The other day, my daughter’s cell phone was buzzing like a bee in heat. Why?\u00a0Well, it all started with the\u00a0group text message conversion she was having with two of her friends.\u00a0Munchkin had to get up to do something so she set her phone down on her bed and walked to another room. All of a sudden, it started to go crazy!<\/p>\n

Text Message Craziness<\/h3>\n

Apparently, her friends happened to get a case of the sillies and were sending text messages non-stop. Since the phone was set on silent,\u00a0I kept\u00a0hearing the muffled\u00a0buzz from it vibrating every other second.\u00a0I asked her to check\u00a0her phone to see what was going on. There were 27+ message notifications! What was so important? Here’s a portion of the conversation:<\/p>\n

\"Silly<\/p>\n

Uhm, yeah. That’s that happens when you give\u00a0some bored 13-year-old girls access to cell phones and the power of sending texts. Thank goodness we didn’t have a cap of how many messages were sent or were being charged per text. That was a long couple of weeks of winter break…<\/p>\n

AT&T GoPhone\u00a0Plan Benefits<\/h3>\n

I mentioned before how the AT&T GoPhone pre-paid plans are ideal for kids<\/a> entrusted with their first phones. You don’t have to have an annual\u00a0contract and the monthly refill plans are quite reasonable. On top of that, you don’t have any hidden fees when your kids get a little text message happy with their friends since nationwide\u00a0unlimited talk and text is included.<\/p>\n

The nice thing about this new $45 option<\/a> is that more data is included. Unlimited data usage with 1GB at 4G\/LTE high-speed\u00a0(data usage exceeding the high-speed allowance will result in reduced data speed of up to 128 Kbps for the rest of your 30-day term. Actual speeds vary by device and location)<\/i>\u00a0is plenty for the occasional connection online but will teach young ones to be conscious of their data usage when their allowance suddenly\u00a0slows to a snail’s speed.<\/p>\n

\"AT&T<\/p>\n

Are they not doing too well in wielding this cell phone privileges? Then just let their plan run out and only refill it when they deserve another shot to use it right. It’s a great training platform\u00a0without having to cost you an arm and a leg for irresponsible tween\/teen usage. GoPhone is compatible with most phones so it will even work with an older iPhone you might be passing down to them.<\/p>\n

Save on AT&T GoPhone Now!<\/h3>\n

You still have time to take advantage of the special going on now too. Get\u00a0$30 off\u00a0GoPhone smartphones over $99 and $10 off\u00a0GoPhone smartphones under $99 until\u00a0February 28, 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
