How much can a 15 year old text?

Well, apparently, a 15 year old can text over $1000 worth in a single month!!  Yeah, it came as a complete shock to me too.  Imagine my surprise when I open up my sprint letter online and it shows a bill for $1158.  Oh, she is so lucky that she was not within a five mile vicinity.  She is so D.E.D. Dead!  Well not really but her social life is.  

So I called Sprint up and tried to work something out with them.  They offered a $50 credit.  Really?  Well, my contract ended with them in September and I was just waiting to go with AT&T and the I-Phone.  I was saving money for my new photography lights for the studio,  but with this kind of pay this now or your phone will be shut off deal, I decided to go early for the phone.  So, I 'm sitting here typing this, the proud new owner of a 16GB, black, 3G I-Phone with the best protector they offered.  

Even with my statement of switching to AT&T, Sprint still wouldn't work something out.  I've been a member with them since January 2002!  Well, now I have to call them back up and work out a 50 year payment plan since I am going to make my daughter pay every cent back.  She's starting tomorrow and will canvas the entire neighborhood to clean/rake their yard, pet sit, baby sit, etc.  100 $10 jobs and she will be debt free...(to me at least) 

Ah, kids are so sweet when they are little, then they grow up and get their own minds and we lose ours.
