@reay when I was 10 we didn't text each other at all! only big kids got that sort of thing.. now I'm seeing 12 year olds in primary school walking around with them...

@yeahmate12 Yep. We weren't going to do it until she was older, but it's looking like she'll be getting to school with a group of neighbourhood kids next school year, so we want a bare bones call-and-text package with zero data for her so she can let us know where she is when.
