Someone recently asked how do you know when to upgrade your phone?
For me, I was happy with my Motorola RAZR until my son sent me a text and I couldn’t reply. Okay, I could reply, just not in a timely manner. I found texting confusing without a key board and I don’t need any more confusion in my life. I realized if I wanted to keep in touch with him I was going to have to learn to text. So I upgraded to the Palm® Centro just for the key board. In just a short day or two, I learned how to send and receive text messages. It’s so easy. I love it!

In my last blog post, Michelle asked “At what age is it appropriate to give kids a cellular phone? I do not feel comfortable with my 10 and 12 year olds having a cell phone.”
That’s a great question, Michelle!
Personally, I don’t think there is a “cookie cutter” answer to when we should give kids wireless phones. I think all kids are different and, as moms, we know our kids best. I know for myself, I wouldn’t give each of my boys devices at the same age. Having said that, it sounds like your kids are in the “tween” stage. I think having a device would be beneficial and I would highly recommend AT&T Smart Limits for Wireless™ feature. It will allow you to put the restrictions on where you see fit to make you feel comfortable and safe with them having a device, while allowing them some freedom and responsibility. You can limit how much they use it and when. It’s a great feature! Here’s a link to learn more.
Hope you find this information helpful! Let’s continue chatting …
