Back in MY day we used up all of our phone plan money because we accidentally clicked on that stupid browser icon and loaded a website for half a second. Oh the terror

When bus cards first came out you could buy things from the dairy with them. Adults quickly realised how stupid that idea. I had friends who spent the entire months bus money on snacks after school then walked 2 hours to get home. They didn’t even complain, it was a good trade in their mind.

That’s an awesome trade as a kid tbf, would’ve done that too x3

Im not sure if this is an option everywhere, but in my country you can add your phone provider to google play as mentioned

So if you had nicer parents that topped your plan off for one of the more expensive plans what you could do was get a cheaper one, and spend the leftover on in-game purchases or whatever through google play :3… phone plans were also how all the illegal irl item trades in mmos were done ^^

Don’t worry they will find a way to institute overdraft and make you responsible for the fees.

“But no worries! We added parental controls” Yet another thing for overwhelmed parents to manage and stay informed about. Another one of those things that impacts people that are already struggling the most.

Also parental controls are ass. Yes you can block (most) pornography but you can’t tell a social media app to not blast a teenager with misinformation. It’s like a playground but with glass shards everywhere. You can forbid the kid from playing there altogether but they’d feel excluded while all their friends are having fun. Somehow there doesn’t seem to be an option to remove the fucking shards though.
