My 13 and 14 yo sons both have virgin mobile and the 300 minutes has worked out fine--curious though, how does your 11 yo get money to pay even 12.50 a month?
An allowance?
THe reply I got was NOT polite.
I think it was polite especially considering what you posted.
OP, I started my dd out on VM, she now has Verizon. I pay $15 a month for her, that includes $10 towards unlimited texts to other Verizon customers, and 250 non Verizon customers. That leaves $5 for talk minutes, which equals less than 25 minutes a month. She has never gone over that, I'm not even sure she knows how to talk on her cell I think 300 minutes will be just fine for your dd.
