Abstract
Mobile phones play a significant part in young people's lives for creating and maintaining social networks, coordinating daily activities and accessing services. The mobile also provides a sense of parity among peers. Yet, the very same technology exposes young people and sometimes their families to a new set of problems and risks. Phone debt, 'bill shock', disconnections, lost and damaged phones; are just some of the issues affecting the ability to stay in touch.
