***For Christmas, as part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias/ #cbias, I surprised my son with the lowest price rate plan and a phone from Walmart Family Mobile***
You may recall about a month ago how I talked about the best wireless and unlimited plans from Walmart Family Mobile in my Unlimited Plans are the Best Surprises post. Mark and I had decided that it was time for our youngest son to have a cell phone. He had been wanting one for quite some time, but we had been putting it off because we didn’t want a contract or any hefty price plans.
When we discovered #FamilyMobileSaves with no commitment, we decided to go for it.
Purchasing the phone was the easy part. There were lots of great options. We chose the Concord smartphone for it’s simplicity and price. It’s perfect for a first-time cell phone user. Hiding it and keeping it a secret for a whole month wasn’t so easy, but luckily we managed.
On Christmas Eve morning, I opened the phone. Activation was a breeze. I simply went to the Walmart Family Mobile site and followed the instructions. In less than 10 min, I was in business. The site also makes it easy to access and manage all my account information.
I knew I that in order to keep him unaware of the surprise, I’d have to be sneaky with the wrapping. I saved an empty oatmeal can, stuffed it with some old plastic, put the loose phone in it, added more plastic and then wrapped as usual.
Now the really fun part. I don’t know who was more excited when he opened his gift, him, me or his sisters.
The Concord smartphone and Walmart Family Mobile unlimited, no contract plan was such an exciting gift for a few reasons:
- It was something he really wanted
- It was totally unexpected
- It’s an affordable / lowest price rate plan
If those weren’t reasons enough, it’s already improving our lives. Here’s why:
- He can easily keep in touch with friends and family. He’s already been talking to his older brother more and some of his friends over Christmas break {and during summer break it’s going to be a breeze for him to make plans}
- I can get a hold of him when he’s out running the neighborhood {a huge improvement from me yelling at the top of my lungs out the back door in hopes he’ll hear me}
- He can finally say he has a phone. I know that may sound silly, but that’s pretty important when you’re in sixth grade and your friends all have them already.
Needless to say he loves his new phone! He was already too busy texting to keep still for a photo!
Thanks to #FamilyMobileSaves , my son had a pretty awesome Christmas!
Who do you know that would love a phone as a gift? Or perhaps you have a friend or relative that needs great coverage without the huge monthly bill?
Walmart Family Mobile has a phone to fit everyone’s needs and the lowest price rate plan around, making it the perfect gift!
