Huguenot Said -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The thing I'd most worried about is mugging. The secondary issue is spoiling her. 15 year old girls are soft targets, and a ?600 phone will be admired and envied by friends and enemies alike. There are plenty of things I want, and I have to budget, make sacrifices and wait, by which time I usually realise I didn't want them that bad. How will she learn these lessons? H is spot on I agree with his comments, also a child needs to know the value of money and how hard you have to work for it. I was in the same situation a year ago with my daughter who 17 she had to wait until I can afford it. She did do a few odd jobs to pay towards the phone which I was pleased. I found a great deal on EBay it was a refurbished IPhone 4 unlocked it cost me ?240 and it is still in good condition after a year. Maybe it worth having a look on EBay if you don't want to fork out ?600for Iphone.
