I am participating in a sponsored campaign with AT&T. All opinions, including all the uses we’ve found for the GoPhone, are my own.
“Mom, how did people settle arguments before they had Google?” my daughter asked. The kids had a slight disagreement while we were at the mall, both thinking they were right over a trivia question. My son whipped out his phone and told me, “I’ll find out the answer!” Sadly, I don’t think either of them were correct. As my kids have gotten older giving them a cell phone like the AT&T GoPhone gives me piece of mind. While we were shopping everyone wanted to hit a different store. After I finished shopping I simply called the kids and asked them to meet me in the food court. This is so much easier than the method I had to do with my mom; set a certain time to meet back and then check my watch every few minutes to make sure I met her on time.
You may be wondering, Pam, how did an AT&T GoPhone help you survive the holidays? I would simply say, “Have you ever had a bored teenager on your hands?”
*The unlimited text feature allows him to keep up with his friends and keep in contact with me
*The unlimited data usage allows hit to download apps and games; keeping him happy on long car trips
*The unlimited talk allows me to call him to check up on him whenever I want.
*There’s also unlimited texting to Mexico, Canada and over 100 other countries (Unfortunately I did not get to out of the country for Christmas, but I can always dream!)
*There’s no contract, which makes me happy. I can purchase the $45 a month plan that includes all of the above features and 1 GB of high speed data
We also received a package of goodies to help us survive the holiday, which were scooped up by my children as soon as they saw them, including earphones (for some reason they want to listen to their own music instead of me singing 80’s tunes) and a portable speaker (because they are happy to share my tunes with me.)
Having an AT&T GoPhone helps my kids stay connected to me year round, not just throughout the holidays!
My mother-in-law just got a AT&T GoPhone for Christmas! She loves it!
Thanks for the great review on the AT&T GoPhone! I had not heard much about it until now. i definitely can see this as a great way to save some money.
I want a mono pod so bad! I see many people using them to take the best photos! I also like the blue lego looking power grid. Very nice stuff.
I remember when Go phone’s first came out. They were big and clunky. The program sure has come a long way.
that looks like a great phone!!! We may be getting our oldest a new one. I will have to look at this when the time comes.
This is a great option for those on tight budgets! Looks like the phone has great features too
This sounds like a really great phone and plan, especially for someone on a budget. Thank you so much for sharing.
This phone sounds perfect for kids and adults alike. Has some nice features and a great plan. I am not sure what is more important to kids…taking pictures or playing games. It would be a good poll question. LOL
This sounds like a great phone and I like that it has no contract. It would be perfect for my teenage niece’s.
My first cell phone ever when I was 16 was from AT&T. I haven’t used them since 🙁 Perhaps it’s time to go back!
When my kids are old enough I’d love to get them something like this. The ability to refill is nice.
This sounds like a great phone! I love that no contract is required. I’ll have to recommend this to my step-nephew. It would be a perfect solution for him.
No contract is awesome! That phone seems to do everything, wow!
I need to improve my phone situation. Hopefully in 2015 that situation can improve.
I have been really looking into getting a new phone, this surely looks good to me!
No contract sounds pretty good to me! I have ATT now but in a contract
I love the no contract idea of a cell phone. I hate being locked into a cell provider and not being able to change without a huge financial hit. Thanks for sharing.
That sounds like a great phone! My daughter is getting ready to start sports now that she is in middle school, and we will be needing to get her a phone to keep in touch with us. We will be adding the GoPhone to our list of options!
My phone looks very similar. I do love the big screen! The bills are affordable too.
I like this idea of the refill card because you can use your minutes, etc at your leisure and not loose them if not used in a certain amount of time.
That is an awesome little goody bag. As a daily vlogger, I’d love that mono pod.
I use what’sapp to text to my family in Canada because it’s a heck of a lot cheaper.
This is such a great deal! I will have to remember this when our contract is up.
Have you tested that mono pod yet?
I don’t have kids, but I do know they get bored super quickly! And everyone definitely wants to hear their own music, my nieces and nephews are the same way!
No contracts are the best contracts! My niece has this phone and it’s perfect for her.
This sounds like a really nice option. Those are some super useful goodies that came with it!
Sounds like a really decent phone! I haven’t hear do this before but sounds like the perfect idea for my preteen! No contracts is a huge plus!
I never heard of this, I bet it is perfect for a teenager. My oldest two boys were in highschool when they got their first cell, many years ago LOL. Sounds like a good plan.
This is the type of phone I’d like to get my girls when they are older. Loving there are no contracts as well.
This looks like a pretty good idea. Not tied down to contracts but yet in emergencies, you have it all.
I love the fact that there’s no contract involved. Cell plans are still so expensive!
I love the ATT Go Phone. I’m not an ATT customer but I like this phone because it requires no contracts – which is awesome.
What a great sounding phone and tariff – I wish they did all these things when I was a teen! x
Texting to other countries is such a great idea. And, I really like the no contract!!
I am in a 2 year contract now and I can’t wait to be out of it. I love no contract things like this!
You thought of everything, huh? That phone sounds pretty darn awesome.
