I go through phones like crazy, between dropping them in parking lots, leaving them in my pants when I wash the pants, Sierra sucking on them and getting drool inside, Jaymes tossing them out of the car... Luckily AT&T has never charged me for a phone. They just keep whipping out new ones for me. I have gotten better though, and this one has lasted a year now.

I dunno, I don't really think kids need cell phones. It disturbs me to see 8 year olds at the mall (alone, mind you) chatting on their cells. I didn't get one till I was 18. Some parents use the cell phone as an excuse for not watching their kids (I am not saying this applies to any of you!) and dump them at the mall, at the barn.. etc. As a kid, I had to have a responsible adult with me at all times unless I was close to home. There was no need for a cell phone. I was not allowed alone at the barn, period, and especially not after dark.

I do like those Firefly phones though- they call mom and dad, and 911. Nothing else, no other features. Those are the only phones a kid needs, IMO.
