Kids Finally Got Their Cellphones

To buy or not to buy. That is the question many parents will wrestle with as they debate whether to buy a wireless phone for their child.

But for those unsure whether their kids will use a phone responsibly or view it as a toy, a prepaid wireless phone is the best way to stay in touch without breaking the bank, says F.J. Pollak, president and CEO of TracFone Wireless, the nation's largest prepaid wireless service provider.

"Since airtime is purchased in advance, parents are never in danger of receiving out of control monthly wireless bills," says Pollak, whose prepaid wireless phones require no contracts, monthly bills or age requirements. "Our prepaid wireless service allows parents to buy a hassle free, back-to-school wireless phone for their child without any of the obstacles associated with conventional wireless plans."

Many parents, Pollak says, are purchasing cell phones for their children as a means of staying in touch with them once the school day has ended. "A cell phone is handy for kids who participate in after school activities such as sports or clubs. If the activity ends early or late, or has been canceled, kids can call their parents to inform them about the changes," added Pollak. "Additionally, children can call their parents to ask for permission should last-minute activities arise."

For parents debating whether they should buy a cell phone for their child, Pollak suggests they ask themselves the following questions*:

• Is my child involved in extracurricular activities?
• Could the activities get canceled or finish early?
• Is it difficult to find a public phone where my child attends those activities?
• Am I ever the last parent to pick up my child from activities?
• Are there times I wish I had the ability to leave my child a message regarding a change of plans?
• Is my child ready for added responsibility?
• Do I want the security of knowing the whereabouts of my child at any given time?

"If you answered 'yes' to three or more of these questions," said Pollak, "then your child is ready for a cell phone."
