There should be some privacy involved. I can see where the parent is coming from, but growing up, many of friends who became "rebellious" were the ones with overbearing parents. Privacy would allow him to go out, make some mistakes sure, but hopefully learn from them. That in and of itself is more valuable than the phone, and the rules with nothing in it for the kid doesn't seem realistic. Yes, there's the phone, but that's then contradicted by her saying that she paid for it, it's hers and she's loaning it to him.
