Hey, all
Google has not given me the answer, so I thought, the Mustachians will know! My 13 yr old is at that age where he is gone for several hours, needs to be able to call home from the river, the library, etc. He will also be escorting his younger sister to and from school, so if something were to go awry we want him to be able to call us. More independence at this age. Plus we have no house phone, so when we leave the kids home alone....we usually leave one of our cell phones, but we are both feeling it is time.
The cheapest plans we have priced out are around $25 for totalwireless or 22.50 each for mom and son on ting. Mom already pays $20 through republic wireless, but to add son means buying an expensive phone. This kid does not need unlimited anything, he does not call much, will probably mostly text and we are not interested in buying him a data plan. He can use wifi at home or McDonalds, etc.
Thoughts? We are really resistant to paying $25 a month, there has to be something cheaper out there!
