In just a couple weeks when school starts I will have a daughter that is a senior and who will also be driving. I have had it pretty easy and she has made it through the first few years of high school just needed an iPod to stay in touch with her friends. Since she will be driving I have been wanting her to have more than just an iPod. Since she is a beginning driver, I want her to have a cell phone just in case of any type of emergency. I remember when I was driving at 16 and got in an auto accident and had to go door to door to find a phone to call my mom for help. I don’t want that to ever happen to her.
The last couple months I have been looking around at different cell phone options that would be affordable for not only me but for my daughter. We have been looking at different #Phones4School. Last week I decided to go with with Walmart Family Mobile Plan. Not only do they have affordable rates, they have a phone on rollback right now that I couldn’t pass up.
Right now Walmart has the Alcatel One Touch Evolve Smartphone on a very GREAT rollback price of only $29.88. This phone is regularly priced at $79.88. This phone goes with the Walmart Family Mobiles that offers lowest priced UNLIMITED plans.
I don’t know about you but a smartphone for under $50 is pretty cheap. This one is even cheaper and under $30.
This phone is perfect for my daughter. It isn’t expensive so if she loses or breaks it, I am not going to be that upset. For those of you that have children that you want to buy a smartphone for, this is a great first smartphone for teens. The Alcatel One Touch Evolve is 3G capable, has a 5Mp camera, a 4″ touchscreen and the ability to send emails, text and surf the web.
If you have a teen that likes to text and surf the web, the Walmart Family Mobile works well because they offer unlimited plans at great prices. They also have no annual contracts, no credit checks and no deposit required. This network is through T-Mobile’s Nationwide Network that includes voice and text roaming with coverage reaching 280 million. For those looking for a plan with unlimited talk, text and & web there is a special promotion available. The Unlimited Talk Text & Web has been decreased from $39.88 to only $34.88/month. This price will remain the same for the life of the service plan for the primary line if purchased during (07/18/14 to 10/31/14).
Since I finally got out of my contract with my cell phone provider I have been looking at all of the others out there. So far I think the Walmart Family Mobile Plan is a great and affordable option, especially for those looking for a phone to send their children to school and college with. They have cell phone plans as low as $19.88/month depending on what you need. We started out with the best option for my daughter.

As a blogger, I absolutely NEED a high quality smart phone. The only problem is how much most providers want me to pay for using said smart phone. I’m headed to Wal-Mart to check out their plans.

That is a very great price on the phone and I think for a teen, you want to go cheaper since they are so rough on phones. Happy you found a great plan!
