I don't really see why this effects anything because you could use PayByCash or also buy subscriptions using SMS which most "kid" have access to.

Which most "kid" don't pay for, so you're still going to need permission.

They may have access to it, but I'm pretty sure their parents would kick them in the ass for it without permission. It's not their money to spend.

No kid with access to SMS is going to be punished for using it, that's a risk the parents take when they buy them a phone and pay the bills for it.

Oh really, so you wouldn't be upset if your child racked up a $500 phone bill from buying gelats? It's different if they ask, but if it was done without my knowledge I'd be pretty angry. Please don't say, "Maybe they shouldn't have text messaging." Besides, I wouldn't let my kid have a cell phone if he/she wasn't paying for it or working it off somehow. I'd like to be able to trust my child.

It's not really the amount that matters, it's the fact that it could be done, and the principle of the matter. Even if it was $50, wouldn't you be upset your child didn't ask for permission?

Kids rack up phone bills all the time, and stupid parents pay for them.

I was just replying to the fact that you said no kids get punished for using SMS in a manner that it wasn't intended for. It's on the plan to text message, not to buy crap with. I know companies love the fact that they can charge over SMS just for those unsuspecting parents. I'd never let my kid have a cell phone on my plan again. I just find your logic unreasonable. No one gets punished for it? Please.

I have no idea about your guys' parents, but my parents would be very upset if I ran up a huge phone bill using my SMS service in order to pay for Graal.
