How to get internet back on your phone?

How do I convince my dad to get me a phone with internet?

• I'm sixteen years old, my phone is at the end of its 2 year contract, and I really want a phone with internet service. When I'm not home, I don't have access to the internet and it's extremely inconvenient because I'm dieting and I need to know the nutritional value for foods, I need to know bus schedules for when I want to go somewhere, phone numbers for places, addresses for places I want to go, information I need to know on the spot, etc.. However my dad doesn't understand this (he doesn't have a phone with internet, and he doesn't think I need one either) and thinks that I barely go anywhere aside from school to begin with. He thinks that I want it out of vanity and his main gripe is the $30 monthly data plan that comes attached to the phone. How can I convince him that I really, legitimately need a phone with internet service?

• Answer:

  Your Father is right,when you are grown up,and you are able to spend your own money,that's the time to get the device you want,until then be grateful for a guy,who is willing to indulge you to a point,and to me lady you have reached it...your excuses are lame,they do not hold water,you do not need it,,,grow up girl...
