Kids these days are a privileged lot – I remember when I was much younger (and cellphones weren’t so popular back then), I had to rely on the public phone booth to make a call. These days, tiny terrors tote around handsets worth more than a PS3, putting me and my trusty old Nokia 8850 to shame. The TicTalk cellphone for kids is a fully working GSM/GPRS handset, and features a pay-as-you-go rate plan that averages out to $25 for every 100 minutes. The parent can limit the number of minutes a child can use daily as well as monitor a pre-approved phone book, ensuring they won’t call strange numbers without your prior approval. Each TicTalk retails for $99 and comes with a set of educational Leap Frog games for teaching math, spelling, science and social studies.
