How do I get my parents to let me to buy a cell phone with my own money?

If they will not let you get a regular cell phone, there are pay as you go cell phones but as long as you are going to be paying for it, I don’t see what the problem would be, either way!

same thing with my parents- usually ur mom should say yes…
my excuse (reason) is that all of my cousins have a cell phone and i dont… im gettin a phone (hopefully by the end of this summer)

also, tell them the times when u needed a phone and didnt have one…

you could show them that you have enough money for the monthly payments, or ask them honestly what there reasons are behind you not having a phone, and acting maturely will most likely be your best bet in getting a phone

Convince that you are independent and that you earned the money the hard way. Prove to them that you are responsible and do extra chores around the house!

tell them that since ur offering to pay it with ur own money itz obvious u r going to be responsible and care for it.

b extra good nd try not to talk back or get in trouble.

if they dont want to let u get 1 rite away ask them 2 give u a fake cell fone nd hav u carry it evrywhere with u for a month to show you that u wont break or lose it.

tell them u can use it in the case of emergencies.

or u can beg until they’re sick of hearing u whine nd they’ll get u a fone

Alright, I don’t know your age, which might be a factor. I don’t know your spending habits, they do. However, try looking for something responsible to impress your folks: perhaps a WiFi phone that is cheap? You will be using the free WiFi networks which won’t cost you. Try the Tmobile
Home plan. Or go to:
It’s a bluetooth phone that works off your laptop computer for $90.00. It folds flat and fits inside the PC card slot to charge, download, etc.

The Belkin Skype Phone for $180.00-free calls
You either pay for the phone or the plan. Get a good quality WiFi phone and pay nothing for the calls. How’s that?
