Never lose your phone again!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sprint for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

I am super excited to share the new Sprint Total Equipment Protection App with my fellow Sprint customers.  As a dedicated Sprint customer for the last 5 years, and a mom of two tweens who are on our Sprint family plan this app means a lot to me!

Meet the Sprint Total Eqipment Protection app, aka TEP.  With this app, users have the ability to locate a phone, sync phones, remote wipe the phone, lock the phone and sound an alarm.


Ahem….I have children who have lost phones.  I am pleased to know that we will not have to worry about this anymore!

For those customers who enrolled in the TEP within 30 days of activating their phone, you can download and use this app at no additional cost.

If you didn’t enroll in t he TEP program, have no fear!  Sprint is holding an Open Enrollment from August 1-30 to allow you to add it to your phone!  Just visit www.tepenroll.com

I’ve already downloaded and installed the app on all of our phones since we are all Android users and suggest you do the same and save yourself the headache should you misplace your phone!  

Check out this video for more details!

All You Need

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Again, I am a parent who is all about teaching kids responsibility.  One way we have done this in our home is by purchasing prepaid phones such as the Straight Talk 2, for our children prior to adding them to our personal celluar plan.

Every time one of them wanted to call a friend they had to make sure that they did it from their own phones.  We taught them that they needed to be responsible for their phones and that they also had to earn their minutes.  

The nice thing about this phone is that there is no contract, no surprise bills, and no credit check needed.  No need for a salesman to reel you in hook, line and sinker and get you to purchase a phone with a fancy plan and all of the bells and whistles to go with.

We found that this type of phone offers everything you need including a camera, touch screen and more. Each phone has something to offer every need.  Just check out the video below!

As you can see, Straight Talk has affordable plans and leave you free of the activation, reactivation and termination fees making it the best type of phone for the pre-teen or teen in your life!

Just remember, mom knows best!!
