If he's got his own job and paying it completely out of his own pocket, by all means he's entitled to do so, unless the purchase requires him being 18+ or something for the plan, in which I have no idea about it, but I would presume that the minimum age to sign up for a phone contract is probably 18 in the states, note that I am NOT referring to prepaid phones right now.
Guys think back to when you were a kid and you wanted that Atari/NES or GI Joe action figure, or that old computer, or that dog, or that playskool cookhouse, or that big big powerwheels jeep. You saw the big fat $200 on the price tag, you yanked your mom or dad's shirt to get their attention and pointed at your desired possession. You remember your mom and dad saying "no, next time honey/buddy". And you went home dissappointed and sat in the car pouting.
Now, reverse that around and say you had $200 you earned from working somehow, now do you feel your purchase is justifiable?
With that point being said.
I'm still wondering, what provider Mockingbird is going for or if he's going for an unlocked phone - certain providers can't use some phones if they're locked for that carrier. (Ie, locked AT&T Phones can't use Tmobile service, vice versa).
An unlocked cellphone will allow you to use any provider regardless of whom it is, as long as you have a service in that sim card. You could even pop in your friend's sim card.
