    Heheh that or I'd be eating a phone for dinner that night!

    Well I was cool for a short time with a work cell, a work pager and my own cell. The was no way to hide when you were on call!!!!
    well ma parents dont care about the bill they jus do about who im talkin to....even if ma bill cum up to 400 all they wanna knw is that who i was talkin to....i appreciate there concern n luv but sumtime i need sum kinda privacy...n even in ma private life i always keep ma parents in ma mind n take decisions...

    3. and for crying out loud, it's a phone call. if the parents will get that upset about a phone call, something is up with the person being called. and i don't think we should involve ourselves in that nonsense.

    my final thought: this person needs to talk to their parents!
    well...i love my parents and respect them as well....the only problem i got is that ma parents dont trust ma decisions...they have never did...n i knw at this point in life i am right....i dont wanna loose sumone jus cuz they think i cannot make good decisions...they r right at there place....ma parents say that girls r basically innocent and guyz r animal inside....girls gotta protect themselves...n i truly believe that i thank god that he have always protected me from this kinda crap...i mean guys n all....im in college knw i can make ma own decisions....i knw who is right for me n whos not..i jus wanna change ma position in ma parents' eyes...n if later on even after meetin the guy they will say that he is not the right person....ill back off i wont say a word against them cuz i knw they knw everything better then i do.....they have gone thru everything in life n i didnt even started yet.....so i am not decieving ma parents n besides that ma mom knws everythin....

    So in YOUR particular case, your options are very few, and they are in order..

    LIE

    Use someone else's phone to talk to the people your parents do not wish you to talk to.

    Talk to them anyway and deal with what happens when you do.

    Get your own phone in your own name, and start paying for your own apartment, food, bills, you know... life in general.

    Those four options pretty much cover it I think.

    There is of course a 5th option, but I know you would not care to hear abotu that one, but here it is anyway.

    Give up the cell phone and talk to them using pay phones.

    Hah!! My bro used the "I visit my sister's place a lot and there's no tower there" on his workplace.....

    .....they gave him a satellite phone....

    his response? "$300 a month on the company bill because I wanted to turn the ringer off when I was on the boat 10 miles from home"

    As a parent (even though he's way too young for a cellphone, though he does enjoy "talking" to the grammas on speakerphone) I'm with T-Mobile on the whole "If I'm paying I get the details" theory

    dontcha wanna be way cool with multiple cellphones ringing??

    That would be the best thing to do, but seems like the OP, ONLY wants an option to work around her parents knowing about the people she's calling on a phone "THEIR" paying for, when they get the bill. So the OP actually paying out of their own pocket... not likely to be happening for whatever reason the OP may have for not forking out the cash to do pay as you go.
