How to convince my mom to get a new phone?

Question

I have a crappy flip phone that I have had for 5 years. It has soo much problems from battery lasting one when I'm not even using it to not receiving calls. She knows this and when I ask her she says ok but we never go to the Verizon store.  Half the time she says every smartphone is too expensive but we definately arent poor. Plus she has an iPhone 4s along with my dad. How is that fair? Im 16 now and have never had a smartphone. If Im gonna get a phone it would be the Samsung galaxy s3, but how do I convince her?

You're sixteen.  That's old enough to work in the US.  Get a job and save your money. I didn't have a phone when I was 16 and I got a pre-paid one.  I didn't ask for permission.  Of course it wasn't an iPhoneo or a smart phone.  But it did what I needed a phone for.  Good luck.

maybe tell your mom which you will cut up the fee such as you pay for 0.5 of it and he or she will pay for the different 0.5 if that doesnt paintings ask her that in case you get an A in some class then in case you may get it. desire that helps
