"possible illegal activity which I don't want to discuss in detail. "

It was a lame attempt at a joke.

Sending someone pics or receiving and forwarding pics of someone else

Sounds like a user problem

Blaming T-Mobile for your daughter's decision is like me blaming pizza for being

So you are fine with removing restrictions for minors and let them make good

JAGA97

Well that escalated quickly.

I think he is saying control what you can control. What's done is done and

100% agree. It's probably time we take care of the problem at

Oh and Taco Bell should not be allowed to serve fat people.

The Dude Abides

4/20/17 4:04pm

Is the guy 16? Because a 16 year old can't register a car or buy insurance.

JAGA97

4/20/17 4:06pm

Doesn't matter. They sold something that led to someone's ability to commit a crime. I thought you and I were on the

That was a pretty lame comparison.

Ouch. Okay. Maybe this one is better. A guy buys a Betos breakfast burrito and gets sick so he

Chill.... I get where you are going, but these comparisons don't really

RaggaeCoug

4/20/17 4:18pm

T-mobile has no blame at all. It's almost assuredly a prepaid phone plan which can be sold to someone under 18

The point is it shouldnt be legal for t monile tonsell a device

CarolinaCoug

CC would like everyone to know that it shouldn't be legal for T-Mobile to sell

I agree TDA needs to chill (cuz its a sensitive situation) but T-Mobile has no

4mack

4/20/17 4:23pm

If it's really a sensitive situation, I'll quit poking fun. I didn't get that vibe I guess.

The Dude Abides

4/20/17 4:29pm

Are we talking about "some guy" or minors?

CarolinaCoug

4/21/17 2:24pm

T-Moble should be held accountable the contract.

TheHop

4/20/17 3:55pm

You sure there wasn't an adult who helped her?

conetah

They know they can't enter into a contract with a minor. How do you take blame

RaggaeCoug

4/20/17 4:10pm

Wrong.

ArchbishopMitty

4/21/17 3:32pm

Can a 16 year-old enter a legal contract?

Hang10

4/20/17 3:27pm

they don't have contract anymore

Nat Gas Man

4/20/17 3:33pm

They don't have term agreements, but they most certainly have contracts

Jesse Pinkman

4/20/17 3:35pm

a burner phone has no contract of any kind and is month to month prepaid

Nat Gas Man

4/20/17 3:38pm

She signed a contract.

JAGA97

4/20/17 3:40pm

that is an issue on a ton of fronts...there are internal rules as stated below

Nat Gas Man

4/20/17 3:42pm

What is the contract, what are the terms?

Buying anything for cash involves a contract

No. In all states you need to be 18 to sign for yourself. Under age signers require the signature of their guardian

theOnceler

4/20/17 3:34pm

See my post below. Yes, they can. But minor can void it.

CosmoK

4/20/17 3:47pm

My question is where did she get the money to make the purchase. Did she earn the money herself or did she steal it?

IceBlueCoug

4/20/17 3:41pm

T-Mobile runs a large risk entering contracts with kids.

CosmoK

4/20/17 3:47pm

I just got a great business idea for my daughter to pick up some summer cash. Thanks!

kccougar

4/20/17 3:53pm

I'd argue that non-contract remedies could be sought. . .

CosmoK

4/20/17 3:58pm

Best wishes to your daughter and you, I hope it ends fine. T-mobile has no fault

4mack

4/20/17 3:47pm

The hardware often is on installments/contract, right?

CosmoK

4/20/17 3:49pm

that is a contract from the wireless perspective at least

Nat Gas Man

4/20/17 3:52pm

Nope. It's on her and her parents.

Have you considered that turning that phone over to the cops may expose you and

I know you don't want to talk about it but will you tell me if I'm warm when I ask if the phone was

The Dude Abides

4/20/17 4:12pm

Now that made me literally laugh out loud....

RaggaeCoug

4/20/17 4:19pm

No. You can rest easy. An adult male tried to pick my daughter up at her work.

JAGA97

4/20/17 4:42pm

Scary stuff. I like the word "tried" in your comment. I'm glad he wasn't successful.

The Dude Abides

4/20/17 4:46pm

He also said adult,so an 18 year old tried to.pick up his 16 year old daughter?

CarolinaCoug

4/21/17 2:37pm

Seems like you are assuming it's an 18 year old. He never said how old he is.

Zilog

4/21/17 3:28pm

Doubt they can enforce a contract signed by a minor.

CougarThug

4/20/17 4:52pm

Did she use her own name or your name to buy the phone and sign the contract?

Gerald-DeGroot

4/20/17 5:05pm

I bought a cell phone when I was 16 as well.

jensen46

4/21/17 7:12am

Buying the phone itself is fine but I don't think a minor can sign a binding

Exactly. That's what I meant by binding. Sorry if that wasn't clear

if a parent wants to restrict their child from smartphone access...that should

Not to the point where it should be illegal for them to buy one.

jensen46

is unfettered internet access a child's right?

ds7

It's nobody's right.
