Again, I am a parent who is all about teaching kids responsibility.  One way we have done this in our home is by purchasing prepaid phones such as the Straight Talk 2, for our children prior to adding them to our personal celluar plan.

Every time one of them wanted to call a friend they had to make sure that they did it from their own phones.  We taught them that they needed to be responsible for their phones and that they also had to earn their minutes.  

The nice thing about this phone is that there is no contract, no surprise bills, and no credit check needed.  No need for a salesman to reel you in hook, line and sinker and get you to purchase a phone with a fancy plan and all of the bells and whistles to go with.

We found that this type of phone offers everything you need including a camera, touch screen and more. Each phone has something to offer every need.  Just check out the video below!

As you can see, Straight Talk has affordable plans and leave you free of the activation, reactivation and termination fees making it the best type of phone for the pre-teen or teen in your life!

Just remember, mom knows best!!
