I could set up a second user. But anytime she wants to make a call or write a text, she has to ask for permission of the administrator of the phone (which would be me). But how can I give these permissions???
Thanks a lot!
Found the solution.
As phone administrator you have to go to account settings, other accounts. There is a little settings icon near the name of the other users; there you can allow to use messages and phone.
Just in case someone else will have the same problem :-).
