Can you imagine life without mobile phones? Most of us would find it very difficult to navigate our lives without our hand-held diary, newspapers, emails, games and entertainment all in the one place. We've all come to rely on the convenience of a mobile phone in our pocket or purse, and many of us simply couldn't live without our 'electronic organisers' on our person now.
These days there are phones to suit all lifestyles, ages, budgets and needs. You don't need to spend a fortune to get what you want either. The Telstra Essential Plus mobile phone powered by Alcatel is one example of an attractive and quality mobile phone that will fill the basic needs of many and more, without the ouchy price tag of many phones on the market today.
The Telstra Essential Plus mobile powered by Alcatel, has a full colour 4.95 inch screen with an 18.9 ratio which makes it so easy to use. It's also very lightweight at just 145g, which will ensure your bag is never too heavy when you're carting your most used possession.
Like all modern mobiles, there's a built-in 5MP rear camera, and a 2MP front-facing camera with a flash, as well as social media-friendly camera features for creating panoramas, photo grids and time lapse features. It can even capture light trails for fun photography moments.
The Telstra Essential Plus mobile powered by Alcatel, runs on the new Android Go system which means improved app performance with seamless operation. It also includes Google Play Protect which keeps the device secure at all times.
This great smartphone is blue tick certified. If you're in a regional or rural area, you will still receive superior call quality on the Telstra network. Best of all, this amazing smartphone is just RRP $99 and you can buy one at your nearest Telstra store. This mobile is available in black only.
We recommend this mobile phone for teenagers based on quality, price and features. Not sure what age your child should receive their first mobile phone?

a perfect phone for the awesome daughter in my life, who misses the bus and needs a little call from mum at times
ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect for my daughter to be able to use as we don't have a home phone and both our mobiles are for work and are locked.

This would be extremely helpful with the boy off to high school next year!!

DeleteIt has been a real struggle deciding when the right time is for my son to have a phone. With all his friends already having one, it's been hard to explain that he doesn't 'need' one. He starts high school next year and will have to take the bus 3 days of the week. I feel that next year is the right time for him to have one, mainly for security and ability to stay in contact with each other. I feel this Telstra Essential Plus mobile is the perfect phone for him...and perfectly priced too!

It's time for the kids to start walking home from school,
ReplyDeleteHaving a phone, I know they'll think they're cool.
But I'd like a phone for them to keep my mind at ease,
They can call me when they got home and also when they leave.
If the weather turns sour or my plans at work change,
I can let them know what to do so they don't get caught in the rain.
Without a phone they won't be walking home,
So, for out of school care payments, maybe I'll take out a loan. :)

Be still my heart that phone sounds perfect for ME!!
ReplyDeleteMy kids are so smart but I've been left in pre history,
Remote life saw no mobile's for this old goose,
then suddenly it happened!! we moved to a town!!
Looking for work in a house with no phone,
I splurged and spent $15 big ones on a push button thing??
Fuzzy pictures and ring tones that will make you shudder,
Fingers crossed for a job soon so I can splurge on another.
I'd then hand it down to my amazing son,
who looks after his little brother and sister just like mum.
He has a catalog round, is saving for bird books,
my mister 11 is a twitcher and would love to try snapping shots as he walks.

ReplyDeleteI do not have a mobile phone - how bad's that? I don't think there's many of us left, us out-of-touch people. Please help me build a link back to humanity so I feel a part of society once again.....I want to ignore my family at dinner time, walk in to street posts, trip up guttering again...I have missed the life we all live.

I currently have a dinosaur brick phone. Catching up and moving into today's society would be like "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
ReplyDeleteI would love to win to give me a nudge to finally upgrade my phone. I have held onto my current one now for 6 years and my children say I seriously need an intervention to help me let go of my old phone! I admit it, I need help.
ReplyDeleteKaren Stevens
Yes please. Entered the giveaway. Anne Go

I feel I live in the ice age with no apps on my flip flop phone so this way I’ll at least appear to be cool to my kids Lindacleary
ReplyDeletewith an old nokia that is not a smart phone my kids think i am an uncool mum for sure
ReplyDeletewhen i pull out my phone in front of their friends my kids get embarrassed galore
when i am out and about i still use an old refedex if i dont know where to go
and i often miss photos i could take with a smartphone which makes me feel sometimes sad you know
so a smart phone would be useful in so many ways
and i could be a cool mum again hooray :)
sharyn is my name (forgot sorry)
DeleteSmartphoneS.....todays technology. No more carrying around phones that are a size of a brick. No more encyclopedias, everything you could possibly want or need to know is just a flick of a button away with the one and only 'GOOGLE'. Thank you Telstra, Alcatel and Six Little Hearts for the chance to put my brick down and move into the world of smart phones.

With young Master J off to high school next year it would give me peace of mind to know that he has a reliable phone with him so that he can contact me whenever he needs me, especially if he misses the bus and needs me to pick him up. Maree Gray
ReplyDeleteI'm a Volunteer Coordinator in aged care and I would love to win this phone prize pack to do a lucky draw at our upcoming volunteers christmas party.
ReplyDeleteOur volunteers are caring, dedicated, talented and amazing giving people. I'd love to give a lucky volunteer the opportunity to keep in touch with their loved ones and to capture photo and video adventures they could bring back and share with our residents. It would be awesome for all! Thanks.
