You hit one home when you asked about teens texting. My daughter of course has a cell, and for the first couple of years texted moderately, costing me maybe $10 - 15 per month. Then out of the blue her cell phone bill in one month was almost $200 additional in text charges, and of course as the bill arrives partway into the next month, they continued to pile on with an even higher bill the next month. I called the provider and cut her off for a few months, and now have a unlimited plan for her. I don't know how she can text that often a day, maybe sleep texting? I am of course mighty annoyed with the carrier who could have alerted me to the sudden jump in usage allowing me to make adjustments to the account before the bill sent me into shock!
