My twin boys are almost 10 years old, and they’re already asking me for a smartphone! Of course, it would be nice to know that I could reach them easily when they’re at a friend’s house if they had a phone, but I’m just not sure that they’re old enough to be responsible for a phone. What if they run up the minutes or visit inappropriate sites on the Internet? However, I recently learned about Zact, a no-contract nationwide mobile service, which helps to address some of my fears. Their parental controls allow parents to easily set the amount of text and data usage as well as set curfews, such as at meal and bed times. And here’s another reason to love Zact: their average monthly bill is only $22! Other features include:
· - Zact is a no-contract smart mobile service with nationwide coverage that allows you completely customize and save, right from your device. With Zact you save big because you pay only for what you use, and you get money back towards your next month’s bill if you don’t use all of your service.
· - Any Zact plan is shareable. You can share the same pool of talk, text and date with your family without having to pay hefty line fees.
· - Zact helps give parents peace of mind by providing parent controls. You can set allowances on the amount of talk, text and data time. Plus set curfews (such as meal and bed times), set allowed or blocked contacts, and control which apps your child has access to.
· - Zact was recently awarded the seal of approval from The National Parenting Center and USA Today cites “New cellphone carrier Zact provides the most robust controls.” See USA Today article here: http://usat.ly/1bW6X7Y
