Cell Phones for kids

[katya]

I text non-essential stuff, but only when I have something specific to say. I don't like having texting conversations because I get bored and stop replying. I don't even want to start a text conversation because I know I'll have to either say "ok gotta go" after three messages or just leave them hanging. Messages in my outbox starting with most recent (not all verbatim but close):
-sorry have to cancel today
-ok I'll be right over
-yeah thursday is fine
-no problem
-still on for today?
-thank you
-send my sheet music yet?
-sounds good
-i would help them you mean?
-can i email you? are you by a computer?

etc.

I don't think kids need unlimited texting. But it's really convenient. I prefer texts over phone calls for simple messages like the above.
