Cell phone use among teenagers can be incredibly costly. As cell phone technology develops, teenage users are doing much more than calling and texting. Pre paid cell phones offer parents freedom in controlling their teen's phone use. With a pre paid phone, time/usage credits are purchased. When those credits run out, functions no longer work. A pre paid cell phone teaches teenagers responsibility and encourages them to manage their phone time.
