Parents... best phone plan for kids?

[Ringleader]

I would highly recommend Kajeet for parents to be able to control the kids usage. My son has it on his phone and we get weekly reports of text, data, picture usage. Plus, we can block all kind of picture sharing, individual people and have the phone shut down at certain times. But, mom and dad are always available to call even if the phone is shut down.

I do like their plans.... not real crazy about the phones though.

Back in the day mine got a roll of dimes on the first of the month

And the awesome part was the dimes were still backed by gold.

I ended up going with that family share plan. I put my two oldest (13 and 11) on it because they live with their mom and that miserable **** would never answer the phone or let them talk so this was the only way I could keep good communication with them. We have the 10GB plan for 5 devices (4 iPhones and an iPad) and we've hit about 65% of our data but never used all of it. AT&T has parental controls that allow you to limit the amount of data as well.

Another vote for StraightTalk. Been with them for nearly 2 years. Currently running an AT&T Galaxy S3 with a StraightTalk sim card. Same exact service and speeds as AT&T but for $45 month unlimited. Yeah, somewhere around 2.5-3gb data will get throttled but not cut off and no price increase. If that's not enough data then your going to be paying out the a** anyway with a "major" carrier . . .

I have been with them for 3 years and love it! Straight talk is the way to go!
