Travel with iPhone or Laptop?

Iphone 5 on an AT&T family plan cost?

I want to buy an iphone 5, but i was wondering how much it would cost a month.
What i would like included:
texting
calling (i don't call much)
Wi-fi

My mom has an iphone so if i got one, it could work for a family plan right? We have AT&T if that helps.

Thank you! If you can put how much each thing above costs separately, that would be great! I also heard you have to pay $10 the first month because of the addition right?

Can I retrieve deleted text messages on my iPhone?

Hi I'm trying to get back messages on my iPhone 4 that I deleted earlier today. My phone automatically Backed itself up via iCloud and has done since I deleted the text messages.Am I still able to get these back? Or is there nothing out there that can retrieve deleted messages that are not backed up?

Why are there so many spam adverts all of a sudden?

In the last couple minutes, loads of those spam ads have appeared around all the websites I'm on, like Facebook, twitter, Google and this website. The ads are like how to lose weight in 5 mins, chat requests, and the games like shooting the iPhone. Happened really suddenly and wanna know if there's a way to get rid of it or if its a virus or something, thanks!

Should I give up or tell him I miss him?

I have a crush on this guy. We met through my best friend because they're cousins. When we first started talking things went really well. It was obvious he liked me with all the cute texts, flirting, etc. He texted me first 3 days in a row. And then things slowed down a lot. Now we barely talk. Occasionally we'll snapchat (iphone app where you send pics back and forth.) But it doesn't compare to the way things were. When we first went a week without talking, he snapchatted me wishing me a happy birthday. Then another week went by without us talking. I snapchatted him saying hi and he said "hey beautiful." But we still barely talk. We were supposed to go trick or treating together but it got postponed to the saturday after halloween. And a couple days before that he snapchatted me and looked really sad. So I asked what was wrong and he said we couldn't go trick or treating because he had a football game. Then last monday I snapchatted him a picture of his school picture because I was at his cousin's house and I said "look at this cutie!" And he said "that's me!" and I said "oh really?" And he never answered. So now we haven't talked or anything since then.

I feel like he's giving up on me because we go to different school's and never get to see eachother. We've tried and our plans keep getting ruined. We barely talk anymore and it's killing me. Should I just give up or tell him I miss him sometime this week? I'm scared he won't feel the same and it'll be awkward.
