http://www.tracfone.com it is awesome it is a prepaid phone with no age limits no montly bills no hidden fees/costs and no contracts and with all the calling features such as free voicemail free caller id free call waiting and free nationwide long distance. all for as little as $10 a month calculated minimum usage because you have to buy a minute card every 60 or every 365 days depending on if you bought the year service card because the cheapest minute card is 20 dollars and you would have to add one every 60 days it would be around $10 a month which isnt bad. Hope this Helps!!!!!! Tracfone Wireless is awesome good luck choosing your phone!!

P.S. and a phone kit is only about $20 bucks @ your local walmart walgreens and family dollar stores etc. this includes up to 20 minutes and 60 days of wireless service included
And I will tell you when Tracfone Says they have "Nationwide coverage" they absolutely mean it I use it all the time and I would rather have nationwide coverage across the U.S. than have free mobile web on fridays with boost mobile but it all depends on the user preference or even if you want to make the monthly cost go down get a year service card for $100 and it works out to be $8.33 a month which is even cheaper than the $10 I mentioned earlier.

Hope this helps!! :)

Plus they offer a 30 day* money back guarantee + one year warranty on the cellphone at no addl' cost.

What I would do if I was U is make up a emergency situation and tell ur parents that because u dont have a phone you wouldnt be able to get help in a emergency if you are really tight on money otherwise if you have $20 dollars to get one at your local Walmart I will be able to get you 120 minutes free by doing refer a friend on their website this is $30 dollars worth of airtime. Let me know if Ur interested. :-)

Hope this Helps Ya

Puppueyelover's response is great.

All family plans from the major cellular providers have unlimited talking to other members of your family.Parents love you and want to spend time with you. They often feel guilty that they don't spend time with you. With a phone you'll be able to talk more to your parents when your at a bustop waitng. Really emphasie how it help will you communicate with them better, since they're so busy. Induce guilt.

After she is motivated, you still have to convice her it is economical.
If she already has a cell phone, her company will probably will give her a new free phone for only about $10-$20 a month more.

If she doesn't already have service. Sprint has a plan for two people only 59 a month. If your mom is part of a credit union it would only be 53 a month.
