I'm not sure there's much you can do. If your mom doesn't want to pay for a data plan, you're screwed. Unless you find a way to pay yourself.

Your mother is the one paying for the phone right? If you want the phone and your mother won't pay for it, get a job and pay for the phone and the bill yourself.

To convince my mother I tell her I can pay for it myself, and she usually says "ok, whatever, as long as you pay for it."

Sometimes parents put their foot down and to get what you want you have to pay for it yourself.

Think of some real good reasons that youd need the data plan for. Like, google maps in case you get lost lol

What I'm gathering here is you don't wanna work for something you want and now you're throwing a prissy fit(in the wrong section) cause you can't get a cell phone. Be glad you fucking have a damn phone. I hate when kids want something so bad and get it then 3 weeks in hate it and want it to break which is what will happen with this phone probably. Take what you get or suck it up princess and get a damn job. Stop being a manipulative child and appreciate what your parents get you.

If your mother isn't willing to fork out the money to put you on a data plan (which is understandable) then quit whining get it yourself, if you really want it.
