If texting during school gets out of control and you see a spike in your bill, ask your child to get a part time job to cover their text message cell phone plan. ~~~ I am not sure about a shared plan but texting and taking pics and sending pics along with long distance phone calls only cost an extra $10/month for a Cricket/Revol.(unlimited). I don't want choas and I found it easier "to each their own. I have never tried it but think I know in advance that a shared plan would not work for my family. If we were all on the same plan I would have a daily job calling to check our plan usuage, knowing that someone went over and would have to see the itemized statement on who to blame it on. Too much work to me. Most I know have Sprint as I do. I have never gone over my minutes and they do not roll over(Sprint has to love me like a buffet eatery does, I never get my monies worth that I pay for). LOL. I don't agree with cell phone/texting in class. My kids do have a cell phone so I can reach them. I may not know what time they are in what class but I may want to stay connected to my child(ren) at some point. It is up to my child(ren) to find a appropriate time to contact me back. In a emergency I want a swift call back though. Too many things are happening in schools/colleges/universites. Two years ago I had two daughters at the same University(living in a city not in our zip code) and school had just started for the year. I was watching my local news and at the University my daughers were at there was a woman who was raped. The news did not say the age or color of the young woman. I just called each of my daughers cell numbers and was so upset and pulling my hair out and biting my nails with fear. I could not get a call back from my daughters until later that day. They were not able to call back at the time I called. Now the University has a text and email elert for "all things that happen". A death, A person missing or Swine Flu. I hope parents can get some peace of mind through others sadness, that it took someones child to be raped or died that schools/colleges know that we all have to be informed. I know that this post was about cell phone etiquette, cell phones can keep us connected or make some use it for simply being rude and talking loud in a grocery store. I only hope my kids(they are adults) use texting, email and sending anything in a good beneficial way to converse with others than in a nude sharing way with the world wide web. Great tips.
