What is the virgin mobile super-tab? - 1

So I'm 13 and really want a phone, an iPhone 4 specifically. My parent are not keen on the idea of signing for me for a 3 year contract. So then I was browsing and saw an option for this supertab thing.
What is it?
How does it work?
How much would you have to pay monthly (like for texting etc)?
I make about 20-40 bucks a week for babysitting, would it be enough to pay if I got an pretty good plan?

If you're serious about wanting a phone, you should start off with something less then an iPhone 4 and show your parents you are capable of having a cell phone, besides in my personal opinion you're a bit young for a phone that costs that much.

They have some really good no contract phones, there's Straight Talk which I used for a very long time, they have really good plans and cheap phones http://www.straighttalk.com/ you can browse that if you want, they have an unlimited plan for $45 bucks so your parents probably wouldn't mind giving you a bit of extra money. They also have cheaper plans.

There's also Boost Mobile which is what I'm currently using and they have no contract smartphones as well, there phones are a bit expensive though, and they have cheap plans, there unlimited plan ranges from 50 to 55 bucks. So that's a bit more then you have.

For your first phone I would go with Straight Talk, it would show your parents you are responsible enough to handle a cell phone and if you don't break it or mess it up within a year or so, then you could talk to them about getting a contract. They need to know that they won't be wasting away there money.
