I'm a little confused..
If he has no money, PAYG sim cards, no phone, then if one of us kindly gave him a handset, or he got money to buy one real cheap, how would he be able to afford to call/text his family/friends? Surely he'd have no money to top it up?
Maybe you should just save your money.. you might need it someday.

1) I didnt jump to conclusions, I just think that his story doesnt add up, he refered to his parents in the plural throughout the entire thing, and now he doesnt have a mom.
2)His dad is the only source of income (unless he has a job) and he uses the internet etc, apparently frequently too.
3) If he could afford to pay the bill, lets say 20 quid a month, then within a month he should have a phone.
4) Compromising your integrity before taking all other possible options is idiotic.
5) About me and the age thing, I think that some kids are too spoilt these days, especially if they would rather beg online then get a job for a week.

Its also hard for young children getting killed abroad in countries suffering from internal conflicts, or children starving to death. I just think kids are getting too caught up in owning the latest phone etc, and should be appreciative of what they've got.

I agree with djkizliv. If he hasnt got any money then how can he top his phone. Also he says he has some sims, why doesnt he sell them and save that money. At the begining he says he wants someone to give him 1 with colour screen and gprs if poss, well id rather sell mine and have money myself coz he can live without a phone, if it was to keep a family alive abroad i would donate it. I am only 16 and all i get is £5 a week paperound coz i dont finish school for few weeks but i have had many phones and i currently use a nokia 7600 and have a £112 graphics for my pc and thats only coz i got a paperound!

@andrewkeith: Go down to oxfam and look for one, if you are poor its you own problem, dont try and make people feel guilty about it, cause its certainly not my problem.
Im aware that im poor sh*t to other people, but i have pride and dont beg, and work for my money.
I could start a thread saying im 19 and im going to buy a Renault Megane worth 24000€ earning 800€/month, and that i need people to donate money to put to the car...

I agree with the top up question, however I think some people make stupid points such as
He has internet so how cant he afford a mobile.
Hmm... last time I checked AOL gives you free modem connections (start from 5 pounds a month) or you had internet in school.
Even if he was paying 16 pounds a month for broadband, what is he supposed to do, cancel the internet subscription to get the phone?
If he's begging so what? Does it affect you Yazan? Did you lose a leg?
Now you say there are people dieing of famine in third world countries but look, societies norms change from country to country.
In Indonesia, PCs are a luxury, where as here it's nothing special.
It's simple, if you dont have something to offer, too bad for him.
If you do, then ask questions, but dont start insulting.
(I imagine you'll say something like, I didn't insult him, but put it simply you implied he's an idiot that has no personal pride since he's begging)
*sighs* I hate it when threads get out of hand because one guy decides he's Morality Cop

@amnesia - totaly agree
@original poster - i don't actually have one my self, but if some were to give you any fone like a 1110 or 3310 would that do you ? You could at least call family and friends. |

I am merely stating that it is stupid for a 15 year old to beg for something as superfluous as a phone.
The internet statement, is only a peice of the puzzle, if you analyze his situation, internet access would be considered a luxury in his case.
Also I only stated the points that dont sound as logical, to show the ways that his case sounds fishy.
