Wonderful. Thank you so much.

LOL!  I think that's one of the best answers received so far.  We parents need to learn how to outsmart our kids, and teach one another how to do so with this sophisticated technology.  Now, if her Smart Phone could just help get her homework done and make her smarter, I wouldn't feel so bad.

@Budone - actually my DROID Razr has a feature that allows me to hide apps.  I believe her DROID Incredible has the same feature.  I just don't think she's that technologically astute to know what the apps is or how to unhide it.  If an SMS Backup apps is installed, don't think she'll know unless something pops up indicating that her messages are being forwarded.  Disabling text messaging isn't an option.  Kinda defeats the purpose of her having the ability to communicate with her friends/family.  I'm tied to a 2-year contract paying an outrageous $217/month for two phones both with data packages so canceling the phone isn't an option right now.  Next time I'll got with TMobil (Can you hear me now Verizon?  LOL) where I can easily cancel the contract, if need be.

LOL!  Too funny.  Then I definitely won't mention when I graduated.
