1 - safety when you're out in the community
ask them for the phone - no contract, and that you will buy your own pay-as-you-go cards so its your responsibility not to waste your air time, and it won't cost them a cent after that.

Cell phones aren't supposed to be for novelty reasons. Depending on your age should be when you get a cell phone. Why would a 13 year old need a cell phone compared to a 17 year old? The person above is right, I was given 50 cents if I went anywhere... a quarter for a call, and an extra in case the phone ate that quarter. A cell phone is a huge responsibility. If you are getting a cell phone, be prepared to pay for it. If you think you're adult enough to have one, you're adult enough to take care of it and pay for it.

When I was a teenager (back in the dark ages) we were given a quarter to call home if we had an emergency.
When I was older, my mom bought me a bag phone (that is pre-cell phones) and I had to pay the monthly service if there was an emergency.
Offer to pay for the service so they will not have any charges. Cell phones are not a necessity, they are a responsibility.

We survived forever without cellphones. Your parents did not grow up with cell phones, nor did any generation before them. The best hope, if they are opposed is to accept their judgement and move on, then they will probably surprise you on your birthday or Christmas as a reward for growing up and accepting them on the issue.

You get a job and you earn it! I hate that kids now feel there parents should buy them a cell phone.

Show them that you are responsible and offer to pay for it. Also tell them that they can have complete access to the history. Then do your part and be an adult with it. And understand that if you brake the rules you will lose this privilege.
