My son is about 15 and he wants a new cell phone. Can you all think of a phone that he won't mess up?

Question

My son is kind of a klutz and we were looking for a reasonably priced, durable phone which looks flashy. Thanks!

Answer 1

I bought my child a virgin Mobile. easy to use and pay as you go.

Answer 2

Sprint/Nextel if you want a durable phone. I've seen my friends put those things through a lot.

Plans? T-Mobile = most minutes for your money

It's easy to get a nice flip/color/camera phone

I've been seeing a lot of commercials for "Back to school sales" for cell phone companies, so start looking

Answer 3

3310 is not flashy at all but its soooooooooo cheap this is a fact that once my uncle threw it at a dog that was chasing him it hit the dog then crashed in the ground but it still works

but since you also want it to be flashy,just get any nokia phone that is plain no slide or flip and change the original casing

Answer 4

Some carriers offer an insurance for $5 a month. I'm not quite sure if it covers being dropped or not...

I went with Alltel-Razr. It's an okay phone, and we got rebates with it.

Answer 5

t-mobile for cheapness... maybe a music phone for coolness...but music phones on average cost about $350 lol, but some cost like $100 look at this link http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/n/6859.html

this looks cool for a $100 phone!

Answer 6

The Motorola V551 is a good one for a clumsy person. I suggest Cingular, also.

Answer 7

a nokia 6061 cheap only paid 50 for mine and its durable dropped mine a couple times and it still works.

Answer 8

Just make sure it's a prepaid. If not and he loses it, you're out tons of money if somebody starts calling all their international relatives.

Answer 9

ummm, I just saw a commercial on disney phones. That could help. :)
