Disclosure: This is a sponsored post from Coupons.com. I love my daughter but the one constant argument we have (aside from cleaning her bedroom) is her cell phone.

We hate change but we decided that enough was enough and are moving her to a pre-paid plan. With numerous plans out there it's hard to choose where to go with our daughter's mobile plan but after numerous people Continue Reading
