I know we are very archaic -
but we are just now considering getting our dds cellphones for Xmas.,,ages 12 & 9.5.

Was wondering what is recommended by you all -
as far as models &
even companies & plans.

DH & I have been on a Cingular (ATT?) family plan for a long time - I don't know if the best thing would be to just add them on that -
or if we should look at something totally different ---

b/c I feel they are going to need some LIMITS! thanks.

Since you already have a family cell plan, it is probably best to just add them to yours.

For my daughter, we just went to Wal Mart and bought her a Tracfone.

I put my 13 yo on our family plan, we never had any problems with her abusing the phone.

I would add them, it is often cheaper to just add lines!

My twins have a T-Mobile pre-paid. Once a year I add 1000 minutes (for $100) and it lasts them all year.
