go the prepay way.
My kids get very inventive with how they use their sms when they know if will run out and they'll have to ask for more!

Breaking fingers and thumbs would only slow her down about 5% - the work experience girl we had recently was texting nearly as quickly using a pen between her teeth as she was using her fingers.
Going the pre-pay route only stops them until they can blag some more credit off grandparents/aunts/uncles.Rob Smith

Agree a monthly bill that is acceptable to you (as you are paying) every $/£ over that must be paid for through doing jobs around the house (giving you an easier life), if they are under the agreed budget you give them the difference in cash. It provides an incentive not to spend as a) they get cash in their hand, and b) they will notwant to have to do chores
Have a rate card for jobs around the house agreed so there is no arguments

Isn't there a sim card that give unlimited SMS for a set amount each month
or just explain that you can say 10x more in a 10 second phone call than in 100 texts
If I copped 100GBP ($220~) she would have trouble breathing.
Back door to grandparents/uncle/aunty is a revolving one in her case.
"Nanna I need $50 for my mobile phone so I can text Tarquin/Kody/Zara/Izobella/Niquoll/Mother should be shot for a name like that."
Couldn't get pre-paid for the latest/greatest/most expensive. Did you think I would leave you crying,

both my pan lids have been on contract for a number of years simply because I do not want them to get caught without credit in an emergency - plus generally its cheaperSteve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Tried that one. Texting is soooooooooooooooooooooo coooooooooooooool though.
The tree situation has been explained before & she acepts that but you just go to the bank and get money out of a hole in the wall don't you.
The incentive thingy might be the go.
And yes she IS paying the excess.Did you think I would leave you crying,

And of course they can text without being heard, so can get away with it in places that they couldn't talk.
The real question is why they have to keep up the continuous chatter in the first place, and why won't it wait the five minutes until they see each other againRob Smith

They see each other all day at St Snobs school for stuck up little b chs and still manage to text all evening and night. . It starts on the train on the way home.Did you think I would leave you crying,

Nipped out to Horsham last night for a few drinks and watched, utterly bemused, as two slappers wandered up the road to the bar, heels scuffing and heads down in slack-jawed disinterest, thumbs working away like their lives depended on it. They came into the bar, got drinks then carried on, sat next to each other while texting away for over an hour. Then they got up and left, still texting. Apart from a grunt to order drinks, not a word from them the whole time they were there.
Imagine if we spent all our lives communicating by typing short messages to like-minded strangers all over the planet...... Ah. Right. I'll get my coat. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Ah.You have seen her and her mates then?

I wouldn't have put it past them. Seriously grim pair of slappers - superficially attractive, then you see the contempt for the human race written all over their feral faces, a subtle mix of anger and confusion brought about by an IQ in the low 90s..... and the matching bright pinks FM shoes and handbags.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
