Screw TMobile.
Switch to Cingular. They monitor numbers, landlines or not.

How young is she? My 16 year old has a cell phone, but she works and she got a pay as you go phone with her own money. If you gave her the phone and think she is doing something wrong with it - take it away from her! I don't get into my daughters phone, I don't read her letters, I don't read her diary, or listen in on her phone conversations. It is called trust. Talk to her about your concerns with older boys. Tell her why you don't want her having relationships with them. Talk, talk, talk, to her. Let her know how much you want to trust her and tell her you will until she gives you a reason not to. If she breaks your trust there will be consequences, and she will have to work hard to earn your trust back. Teens act tough sometimes, but they really do want your approval. Best blessings to you.

You should call T-Mobile and take block her from using the text feature. I dont know if TMobile has itemized bills but Cingular gives me a detailed list of incoming/outgoing phone calls.
Besides, texts are too expensive and a teen w/a phone is expensive enough.

I can understand how they won't give you the numbers, but if something legal comes up then they are required by law to hand them over, but that will be at the calling of a subpoena.
You can always just take her phone and read throgh her messages at random times of the day, however that my provoke her to erase them all.
I think you should just trust her. Talk to her and tell her what your expectations are and if you get the slightest hint of something happening that there will be severe consequences.

they should give you phone numbers of her out going and recieved calls, but if they dont give you her text numbers recieved or the ones she has sent the only suggestion I have is to have the phone company block all texting, i think personaly it is a waste of time. Just call the person, Make sure the BLOCK it though if they just take it off and dont actualy block it all of it, incomming and outgoing, you coul be charged 10cents for every outgoing and 25cents for every incomming, not a good thing...good luck.

Call T mobile and ask them what you can do, ask for an itemized bill each month...you can always discontinue the cell phone if you aren't sure what she is doing...

Get rid of the texting option. There is no reason to have it. Tell her if she wants to talk to someone, use the phone.

You can look at her phone while she's in the shower and see all the incoming and outgoing texts, as long as she has erased them.
