I got my cell phone taken away because I got a C+. My step-dad thinks that I have to have all A’s and B’s. I don’t think it is fair getting it taken away over one C+. I want to get my grades up but the end of school is tomorrow. What is a good way to fix my grades or get my cell phone back?

I got my mom a cell phone about 2 years ago to bring her up to the technology world and finally have a cell phone. I didnt realize when I got her the phone that the numbers are really hard to see and the key pad is really small for her. I have her set up with Alltel and I know she is due for a new phone soon. Can anyone tell me what kind of phone has bigger numbers and a bigger screen to see who is calling?

I need the cheapest cell phone possible. Both my home phone and cell phone aren’t working and I need something that doesn’t include a plan or long sign up process. I’ve heard that there’s cheap cell phones you can buy, or even use your own, then just buy minutes as you use them each month. Where can I find something like this and what is it exactly?

I can’t get into my cell phone voice mail because my #1 key doesn’t work and I need to type in the #1 for my password. So, is there a way to check my voice mail from another phone such as my home phone or another cell phone?
