I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Zact. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating
Many tweens and teens will be asking for a smartphone as the #1 item on their holiday wish-list. As parents, we want to give them the independence of having a mobile phone without the worry of overuse, excessive texting and data bills... let alone we want them to be safe!
My daughter is on a traveling soccer team, thus she travels all over the place to play. Although I really don't want her having a phone at this age, I understand the importance of her being able to contact us! So of course entrusting her with a phone is not my only concern. I have concerns about her mobile usage and the risks associated with smartphones. In this day and age you can never be too safe!
I recently learned about Zact, a no contract nationwide mobile service. They offer a smart and affordable option by giving parents the ability to customize their child’s plan and set up parental controls. I can set up her amount of text and data usage as well as set curfews, such as at homework, meal and bed times.
Not only are the parental controls great, but the average monthly bill is only $22! If your kids asking for a smartphone this holiday season then check out Zact Mobile!
