        good point, I like it!

          Sounds like a divorce is the only way forward. Or an iPhone, depending on what might be cheaper.

              Ouch - sorry about that. Sometimes we can inadvertently be a bit close to the bone.

                Sorry to hear that chief, hope you can sort things out for the best.
                Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

                  Your daughter will call her mates and use up her credit so give her a monthly limit for top ups.
                  Also tell her about the reverse charge services and teach her how to use them, so when she doesn't have any credit left she can still get in touch in an emergency.

                    Your faith in the ability of a 9 year old to not 'lose' something is misplaced.

                    I'm sorry but I suspect the other kids would call that a 'spazzphone'.

                      You'd hardly be able to misplace something like that phone. Although here there may a concerted effort to intentionally "lose" it on the part of the owner.

                      My point exactly, hence "emergency use only".
