Default Kids Rack Up Debt With Text Messaging

http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000913027107/

"Young cellphone users caught on to text messaging way before most people but it looks like some kids didn�t realize the cost of their trailblazing. The New York Times talked to some that have racked up service charges in the hundreds of dollars, including one high-school student who got hit with a $150 bill � �I cried,� she said. �I felt like I lost a piece of me.� Wait a minute, we are talking about cellphone charges, right?"

Recently we were talking about a study that suggested limiting children's cell phone usage. Now New York Times has written up an article on how young users have racked up huge cell phone bills because of the text messaging craze. 8O
