My dd text messages all the time. She pays for her phone service which is on our acct. and so does ds. She ended up signing up for a deal a few months ago for 500 texts/mo and then went over by 365 which cost 10 cents each, so she had to pay for those that month. The next month it just happened that both of them were up for new phones and really needed them and dh signed up for unlimited text messaging for the whole family. What a relief!
I'm wondering how many text messages your kids use each month. We just got the bill a week or so ago and it itemizes all calls etc. Her total for the month was over 3000 text messages. I have never seen anyone text like her, I think she can text as fast as I can type.
How many do your kids send per month?

HI,I just read your post and immediatly had to reply. My dd is the queen of texting! Her last month's tally was 7821 text messages!! Yes that is seven THOUSAND!!! I changed her plan so she now has unlimited, that way we don't get a suprise bill of $$$. With the family plan the cost was only an additional $10.00/mo. I use it to stay in touch with her too, it is very convenient. Our family too has restrictions on where and when she can text. Obviously when school starts again she won't be allowed the same amount of freedom. Anyway, thought you would get a kick out this.
Take care,

My daughter LOVES to text. We had to get unlimited because each month we were paying a lot more than the set amount. Its especially worse during the school year when Madison's boyfriend is away at college. When they aren't talking to eachother vocally over the phone they are texting. There are rules for the school year, but it does not really make a difference in the bill because she just gets it all in before.
