Father’s Day is nearing which means I need to run to Walmart to pick up something for Just Plane Dad.  This year’s gift will seem a bit odd as it will be given to my daughter.  Her cell phone died and as a teenager this is her modus operandi. I desperately need to pick up a phone with unlimited talk text and data/web for her to keep in contact with Dad.

It probably sounds strange that I’d give my daughter a gift for her Dad’s special day but I know the secret.  And most Moms with teens will agree: kids bond with their parents over the phone.  Things they won’t or can’t talk about are just easier to say over text.  “Thinking of you’s” are hard for teens but they don’t think twice about sending over a Snapchat of their little fingers in a heart shape.

Without a phone and reliable cell service, this all stops.  And Dad suffers.  He won’t mind giving his present away because it ensures him unlimited plans with his first born.  How else will they schedule those Saturday afternoon lunch dates?  

We’ve had service with Walmart Family Mobile before so I knew right where to head in the electronics section to pick up a new $64.88 Alcatel One Touch Pop Astro (such a cute name) and the $25 starter kit SIM card.  The phone service is $29.88/month for (the first line) unlimited talk, text & data/web plan which includes up to 1G of 4G LTE data.  For only $10 more, you can increase the available 4G LTE data. So video chats, downloads and games will all be lightning fast!

The phone has a sleek look in a white case that’s perfect for girls.  Beloved was drawn to it immediately.  Since she meets Just Plane Dad on the weekends for their work lunch breaks, she was thrilled to send him a special Father’s Day invitation on the phone.  They spend precious time together bonding over talk and fast food.  (hey we said she was a teen!)

The best part about using their service is that its reliable and my girl and her Dad can stay in constant contact.  The second best part?  We save so much money by switching to Walmart Family Mobile that their weekly meals are covered by our savings.  It’s not unusual to save $50 or more per month.  Remember, very few plans offer unlimited talk, text & data/web.  Kids go through a lot of data.

If you’re looking for a gift for that special Dad on Father’s Day, why not a new phone with Walmart best plans?  He’ll love the thoughtful gift and the fact that you can use it to #Save4Summer fun!

How will you spend this Father’s Day?
