How to convince my dad to let me get a phone?
I want/need a phone, i'm 14 and have a job that pays $5 an hour and i really want a phone for communication. My mom is not against it, but she's not for it either. I'm not really worried about it tho, she's smart about it. It's just my dad… He's totally against it. I use my moms phone and he always gets mad at me for how much time i spend on it. (But Snapchat, streaks, ya know.) i need to be on it at least 2 hours:/ I'm willing to pay for it, but I'm pretty sure my dad is going to be really stubborn about it. I just want him to understand that now i will be getting my license and i need a form of communication. He'd let me get a flip phone, but its the 21st century i want an iPhone 7. Any advice?
14 is a bit young trust me your not missing out on much. Enjoy being a kid while it lasts
Tell him all the reasons you need one
You don't NEED a phone to Snapchat / streaks / twitter etc. Why do you need 2 hours? For a 14 year old a flip phone is fine. Not cool. But fine.
Yes, accept that your parents don't have to get you a phone. You don't need a phone and you're already showing you aren't responsible or mature enough for a phone.
Ask nicely
You are 14 and want a phone. It would be less expensive for your mommy to buy you a phone than have you working at he 14 year employment pay rate.
Maybe you can bribe him by offering to do extra chores for him if he'll let you get one
You don't need it. You just want one due to every one else having one. Sine you can't afford one and can't afford its bills and don't need one, they won't get one
- What should I do should I get a new phone or not be embarrassed? And how do I convince my parents to get me a new phone? I have an iPhone 4 and it is 2017. The iPhone 7 already came out and I jane a 4. I feel really embarrassed when I take out my phone that I don't take it out because my friends have the iPhone 6 and 7.
- Today my dad upgraded to an iphone 10, and because he has the forever iphone plan he was able to keep his old phone and he gave it to me? I synced all of my apps and contacts from my old phone, a samsung, to the new one, when I texted one of my friends, I found out I was sending messages through my icloud address and I had no service. Is this something I'll have to call my carrier about to switch my number, or can it be done manually and from the phone's settings. If the it's the latter, what steps would I have to take?
- How to convince them to get me an iPhone 5s? Well I'm 14 years old, nearly 15 and i would really like an iPhone 5s for christmas. Christmas is in 11 days and i didn't get the greatest report from school. I have been asking for a phone for nearly 2 years now and still haven't got one. Is there any way i can convince my parents to get me one?
- How can i convince my parents to buy me a new phone? Right now i have an iPhone 6 and it is getting really old and i hate it. I want to pre-order the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 but they won't let me. They have the money, they are just being stupid and cheap. I really want a new phone. I have had the iPhone 6 since 2014 when it first came out. How can i convince them to let me buy it? I hate them for this, they never buy me anything.
