If you have tween and teen children like me, I am sure you hear lots of wants for a new cell phone. Right now I have two daughters that would LOVE to have a cell phone, especially with school starting. For some phone plans, to have 2 additional lines for my two oldest daughters could be a little costly. This would be especially true if I put them on a plan that was not unlimited. I know how much I text and use the internet on my SmartPhone, I can’t imagine the damage that my daughters could do in just one month of playing with a phone.

So this Wednesday I had a Meet and Greet at my local MetroPCS store with 3 wonderful ladies and my daughter Hailey to talk about the Metro PCS plans, the phones and also about the advantages of our children using cell phones. My meeting with them was really fun and I appreciate the information I was given from each of these ladies on all the topics we covered. Thanks Moriah, Noelle and Chantille for the fun little coffee break! I learned quite a few things that I didn’t know about the MetroPCS services.

At my meet and greet, one of the phones we discussed was the Samsung Admire. This is a brand new phone that is coming out to MetroPCS that has been created for those with a budget and geared towards students.  This Samsung Admire is operated with the Android operating system that allows access to a large number of applications, including social media and games for the Android Market. .The Samsung Admire comes equipped with midrange specs including an 800MHz CPU, 3.5-inch HVGA display, 3.2 megapixel camera and Android operating system already pre-loaded. This phone is perfect for the first time smartphone users!

Today, things have definitely changed since I was a child. When I was in high school, I thought it was cool to have a pager. Now if you are in junior high or high school, it is cool to have your own cell phone, especially a smart phone that has access to the internet. With our children having phones, we have access to them at all times. With the GPS features in some of these newer phones, we have the options to find out just where our children are located! There are quite a few apps for cell phones that you can use to “Request a Check-In”  from another user which means that parents can request a check in from their child to see just exactly where they are at. This is just one advantage of course!

Right now MetroPCS is having a Back To School Now promo that you might want to take advantage of. If you are in the market for a new cell phone, they are currently offering some awesome bargains on some of their most popular cell phones. With the promotion, you can save $50 instantly on the Huawi M835, LG Optimus M, Kyocera Torino and the Samsung Freeform III. If you are looking for something more fancy, you can save $100 on the Samsung Galaxy Indulge.

What I like about MetroPCS is that they offer unlimited plans starting at only $40 per month with NO CONTRACTS. I don’t know about you, but $40 per month for a cell phone with an unlimited plan sounds pretty affordable to me!
