You're doing burner phones wrong.

High end Satellite phones would be my guess.

iPhone XS Max 512GB costs $2k. Or an XS Max 256GB with Apple Care.

[johngenx]

Yup. It's possible to buy a two grand iPhone.

Wife's nephew texted us at 1:30AM this morning.    He's 9 years old FFS!

I'd be disappointed too. Most kids can do that by 4 years old.

We in the rest of the world, lose Daylight Savings (summer time) tomorrow. Ugh, getting dark at 1600 is gonna BLOW..... as if the lack of sun/grayness isn't bad enough as is.

Time changes next week (Nov 4) for us. I actually don't mind it as I prefer more/earlier daylight in the morning.

It's not the fact that he can text, but that he's enabled to stay up all night playing on his smartphone.  Maybe I'm just an old fart butdoesnt seem right to me. Not to mention the fact that in the text he was asking for $100 from us to buy some video game for his bday next week.

No nine years old should be up at 1:30am on his phone.

This just gets funnier. The kid has balls asking for cash for games. I'm going to text you tonight as I need bike parts. 

Seriously though. Maybe his parents don't know he is doing this. Things have changed. At one time kids would stay up reading comic books past their bed time.

Ok, that makes more sense because I remember listening to it in the '80s.

I remember when Augusta LaPaix was hosting BNW and then Brent tookover.  Did anyone else listen to Nightlines on Friday and Saturday as well?
