Not to the point where it should be illegal for them to buy one.
Should it also be illegal for a minor to buy a computer?

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

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

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

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

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

Are we talking about "some guy" or minors?

T-Moble should be held accountable the contract.

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

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

Wrong.

Can a 16 year-old enter a legal contract?

they don't have contract anymore

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

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

She signed a contract.

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

What is the contract, what are the terms?

Buying anything for cash involves a contract
Jesse Pinkman

No
Jesse Pinkman
4/20/17 3:34pm
No. In all states you need to be 18 to sign for yourself. Under age signers require the signature of their guardian

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

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

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

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

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

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

The hardware often is on installments/contract, right?
CosmoK

that is a contract from the wireless perspective at least

Nope. It's on her and her parents.

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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