Great idea for getting her to manage her time and to become more responsible.
Of course, going this route is pretty much guarenteeing you a lot of "Daddy! I need more minutes!" nagging over and over 
Just don't get the girl a smart phone. That can be a present to her when she is making enough money to be dropping $60+ per month on a plan. |
I pretty much agree with Mumps here. However, if she wants to use more minutes then let her do extra chores or work or something for the money.
To everyone who has suggested that the girl pay for her own minutes or get a job - the girl is 14, most places won't hire anyone under 15. At least not here anyways, so that may not be an option regardless.
