Phone?????????????????????????…

i have a phone now but its REALLY old and doesn't work that well...im trying to convince my parents to get me a new one.....any ideas???????

thx!

Tell them last time you thought someone was following you and you were scared and tried to call them but this stupid phone did not work. For my protection and your peace of mind(mom and dad) I need a new better phone

You should look on craigslist you can find phones for as low as $20. I'm sure they wouldn't mind paying for that. But if you want something more expensive or a certain phone offer to pay for it yourself with work you do around your house, or getting an A in a certain class, or for the semester. Parent's don't mind paying for stuff when you've earned it. You can talk to them about it and write out a plan like for every A you earn you recieve $20 (just an example) Good luck.

Tell them that your phone almost never works and that you really need a new one. Just give them examples of how you really need a new phone, like if there was an emergency, your phine wouldn't work, or something like that.

you can say that i dont have service anywhere and the phone is outdated and say that at school i have no service and i need a new UPDATED phone. thats what i do and supprisingly i works... i mean yeah... :)

do chores to pay for like half of the bill and promise to be careful with it and just don't call everybody or text them all the time!

hope i helped!!

Maybe you can do chores to help pay the bill. See what they say.

Maybe you should get one of those cute Motorola phones. Or Nokia N76 =) just help in chores, study ..etc show them that you deserve it!

Just be like daddy I wont a new phone give it to me now it always works for me but im spoiled so idk

Suggest to them that you will pay for it or show them you deserve a new one.

just tell them what if you were lost and you needed to call them?

thats what i did :P

Maybe take up a part-time job to show you are responsible?
