my daughter is on her 6th mobile phone now, the first ended up with a cracked screen, the second would not charge up, the third had a speaker problem, forth the casing cracked, the fifth wouldnt charge and the most recent she dropped in the bath (thats probably gone now).
so im now thinking she is just going to get a £10 cheap nokia next and lump it.
anyone else keeps buying their kids mobiles?

Must admit mine had the cheapest going at the time -- until they could buy one themselves. Mind you, back then the things only made and received calls ...... these days they make you breakfast while you chat (OK ... bit of an exaggeration. but you know what I mean !) Trium Mars IIIRC.

The eldest did keep taking the covers off and spraying them different colours as the mood took her !

I`ve got an old Nokia.......`so old in fact, that it fits in the Miggy`s hand`s-free dock!.....despite it`s antiquety, it still works well and performs all things as-promised/required: "it is a telephone and it is mobile"

Mine is a 6310 .... the bods in the phone shop think I am mad!  Last time I changed contract I gave the all singing and dancing phone away and put the new sim in my old Nokia !

Because I don'y want the latest, buggy handsets, my mobile provider gives me £100 every year.  Now I have 2 phones, and pay about £12.50 per month the pair for 100mins anytime/network and more texts than I can handle.

I'll let you do the maths on that one

I struck a similar deal with mine in the end --- 240 mins anytime/ network and 100 texts per month for a tenner. Maybe I should have tried for more -- but they said what do you want and how much do you want to spend .... hence the above.

I have about 10 phones all still in their boxes from work and stuff. I use a 6310 which I went and bought because I don't want loads of bells and whistle and don't tend to eat breakfast anyway.

My daughter gets pocket money which she keeps track of in a book and if she wants a new mobile she can buy one. If she loses or breaks it she knows the consequences. The last count was that she had 3 good working phones. She swaps the SIM cards about depending on what she's doing. One has a really good camera, is good for playing MP3 and has a good range of games, another is very small and fits nicely into jeans pockets and the last one is a cheapy that she uses for school and or bike rides etc.

All quite grown up really; she's 11

And me, she has a bag which contains a veritable schmorgesbord of techie bits and peices. A nintendo DS lite, an i-Pod classic and which ever phone she's using.

my daughter is on her 6th mobile phone now, the first ended up with a cracked screen, the second would not charge up, the third had a speaker problem, forth the casing cracked, the fifth wouldnt charge and the most recent she dropped in the bath (thats probably gone now).
so im now thinking she is just going to get a £10 cheap nokia next and lump it.
anyone else keeps buying their kids mobiles?

I can be clumsey with mobile phones, and a few years back got a Nokia that was waterproof, shockproof, and dust proof (designed with tradesmen in mind).  Cannot remember the model number now, but I wonder if they make a new version of it.  Worth a thought I think.
