We are about to go through a huge transition in our home as our teenage son is about to start High School. Communication is going to become even more important as his new school is across town, it is no longer across the street, as it has been for nine years.
Where are you, what are you doing, and who are you with are the texts that I am going to need answers to, on a daily basis! I can no longer run around the corner to see if he is in the basketball court at his middle school or the local coffee shop hangout.
Do you have an after school activity today? What time is it done? Will you be home for dinner, which is really, what time will you be home for dinner? Lastly, don’t be mad at all these texts because you know they are sent every day, so have your answers ready!
Oh yeah, and where did you go for lunch and what did you eat? This will be the first time in his life he goes out for school lunch. I envision this to be the picture of him texting me so he can tell me what he bought for lunch, what he is eating, and how healthy he feels from eating the right foods.
So our smartphones are going to be key tools for us parents to keep communication lines open in this big city!
An expensive data plan is one less thing a parent should have to worry about, and as the parent of a teenager, I know I need a good data plan. So what do I do? I can’t delete all of the apps on his phone, I cannot live in denial about his data usage thanks to his constant social media updates, and I cannot restrict his data, or at the end of the day I won’t be able to use any of my three tracking apps!
So like all the other parents getting ready for school, we are looking for the best data plan and Straight Talk Wireless is the leading no-contract wireless carrier, offering customers the best phones on the best networks for less. The best for less is my favorite way to shop:
-Best Networks: Straight Talk offers nationwide coverage on America’s largest and most dependable networks.
-Best Phones: With Straight Talk, you can choose from the latest phones on the best networks, all for less – including the Samsung Galaxy S8.
-Best Deals: With Straight Talk, there are no contracts, no credit checks and no mystery fees.
With unlimited plans at $45 and $55, you can save on your monthly phone bill and get great deals on the best phones. Right now you can get unlimited talk, text and the first 8GB of high-speed data then 2G* for $45, or bump it to 12GB of high-speed data then 2G* for $55.
I pay less for the same networks! I pay less for the best smartphones! And what a pleasure it will be, not be locked into a phone plan until my son goes to college! No more fights about data overage that costs so much we have to dip into his college fund! I am thrilled to send my son back to school with Straight Talk Wireless since they just added more high-speed data to their best phone plans.
More high-speed data for the same low price with the latest smartphones is even more important for him in High School because I know my son will spend all of his data on learning Math through new apps, using an on-line dictionary for help in Language Arts, and studying more Science with all this extra and affordable data! I guess that is what he is doing here, using his phone to study:
