I know a family who needs to get a cell phone for their SN kid. The service they use is Verizon.
Does anyone know if there is a plan that will only allow specific numbers? Not only block the kid from texting/calling unapproved numbers, but also block unapproved numbers from calling/texting the phone?
And, it cannot be a phone that has Internet access of any kind.
It would probably also be good if it limited the minutes/texts, so that she can't go over whatever her families plan is.

There's a service called Firefly Mobile -- which has several phones targeted at kids, I think they only allow calls to and from numbers listed in the address book. They have monthly and pay-as-you-go plans. I haven't known anyone who had this, so I can't recommend or not recommend it, but it sounds like a great concept.[url=http://www.fireflymobile.com]Firefly Mobile: The Mobile Phone for Mobile Kids[/url]Verizon used to have a phone with only 4 buttons that called 4 pre-programmed numbers but I haven't seen that in a long time. If they want to stick with Verizon service, though, they could call and ask about that.

Verizon has usage controls for $4.99 extra a month. It allows the parent to limit the number of texts a month, up to 20 trusted numbers, limit hours the phone can be used etc. It's been a lifesaver for me and allowed my kids to have a cell phone to be able to contact only the people they need to get ahold of.
We have Verizon as well. My son has a phone which I have not enabled text or internet and can only get/receive calls from people in his address book. Others can leave a message but his phone doesn't ring.When I was looking many, if not most, phones allowed you to lock the dialing/receiving feature on the phone to include only the address book.Best of luck!
