Are you ready to explore mobile phone service options for your kids?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Children are getting phones at younger and younger ages because parents understand the benefits of getting mobile service for them. Why are parents moving toward evaluating mobile phone service options for their kids? Safety and security are always at the top of the list. Parents and children both need to know that they can get in touch when they need to.<\/p>\n

How Twigby Can Help<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At Twigby, our mobile service is designed to be flexible by allowing you to tightly manage your child\u2019s or tween\u2019s use<\/a>. By offering ways to keep the cost low, while retaining control of both what they use and how they use it, Twigby takes care of the biggest concerns. A popular feature used by parents is to restrict kids to only use Wi-Fi by choosing the No Data plan option to avoid using any cellular or mobile data. It\u2019s a natural limit!<\/p>\n

You Can Eliminate Cellular Data Charges<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Normally, kids don\u2019t use many minutes unless they call Mom or Dad often (which is unlikely unless, of course, they want something). Texting is more popular. According to Mashable<\/a>, the average teenager sends\u00a0thousands of texts each month!<\/p>\n

However, data usage is a different story. Unlike calling and texting, data can be consumed quickly<\/a>, or worse,\u00a0unintentionally! Kids are kids and don\u2019t always make the smartest choices, so falling asleep while watching a YouTube video on a repeat loop is not out of the question. If that happens, then data charges could pile up.<\/p>\n

With Twigby mobile service, you can choose a talk and text plan for as low as $9 per month. They can still use WiFi, which is free and is available<\/a> at\u00a0most of the places they visit, but they\u2019re prevented from running up a large and unexpected bill for data usage. You can also add or delete a data package at any time on a month-by-month basis, never having to wait on a long contract before changing data options. Plus, with free\u00a0Overage Protection<\/a>, we\u00a0 guard your wallet from hefty overages. Flexibility is a huge advantage when considering the kind of mobile service you should invest in for your kids\u2019 first phone experience.<\/p>\n

Phone Choices \u2013 Easier Than You May Think<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We know what kids want, but it may not always align with the budget of their parents. There are lots of cool\u00a0phones<\/a> to choose from that kids will get excited about, but for a first phone, price and usability are top priorities for parents.<\/p>\n
