If your Tween is Ready for a SmartPhone your Best Bet is a ZACT MOBILE Child Phone

January 14, 2014 by Melissa Chapman 2 Comments

I can’t deny one fact, my eight year old knows more about technology than I do.

Eight year old Jackson is VERY excited to FINALLY have his own PHONE! A ZACT MOBILE Pre-laoded with Disney APPS!

He also knows how to work my smartphone better than I do. And when we are driving in the car, he is forever playing on apps which he has installed (on his own) on my phone. And it’s not that I don’t love having 5,000 apps on my phone- but as a mama I really wanted to be able to give him his own device without making a major commitment to it. I also wanted a device that I could control.

I want to give him the independence of having a mobile phone without the worry of overuse, late-night texting, expensive monthly bills, or other safety issues associated with smartphones. ENTER the PHONE OF MY DREAMS: Zact Mobile, a no-contract nationwide mobile service(now available with pre-loaded Disney apps), which offers a smart and affordable option for families with the ability to customize a child’s plan and set up parental controls.

Every Tween will LOVE their ZACT Mobile phone PRE loaded with DISNEY goodies!!

Recently awarded the National Parenting Center seal of approval, Zact Mobile gives parents true peace of mind. Keep reading for just   a few reasons why Zact is the safest and most innovative smartphone service available today:

Zact Mobile

Built-in Parental Controls: Zact Mobile functions like an allowance where parents can easily decide how much talk, text or data is given to their child depending on their age.  Parents can set restrictions on who children can contact or be contacted by, the amount of time spent texting, plus time spent browsing the internet, and ability to control which apps can be used.

Check out the video below for more detailed information!

Zact Control.  The new Zact Control app allows parents to keep their existing phone, download an app, and have remote control of a child’s Zact smartphone.

Significant Savings. Plans on Zact start as low as $3.49 per month. With Zact Mobile, parents can tailor the data plan month to month, without a contract. A money back credit applies automatically to the next month’s service if you’ve bought too much service.

Even More Savings! Zact Mobile is available on Zact.com. In addition Zact is also available at Best Buy Mobile, in all store locations listed on  BestBuyMobile.com. The best part: when purchased in a Best Buy Mobile Store, Zact will give customers the  first four months of service free (a value of $100)!

Zact Mobile is the perfect  smart phone for your tween!

The 4-inch ZTE Awe sports a 5-MP camera and runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The device will come preloaded with titles such as “Toy Story: Smash It!” and “Disney Infinity: Action!” as well as Disney Video, Disney Music and the Spanish language  Disney ¡Ajá!.

If you are in the market for a smart phone I would DEFINITELY recommend checking out A ZACT MOBILE phone   free four-month child starter plan is also included with the purchase, which includes 100 minutes, 100 texts and 100MBs of data per month.

    That’s such a smart idea for younger kids I hadn’t even heard of Zact Mobile before, and the built-in parental controls sound like a lifesaver. For older kids though, I think it gets trickier because they usually want something flashier. I was looking at the Vivo V26 Pro the other day on Whatmobile, and while it’s obviously not for an eight-year-old, it made me realize how many different options there are now depending on age and needs. It’s nice to know there are phones designed for both safety and performance.

    It’s amazing how quickly kids pick up on technology these days! My own eight-year-old can navigate a smartphone like a pro, and it makes me think about how to balance their independence with safety. That’s why I was thrilled to discover Zact Mobile, which offers great features for parents looking to give their tweens their first phone without the usual worries. If you want to learn more about it, check it out here: https://spinmama.pl. With Zact, you can set limits on calls, texts, and apps, and it’s reassuring to know that there are built-in parental controls. It’s like giving them freedom while keeping the reins in your hands!
