    any ideas how to get him to cut down:confused: he's a typical teenager constantly texting so i wouldnt say its that excessive.. neither would he:rotfl:

    When they run out, tell him "tough, you're not getting any more credit from me this month".

    I'm a teenager and have to say I only send a dozen or so messages every month. I can't see how some people spend so much on texting? What's wrong with an email - which is free!!

    if your REALLY organized go with phoneboxdirect.com and pick out a t-mobile tarrif which is on the flext tarrif. this offers you £120 credit each month, and i think each text is 10p so if my maths is any goods thats 1200 texts each month (and you can mix and match minutes) and best of all its all FREE for the entire 12 months and you get a free phone.
    i've looked at t-mobile and there seems to be some ok tariffs re texts... problem is for love nor money we cant get a signal in our house from t-mobile:mad:
