but with where Rick works, its so much easier for him if I just text him if I need something than to call him so we started doing that (especially when my dad was doing so poorly) so once we figured out that it was easier and more convenient for him I checked into adding the text package to our phones...it has already paid for itself!!
