Does anyone know if messages+ is traceable? I know on my old Droid Charge, it had a messaging thing, but only sent through data. Messages+ works through WiFi or data. If I send messages through it, will they show up on the bill?

I think that is carrier dependent - if they list the texts sent / received by number or as a total per line...

I am with VZW and I know on my bill, the texts are listed as totals by line.

Not sure if they have "itemized" billing on texts anymore...

You're grounded, why not accept the punishment and reflect on the cause!

Well then, move out, pay your own bills, buy your own phone and you won't need to worry about being grounded. Impoverished maybe, but not grounded.

I have a job, and all my money has been going into getting my car back on the road... Otherwise, I WOULD pay the $40 a month.

Yes, I get a daily email listing of my kids texts & phone calls which includes dates, times and numbers texted and called. I don't really need the lists but it's part of my Family Base feature where I manage our data safeguards.

As a parent who has been known to ground her children on many occasions, I would recommend having a conversation with your parents. Discuss the limits of your grounding and what you plan to do to fix or change things.

As a parent I don't really want to help, but I don't want to be someone who preaches my values on someone else. That being said, if you have an ipod or access to your phone, try an app called textfree. I haven't used it in years but it used to assign a phone number to your device allowing you to text via wifi on a device that didn't have a phone number associated with it. My daughter used it for years on her ipod touch with no connection to a carrier or any charges. If you stop using it for 30 days the number gets assigned to someone else.

A) is this available on Android?
B) can I use the same number I have, so my friends don't have to change my number temporarily?

The short answers are yes and no.
Like I said, I haven't used it in years but I just checked and it is available in the play store.
When I last used it you had to use the number they gave you.
