Gosh darn KIDS!!!
I'm sure many mothers/fathers let their children use their iphone, android, and smart phones to entertain them. My toddler had my phone and he brought a racing game!! It cost me 6.99 for one lousy game. I'm upset, but not angry, spending my hard earn money, lol. Does anyone know if there is a way to lock out the phone from purchasing games.
I know some of you would say, don't let him use it, and I can, but there are many games on there that he can play with while I shop.

If it is possible, I'm sure you can find information by doing a search.
Don't worry about what people think. They don't do it very often.

Contact your provider and block "third party billing" from you phone.
Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one's watching

if an iphone:
settings
general
restrictions
click on Enable Restrictions (use will need a passcode)
than turn off the ones like itunes, installing apps, in-app purchases. I read in the paper a few weeks ago that some games have purchasing within the game app and will automatically charge you if you click the right thing. IE: a smurf game where you click on wagons of smurfberries
Let me find the link to the story
Top In App Purchases:
1 BUCKET OF SMURFBERRIES $4.99
2 BUSHEL OF SMURFBERRIES $9.99
3 BUCKET OF SMURFBERRIES $4.99
4 BARREL OF SMURFBERRIES $24.99
5 BUSHEL OF SMURFBERRIES $11.99
6 WAGON OF SMURFBERRIES $99.99
7 WHEELBARROW OF SMURFBERRIES $49.99
8 WHEELBARROW OF SMURFBERRIES $59.99
9 BARREL OF SMURFBERRIES $29.99

It's funny watching him play the phone though. He's like a little adult. He knows how to unlock the phone, which buttons to push to get to the game he likes and he knows how to put the apps on the desktop screen so he can access it. I have the droid 2 phone, so I think I might just call the phone provider.
Thanks for all of your responses.

I think that's fairly normal to let children play iwth the phones. My grandson loves playing on mine. He loves Angry Birds but there are others he plays too. He is 6. I didn't know about him being able to easily buy games. I haven't noticed that he has.

I agree. When you said toddler I was thinking in the 2 year old range.
