I added it to mine when YD had one of the phones, because she kept
running up $50-$200 just in text msgs... and still hasn't paid up.
When she lost her phone, I took YS in to the phone store, he bought a
phone, and we had that number put on his phone. <shrug> He pays his
way. She parties away her $$$.
