Why I am Thankful for my Samsung Galaxy SIII from Verizon

As you all know, we recently moved into our new home.  Things have been crazy around here.  It took us almost a week to move everything out of our rental home and into our new forever home.

On our 3rd day in our new home, we had an appointment to have cable installed.

Yes, we were finally going to have TV to keep the 4 year old Alexander entertained while we continued to move and unpack the house.  Little did I know that when I placed the order for cable that I was misinformed and that the Basic cable package we had decided to have installed only contained 13 channels!

AHHHHH!!!

Only having 13 channels meant that we lacked Nickelodeon, Disney, the Cartoon Network….you know, all those channels that little 4 year old boys love!

Thanks to my Samsung Galaxy SIII and my Netflix account, my dear sweet little Alexander was able to enjoy his favorite shows by watching them right on my phone!

I love that there is a Netflix app (downloadable for FREE in the Android Market Playstore) and it is great how well the picture quality is on the phone.  It also really helps that the Verizon network is super fast and the video isn’t always buffering as it does on my Galaxy SIII on another network.

Thank you Verizon, Samsung and Netflix for allowing me to provide my son with his beloved Power Rangers and Transformers to keep him entertained during our hectic move!

All You Need

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!!
