Sorry, he _____ help his mother.

A Manchester teenager has received a phone bill（账单） for over ? 420 after sending 3,800 text messages in just one month．

Tony Russell has had his new mobile phone for only one month, but now his father, Lionel, has taken it away．

“He's been asking me for a mobile for years because all his friends have got one,” explained Lionel．”I finally bought one for his birthday because he's been doing so well at school, but he and his friends are crazy about sending text messages．They do it all the time．They even text each other from different sides of the school playground．

Tony said, “I thought texting was much cheaper than phoning, so I've been texting my friends all day long and even into the early hours of the morning．I've been going to bed at 2:00 most nights．Sometimes my hand hurt because I pressed the buttons so much, but I was having such good fun that I couldn't stop!”

His father said, “I have forgiven him, but I am angry with the phone company as they are encouraging this crazy behavior．” He has made his son promise to pay back the money, so Tony has been working on Saturdays．He has found a job in a shoe shop．“I think it will take me about half a year to clear this debt（债务）,” he said．
