My kids’ phones are capped at the vendor, no extraneous charges, anything that’s billable is blocked, period. No accidents, no oversights, no ridiculous ringtone expenses. I also have content filtering and parental controls. Costs me $5 a month for this power, I view it as an insurance premium. I have absolute cost certainty.
I won’t name the provider but the first letter is the 22nd letter of the alphabet.
It's good to know that those services are available. My son is way too young for his own phone but I've always wondered about those "send text to ###" commercials I see on TV and how shocked many parents must be when they receive huge bills for for some useless service that their kids racked up.
To many things in life, discipline is the key.

Veech’s internet and mobile phone, over by hwy. 66? :-)
When my son got his phone (”Mom, I’m the last 17 year old in the county withouy a phone.”) I set his limits before he touched his phone. He is in his first year of college and I still have a zero dollar spending limit.
I threaten to add the tracker on his phone so I know where he is every minute of the day. “Mom that’s just creepy.”
:-) Thank God, he’s a good kid so there is no need for that. It is enough that he knows I will do it if need be.
