Introduction By The Numbers Feature Focus Comments 21

These youngsters are probably on your family plan.

These days kids old enough to dial a phone are old enough to have their own cell phone. It just makes sense considering their schedules are just as busy as ours. How else is a family supposed to stay coordinated? Do your kids a favor, don't just hand them down your four year old free phone or by them a phone disguised as a toy. It only takes a few bucks (or in most cases, just a new contract) to get your kid a little street cred. A phone that's tough enough to stand up to book bags, soccer practice, falls off skateboards and still look like a stylish phone for adults. Each of these models is durable, good at text messaging, reliable for phone calls, and looks good enough to impress judgmental peers. They each are flip phones and have a VGA camera as well.
