Unsure about present DS13 received for his birthday

[Fuzzywuzzy]

I think it's only the sim card that has to be registered

[Catastrophic]

Ahhh that does seem a little exxy for a gift. considering you said this friend isn't a "best friend"
I would talk to the mother let her know your concerns of recieving such an expensive gift.
What does your DS think about it?

And you can buy a phone without registering it. And then ring up when you get home and register it, from what i beleive.

Wow, that is an expensive and odd gift.

I love my friends, but I only spend about $100 on a wedding gift, not anywhere near that on birthdays.

I'm with the other ladies, I would speak to the mother and explain that although you are grateful, the fact the the phone is $170 makes you a little uncomfortable.

Also, all phone have an IMIE?? number. Phones that are stolen and reported to the police have that number reported and are permanently blocked, i.e. unable to be used.

I would be just asking the mother where the phone came from.

So difficult.

Maybe the family was regifting it to your son. They might have got the phone free on a 2 for 1 deal or something???
