[blparent] a new school

[Brandy W]

Hi, I'm working through old mail from when I was doing everything on my 
phone while my computer was beeing worked on so I'm a bit behind. I'd 
reccomend something simple with parent passwords and such. Something she can 
simply make calls on, Text if you are ok with it, and no internet unless you 
parent protect or use the companies kids safety program. Not sure how 
accessable it is but most carriers now have a problem where you can track 
where your kid is which may help you feel more secure for the reason you are 
getting her the phone. G sounds like a smart responsible kid, but she is a 
kid so probably the protection plan for the phone would be a good idea so if 
a friend dumps a drink on it or something you aren't out $100.

Hope the walking continues well and you can relax.
