New Phone

Alex got a new phone.

It's an early birthday present. This is his first phone. It only has texting. Well, you can make phone calls on it, too. We added his phone to our current family plan.

Yesterday he got a text from our cell phone provider telling him he has racked up $20.00 in texting fees (we have an unlimited family texting plan - a must have with teenagers). I had to call our cell phone provider and work out that little problem. Apparently when the person added the line to our plan, she wiped out our texting plan. It's all straightened out now.

I was talking to Alex today when he got home from school. He wanted a friend over. While he was talking to me his phone was buzzing (from text messages). He was receiving and replying to messages the entire time we were talking from various friends (who, hopefully have unlimited texting plans). It was a constant beeping sound coming from him, which explains why everyone with teenagers should have unlimited texting plans.

I did ask him to try and not exceed our limit on our unlimited plan. I think I might have stumped him and maybe slowed down his texting.......for a minute.
