No offense, but why in the hell does your 13yr old daughter need a cell phone at all? She's not even driving for 3 more years to justify having one in case her car breaks down. I have 3yr and 3 month old daughters, there's no way they're getting any kind of cell phone when they're 13. I can't think of one good reason a 13yr old should have one.

Here's one: My daughter has been invited to least 6 Bar Mitzvahs in the last 4 months. So far, she has borrowed my phone while attending each one. One time, I had to run a few errands so I was not reachable for a couple of hours should something have occurred. It would have been convenient for me if she had her own phone.

Don't get me wrong, if you have read my posts in this thread you will see that I am pretty much in your camp on this one.
