Would it be bad to ask for an iPhone?

Ok. So I have a tracfone. We have to load minutes on it every three months. I honestly don't use it much. Why? Because I have an iPod touch 4g. I have a texting app so I can message my friends and have limited calling time. So I mostly use my iPod because if I'm at home or have a Wi-Fi signal, I'm fine. But the reason we keep rolling over my minutes on my tracfone is because there has been times where I needed it in an emergency.

So; I kinda want to talk to my dad about selling my iPod and my tracfone and getting an iPhone. I want to keep all of my data on my iPod (apps, photos etc.)and that's a way I can; unlike any other phone. My dad has an iPhone for his work and he doesn't like the company he's with. He gets horrible coverage. But he has a two year plan. My friend recently signed a two year contract with a different company than my dad, and she was given a free iPhone. I want to sign up for this, but I don't know if my father would let me.

So, how do I bring this up to my dad? We're not SUPER money right but were not in a perfect place. I'm fourteen and my birthday isn't for another five months.

Ask for something cheaper than the iPhone… I have one and honestly they aren't all that

The monthly rate is MUCH more expensive for an iPhone than Tracfone.

We do the same thing as you: have iPods for music etc, and a prepaid cell phone for emergeincies (and we hardly ever use it)
