let her sign!! What a pain in the behunkus!! ...then let her pay if he messes up.

But, I'm with you...if you don't feel he's responsible enough (the previous phone history tells you he isn't there YET) and feel his money better spent/saved elsewhere - I'd tell Granny to take a flying leap! And that she needs to explain to the child that SHE BEHAVED BADLY and didn't get an okay from you first! DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED!

Tell her NO MEANS NO!!

OMG, I'm so glad my mother-in-law and mother weren't this kind of Grandmother! Sheesh!! If the pressure from the kids isn't bad enough now you got a goofy-Gran on the loose!

My CashHappySon just turned 18 and just now got a pay-as-you-go cell...and even at 18 he isn't doing too great with it...has already had to refill it WAY TOO MANY times and then let some goomer at work use it to text his girlfriend which used even more minutes, so guess what all the minutes & all the budgeted money for the cell is now used up and it's only the 7th! Guess what? The phone will sit idle for the rest of the month.

TOO BAD!

At 16 I don't think a child is responsible enough to sign up for a two year contract and obviously so does the law FOR A REASON!! Yes, I know, some of us have very responsible teens and others of us were very responsible teens (don't send me any mail!) BUT on average there's a reason why minors aren't allowed to make contracts!

Sheesh GRANNY, pull your head out!

Hot Dog stand your ground and get the three of you together to explain to the child why Granny has overstepped herself!

My sympathies!
