    Your post dont make sense.
    You are making things up to talk to others.
    See other posts by PJB which are also made up.
    Talk about calling names, you even say other peoples children are stupid only because dont think like you.
    How sad to do that?

    Are you for real, your first line is 'your post dont make sense' - which itself doen't make sense!
    Then your second line doesn't make sense. !!!!!! is the third line about?
    4th & 5th line again makes no sense, where did I talk about calling names here?
    6th line, again doesn't make sense.

    So lets summarise, you posted 6 sentences and lets all count together how many of them make sense, oh none! That didn't take long did it now! :T

    In your last post you have said:
    I'd rather she had a contract that will cost me under a tenner a month, furnish me with a top phone and give her reasonable allowances than her have PAYG that will cost alot more for the same.

    Now as you cannot grasp simple English I will have to explain it to you. I said 'I'd rather she had . . . . .' which is the reason why I got that contract, get it? I didn't say at any point that I did not have the contract. In fact if you look at link below you will see that I have posted the deal I got, is that a lie, am I making it up?

    If you look carefully you will notice that I posted this some 4 hours before your incredulous comment.

    As for making things up, please disclose further as requested.

    Lastly I think most people would think it stupid to let a child rack up a £750 phone bill, on top of the 1500 free minutes they already had in the first month of them having a mobile and obviously not checking the useage. Suppose you disagree do you?

    Keep it coming, there's a goodboy!

    What you have said is

    Without seeming to be rude but your friends in the argument and their kids must be a bit stupid or have more money than sense! I will be checking regularly in the first month or two, whether I find the app or not, as this is when it most likely to go belly up!

    Check the post number 27.

    I am not going to get into calling names.

    You don't need to and you don't need to get people to call you names, the OP asked about allowance monitoring, that is where they seeked the help/advice they did not ask for the ad hoc stuff which you often add , they are not interested in that, if when they do they can ask in a seperate thread where your mindless rants may well be warranted then.
    In the meantime, the OP wishes to know about allowance monitoring.

    I think either you have not read the post or DUTR and PJB are same person.
    The PJB have called other peoples children:
    "their kids must be a bit stupid.."

    As you have said OP have asked for the app where does kids must be a bit stupid come into this.

    I dont know why you have sent me the answer.

    So you start your ranting about one thing and then grasp onto the above when you've been shot down in flames for everything else.

    Why do you not address what you said in posts 15 & 18? My retort in post 34 explains fully how your are wrong, incorrect, etc etc, why not man up and apologise?

    Re: Your attempt to divert away with the stupid comment, millicentbystander carried on conversing and finished with the following:
    PS My 'stupid' friends' kids had contracts with 1500 mins/ul texts and 1GB data. Scary.

    Get off the fence and tell me then, you go on about:

    Why have you highlighted this, I did not deny the comment, in fact I explained it:

    So you disagree do you?

    Lastly you say I make things up and talk to others, this may not be direct name calling but does infer that you are basically calling me a liar does it not?

    I have not started name calling as if I do not want to be banned, i'm sure there are many others here that agree.

    Definitely not confident as it's easily done - I done it, me Wife, eldest and middle one have done it too. Which is why as i said i'll be monitoring at first but sure i'll slip into not doing that which is why I want the app as a back up!

    1500 mins and they went £750 over, that is ridiculous. I'd have gone billy ballistic!


    They did! :eek: But they, imo reasonably, assumed that sort of contract would easily suffice but quickly found out it didn't. My point has always been, basically, that this contract will be a far bigger worry for you than it is for your child. But I guess that's what being a parent is all about :D . Kids don't get bills relating to their actions and that's the HUGE problem with stuff like this, which is basically unlimited use (but at a price to you). I'm sure there's still time to go another route but if you are, like you say, happy to take the risk good luck with everything. :beer:

    Thank you for all your constructive comments MBS, and if per chance you were offended in any way by my use of the name stupid I do sincerely apologise. I know you have not raised it as such, but goodboy won't shut up about it so thought it best to check.
