Sharing Data Now Easier Than Ever With Virgin Mobile #DataDoneRight #SprintMom #AD #IC

I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for Virgin Mobile USA which is one of Sprint’s prepaid brands. I received two Virgin Mobile smartphones to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Being a parent has it’s ups and downs, that’s for sure. I didn’t anticipate that my homeschooled 8 year old daughter would be literally begging me for a cell phone though…

I mean sure, maybe once I had pondered, “Hmmm, I wondering when is the right time to give a child a cell phone? Maybe when they start having sleepovers? When I leave her at dance class? Does she really need her own phone to be able to get in touch with me? Is she old enough? Responsible enough?!”

I think these days it’s an impossible subject to avoid. Sure I can hold off nitty gritty details of this birds and bees discussion, but a cell phone? This is a subject I’ve had to start dealing with NOW!

First thing that came to my mind was that she would absolutely have to EARN the right to even think about having one. I quickly started dreaming up ways of making her earn it and prove that she is responsible.

When asked if she wanted a weekly allowance or data for her cell phone so she could text friends, she quickly and emphatically chose data. Wow, kids these days, huh?

Thankfully, Virgin Mobile makes Data Done Right Plans that make sharing data and family cell phone plans easy as pie. Data Done Right Single Line and Multi-line Data Sharing plans are available exclusively at Walmart. Click here to find your nearest Walmart with Virgin Mobile phones.

Because data doesn’t grow on trees, Virgin Mobile has cleverly devised a nifty chore chart to make it super easy to get kids to earn their data. Let me tell you, this is extremely motivational for children! As they complete chores around the house, they quickly earn data for their phones. It’s a win-win situation for everyone. You suddenly won’t have to nag your kids to do their chores and they will happily do the tasks that need to be done to get what they want.

Your kids will love these phones too. No prehistoric flip phones here. These sleek touchscreen smart phones have cutting edge features, crisp images and a user-friendly interface. You can get phones like the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime or the LG Tribute 2. Both are extremely nice phones that your children will love using.

Important Tip:

Not everyone knows important things like how you should use WIFI whenever possible to conserve data. I had to explain this to my mother. She cut her data usage in half by making sure she connected to WIFI whenever possible. This is definitely an important tip to stress to your kids when you are sharing data in a family plan!

All phones come with the Virgin Mobile app pre-installed, which lets you buy data and international add-ons directly from the device itself. Every Multi-line plan comes with a free mobile hotspot feature that makes it easy to share data across your Wi-Fi enabled devices. With Virgin Mobile’s Data Done Right Multi-line Data Sharing plans, you get everything you need like being able to allocate a specific amount of data to each line, parental controls over each individual device so you can set a curfew and even certain restrictions on apps, plus no additional monthly line fees and no contract! All of this is made possible with the Virgin Mobile app on the phone and the awesome Sprint® Nationwide Network.

For your older kids and teens, you will love the fact that they can use popular social media and music streaming apps without data charges! For just $5 per month, they can use apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pandora as much as they want (unlimited!) without worrying about it using up to your family’s data.

Data hogs can be a real problem when you have a family plan, but luckily Virgin Mobile knows that and has taken measure to help you solve that problem FOR GOOD! Finally, sharing data doesn’t have to be a pain anymore!

All of these goodies, bells and whistles and you don’t have to sacrifice money, data or even style! Indulge in the latest Samsung Galaxy 5S that has 16GB and a 2.5 GHz Quad-Core processor, is 4G LTE capable, has a crystal clear 16MP rear facing camera and a 2MP front facing camera for selfie perfection. The Samsung Galaxy S5 even has a special Heart Rate Monitor.
