My son is turning 10 years old in just a few weeks and has been dying to get a cell phone. Everyday he is telling me that another kid in his classroom has one. My husband and I have been contemplating whether or not he is is old enough or even responsible enough. Having a cell phone is such a big responsibility, not to mention the expense involved. What if he goes over his minutes? What if he uses the internet on his phone and stumbles across something that is not kid appropriate? We have been tossing back and forth all of the pros and cons of purchasing a phone for him and I must admit, the con’s were out weighing the pro’s until now.

I recently found out about Zact. Zact is a  no contract smart mobile service with nationwide coverage that lets you completely customize and save – right from your device. The best part is that it works off of the Sprint Network which is actually the carrier that we use.Because it works off of the Sprint cellular and data network, Zact provides customers with nationwide coverage. The best part is that you pick your own voice, texting, and data plans à la carte.Check out this video and see the Zact phone in action:

This is just what we have been looking for! With Zact you save BIG because you pay only for what you use, and you get money back toward your next month’s bill if you don’t use all of your service. In fact, the average bill with Zact is $22 per month. any Zact plan is shareable.  You can share the same pool of talk, text and data with your family without having to pay hefty line fees. This would save our family so much money because we pay a hefty bill each month already.Zact gives parents peace of mind. My Favorite feature is the fact that you can set allowances on the amount of talk, text and data, set curfews, set allowed or blocked contacts, and control which apps your child has access to.

Until now, customers could only buy Zact online at their web site, but now they’ve partnered with Best Buy Mobile specialty stores to offer it exclusively in local stores – so now you get the benefit of seeing the products live and the guidance of the mobile specialists, Now available exclusively at Best Buy Mobile http://bestbuymobile.com/

They can even set up and activate your new phone, transfer your contacts and data and set you up with the complimentary Walk Out Working program.

I am super excited about Zact! It’s looks like my son just got closer to getting his cell phone!
