Communication issues with a tween are tough enough. Add the cell phone battle, and you might as well wave a white flag. With the many after school activities and weekend sleepovers that take place, a cell phone for my daughter became a necessity. She had a small “emergency” phone but it didn’t work well, so she never used it. It was definitely time to upgrade. We didn’t want to let a bad cell phone connection to keep her from being able to contact us if there was an emergency. When she asked me if she could have an iPhone from Verizon — just like mine — I said YES. Since I’d initially opened my new customer account online, I knew that the site was reliable and user-friendly. I was really surprised at how easy (and quick!) the online ordering process was. Lucky for us, Verizon made it super easy and affordable to add another line. My daughter inherited my gently loved smartphone, and I got to purchase a new iPhone 6. Through 2/29, new customers can receive up to $50 off select smartphones with coupon code COUPONVZW. Take a look at all the options! Which smartphone would you like to get with this discount?
Our new line has been a big time saver for our family. I can reach my daughter to let her know our plan for pick-up after practice, and feel comfortable knowing that she’s safe. She can text me to keep me up to date if she’s spending the night at a friend’s house. Our iTunes accounts are linked so that I have control over her apps. She often sends me fun pictures when she’s spending time with her cousin, or challenges me to a game of Trivia Crack. On the silly side, we love to watch funny Vine videos together on her phone. She likes to FaceTime with her cousin, and sends texts to her grandmother. Her new cell phone has sparked a connection within her. The cell phone has been a huge peace of mind for me, and it’s also been a big source of fun communication for our family.
Since we don’t get Internet in our rural area, we use our mobile hotspot quite a bit. We got a BIG data package to share, and I was really impressed with how reasonable the rate was! This is a lifesaver for us because she has to complete much of her homework online. Additionally, Verizon has lots of ways to sweeten the deal for your ideal package. For example, if you’re considering a Droid Turbo 2 phone on a monthly device payment plan, you can receive a free Qi Wireless Charger! Note that you will see the deal after adding the phone to your online cart. If your house is like mine, you’ve probably found yourself desperate for a charger more than once! This is just one more way that Verizon makes it easier for families to keep in touch.
I hope you’ll consider using Verizon’s online ordering for your smartphone needs. Life is too short to lose communication.
Do you use a cell phone to keep in touch with your loved ones?

Apple® iPhone® 6s 16GB in Space Gray, because I like the size! Thanks for the giveaway.
This is such a generous giveaway, thanks!
I miss Verizon. I’ve been with TracFone for a while now.
I do not have verizon, I know others who do and they like the service. I have a tracfone and it’s okay, nice to have control over what you spend on service.
I’d go with the iPhone® 6 Plus
I love my iPhone, so I would get the 6 plus. And I love the $50 off coupon. We are very happy Verizon users!
For years I stayed away from a smart phone now I can’t live without my iphone. I would love to upgrade to the latest iphone 6!
I like the small size of the droid mini. I have small hands so the popular oversized phones are a big pain for me.
Wouldn’t you know I JUST bought a new phone??? :/
I’d like to get an Android phone so I can sign up on Instagram.
I would get the Apple iphone 6. I love Apple!! I am due for a new phone.

I’m a Mac girl, so I’d choose the Apple iPhone® 6s Plus in rose gold!!
I WOULD CHOOSE THE
Samsung Galaxy S®6 32GB in Black Sapphire 🙂
I would choose the Apple iPhone 5s 15GB in Space Gray because the monthly payment is the cheapest, and hopefully the phone would be the simplest of them all. I prefer simple tech. Thank for the giveaway!
I like the Apple iPad Air 2. The tablet looks fun, I would use it for basic things like checking email, FB, games.
I would like the Apple iPhone 6S 128 GB in Rose Gold, so pretty and a lot of storage. I need that for music and pictures.
I would get the Samsung Galaxy S®6 because I have an S4 and I love it. This would be a step up!
My husband and I would be so blessed by this!
Probably the iPhone 6s because I’ve been wanting it for a long time.
samsung galaxy s6 in black!
Honestly I would choose the Apple Iphone 6 Silver 16GB , One my son has an Iphone and love it and two it’s the cheapest payment wise .
2nd question Motorola DROID Mini for only $4.50 a month how could you pass that up. Though still think I rather have the Apple Iphone in Silver.
I would choose the Apple iphone 6s 16GB in Space Gray. I have a very old cell phone that I just make calls on or get calls,no internet or anything else. I liked this phone because it has everything and more,it looks good too,I love the color and it’s time for me to have a fancy phone!
I would choose the Apple Iphone 6 Silver 16GB

I would buy the Samsung
Galaxy S®6
I don’t own a mobile phone so any of the deals appeal to me right now. Thanks for hosting.
It’s so hard dealing with tweens/teens/kids and technology. You want to keep them safe but know that they are safe and can reach you, too. I’m glad that you found a good balance.
I would choose the Apple iPhone 6s 16GB in space grey
$100 off iPhone 6+; I’d love to be able to edit my photos on a larger screen
I would buy the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge because my husband needs a new phone and this would be perfect!

They have lots of choices and brands. I think my daughter would like a Samsung Galaxy.

I’d choose the Apple iPhone® 6s because I like Apple products.
The $100 off Apple iPhone® 6 Plus in gold appeals to me because I like the gold one.
Any phone would be awesome as I don’t have a smart phone, just a old school phone, no pic’s just dialer, but sooooo want one!!!!
Any so I need of a phone!!!
I would most like the Samsung Galaxy S®6 because I have an S4 and I love it.
I would choose the Samsung Galaxy S®6 because I have an S4 and I love it.
I would get the Samsung Galaxy S®6 32GB in Black Sapphire for my son. 32gb Memory is a great feature.
I would get the Apple® iPhone® 5s 16GB in Space Gray because I like iPhones and its the cheapest. lol
I love Verizon- always been a great company to do business with.
I would definitely get the Samsung Galaxy S6. I love Samsung products and since I am left handed the edge is a little awkward for me. I only have 16g on my Galaxy 4 and I am starting to outgrow it so I would get the 32 g. It has everything a person could ask for in a phone. My S4 takes excellent pictures and vidio and I adore it. I would absolutely fall in love with the S 6. My daughter has one and she will let me touch it every once in a while. Lol. It would be my baby.
Verizon has more coverage area here in the mountains. We wouldn’t use anything else.
I would get the Galaxy Note5 I have always wanted a samsung to try it and this one has some great features I love that you can write on the screen with the pen to make notes it is pretty cool
I would choose the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, because I like Samsung products.
I would buy the Samsung Galaxy S6. I have the S5 and my husband has the S6 and I love it. It’s so much larger and has even better features than the S5.
I would get the Droid Mini.
I’ve heard really good things about Samsungs. I like that they have several even others besides the Galaxy.
The phone I’d choose is the Samsung Galaxy Note5 32GB in Black Sapphire. I also love the Valentine’s deal on the Galaxy S6!
I love my Sansung from Verizon- great phone!!
It sounds like a good service; I would choose the Samsung Galaxy S6 32GB in Black Sapphire
I’d pick the Samsung Galaxy Note5 because I love the bigger screen!
I switched to Verizon about five years ago and am glad that I did, because I never have a problem with service like I did with my previous carrier. I would NEVER own an iPhone, so if I had to get a new phone I would get the Samsung Galaxy Note5.
I don’t even have a smartphone. Would love to have one but the monthly charges are so high.
Thanks for the contest.
I’d get the iPhone 6 to sync with other devices!
I’ve wanted an Iphone for a while, and now it is $100 off the 16 or 64GB in gold! My son highly recommends it.
An iPhone 6!! And in gold to match my iPad! 16GB should do it or 32!
Apple iPhone® 6 Plus– I love my Iphone
I would choose the iPhone 6. Apple products have never failed me!
I really like the improved features in the new Droids.
I finally got a phone!! It isn’t the newest, but I like it! I got an iPhone 5. Of course, I would like to upgrade some day.
My mom has an i Phone. She would love to have the iphone 6.
I Would consider getting the Samsung Galaxy S 5 Charcoal Black. It has all the features I want and then some. I don’t get the newest and best when it comes to phones because I have destroyed a couple phones. And they are to much to replace.
An iPhone 6 sounds so amazing to use.
I would choose the Apple Iphone 6 Silver 16GB because I have enjoyed previous iphone versions!
I would love to use the discount to get an Iphone 6 I have the 5s. I agree that a phone is a necessity for kids now, it’s not like there are payphones anymore which is how I stayed in touch when I was out and about as a kid.
Apple iPhone 6 would be my choice.
I still do not have a smart phone but would love to get any kind
I’m still leaning towards the Samsung Galaxy because I’ve always liked Samsung’s products.
I have verizon and I love it. I think you will like it too. 🙂
For Christmas, I received my daughter’s old iPhone 5. She got the newest one. I love it!! I did not know what I was missing!! I keep in touch with my family and friends more! So any phone would be a blessing to me!
Been using Verizon for years. Thanks for sharing!
I used to have Verizon, but switched to a different company a couple years ago. My contract is up and I have been considering going back. Sounds like they have some great deals.
When I win this I will get a smartphone.
I would get the Samsung Galaxy Note5. I’ve had a Samsung phone before and I was really impressed with it.
$100 off the iPhone 6 plus appeals to me the most. It would be a great 18th birthday gift for my son.
I didn’t let me son get a cell phone until he was 15.
I live in a rural area and AT&T was the only service here when I got my phone.
I don’t have a smart phone, but I’ll probably have to get one soon.
We don’t get Internet either so I use my Android phone to get Savings in Seconds posts. I use a Straight Talk Plan.
i would love to have a new phone with cool features.
I free charger is fantastic. I’m always misplacing mine too – especially after a trip.
The droid mini looks good to me because of its smaller size. I don’t like the huge phones that don’t fit in my hand.
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
I would get the Samsung Galaxy S6 32GB in Black Sapphire. I like its 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display and easy access to camera and how it uses optical image stabilization to eliminate blurry photos and shaky videos.
I really like this for my son who has autism. I feel alittle safer with this.
I’d like to get the Samsung Galaxy S®6. It looks like a great phone.
Best does matter. We have traveled with non Verizon customers who have had to borrow our phones to get coverage. I prefer any Android based phone.
I use a pre-paid phone, I guess I’m not real in to all the new stuff.
I would choose the apple iphone 6 because apple products are better and easier to use.
Yup!! Verizon is the best around!! Hate their prices but the service is unmatchable!!
I wouldn’t even know which smartphone to get since I’ve never had one.
I just got a new iPhone so I’d like to get a Fitbit to help me on my fitness journey
I’d rather sign up online. The last time I went to a Verizon store to get information only, the representative tried to sign us up for a bunch of stuff that we didn’t want without telling us.
I ordered a phone for their prepaid coverage and I love it!
I would like the Droid Turbo phone. We use the Verizon service and are quite pleased.
I have the Droid Turbo through verizon and love it!! If you prefer a Droid based phone it’s definintely up there with the best 🙂
We love Verizon. Our Droid phone has been great.
Phones can be expensive and then there’s the service cost. It’s great getting a discount and still being able to have a great phone.
Nice review..I am thinking maybe someday upgrading.
We have one basic cell phone. Disconnected from gadgets a year ago.
I like the deal for the Apple iPhone 6 Plus for $22.91/mo.
I’ve heard Verizon provides great service. If I ever changed providers, I would definitely choose them!
What did we do before cell phones???
Great giveaway, thanks.
Oh, I love Trivia Crack!!
I would get the Apple iPhone 6 plus because my friend has one and I’m jealous of the awesome camera features
Verizon has been very easy to work with. We love our Droid phone.
Awesome Giveaway Thanks for having it!
I would order the Samsung Galaxy S6 its a nice looking phone and love that it comes in 34 & 64GB
I am a very happy Verizon customer myself!
I like Verizon, been with them a long time
Samsung Galaxy S6 $24 month is a great deal
Do they have smartphone classes? I wouldn’t know where to start to learn.
I agree that the best matters! I’d love to upgrade my phone to the Apple® iPhone® 6s 16GB in Space Gray.
I’m sort of glad my kids are grown now and we didn’t have cell phones when they were growing up. But in this day and age I guess it is a necessity. Glad you couls accomodate your daughter on your plan.
I love their phone prices for prepaid!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6, and love it,. So if for some reason I needed to get another phone I would get another one of those.
It definitely looks like the product has great features!
I’ve been very happy with our Verizon plan.
I like the i phone 6 it looks nice
I like the Samsung Galaxy S6 32GB in black!
Great the safety features so you both can be happy. I like that you get control over the apps.
I bet your daughter was so excited to get her own phone. 🙂
Verizon’s customer service is awesome!
I have a smart phone now,but I know only enough to get by! My phone is ancient compared to the iPhone 6!
This is really good for families.
You have to keep control of the phone until she gets older because she could be on it all hours of the day and night.
I would like to get the Apple® iPhone® 6s 16GB for my grandson.
I share a plan with my son and daughter on Verizon. We all have the iphone 6, but I would like to get the larger screen.
I love how you can compare up to 3 phones side by side to decide which one is right for you!
I have an Android phone now. Maybe I’ll try an iPhone next time.
I like the Droid Turbo phone! That is an especially sweet offer with the free charger. I have been with Verizon forever.
The monthly fees see very reasonable for the iphone 6 plus
Verizon is very dependable & has great coverage.
I like the options. Looking at the Samsung Galaxy, it seems like it has a good camera with image stabilization. That would help.
I’m still not certain that it’s worth it for me to get a smartphone.
I would get the iPhone 5s. I have a iPhone 4 right now, so it would be a nice upgrade but not as pricey as the 6.
This looks great
We don’t have smart phones bit thinking about it
I think it’s great that you two have such a good relationship. How fun that you share photos, stories, and trivia. Sounds like the phone really helped with the bonding.
The kids need a cell phone nowadays. Glad that Verizon is accomodating this need.
I thought I was going to get an Iphone but I ended up getting a Galaxy S4 instead.
I actually need a new phone and was planning on heading to verizon this next week! Im very basic, 😉 I was the iphone 5 – thank you for the chance to win! What a fun giveaway!
We have a family plan with Verizon and it works out really well for us.
We used to have Verizon, but switched a while back. Definitely should have kept Verizon. We’ll be switching as soon as our contract it up with the other company.
This be nice
Wow $500 is a lot of money!
Galaxy S 6 because it has AMOLED design.
Deal for Now $100 off the 16 or 64GB in gold, because I want one.
It’s great that they have reliable service. You want to be able to connect whenever you want…fun or emergency.
How old was she when she got her first phone?
I could have some fun with a $500 Amazon gc!
I own a samsung galaxy, I like it.
I can’t imagine not having internet in my area!! Would make me nuts!! Yay for a mobile hotspot!! What a lifesaver!!
My daughter got a new one like this. She really likes it.
I love that you can order online because the stores in my area are always so, so busy! Thanks for the coupon code too!
Our Droid Turbo is pretty amazing and the service with Verizon even better.
I think that this is my second comment. I would like the iphone 6 with the bigger screen. 6S or 6 plus.
Thanks for the giveaway! I already use Verizon and love it!
The rose gold the iPhone 6 is available in is very different.
I love Verizon! I have a smart phone through them.
Verizon is really awesome, we’ve had great service with them.
I would choose the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 from the selection of smartphones in Verizon. I have always loved a huge screen for media consumption and reading. Plus, the Note line of Samsung has never done me wrong.
I don’t even know how to text very well.
$50 off a smartphone is a GREAT deal!! I would snatch that up in a second!!
We use verizon, they are better!
I’m not in the market for a new smartphone.
I have the Amazon Fire Phone 32GB (Unlocked GSM) running CM11, and I am happy with my phone.
I use T-Mobile-based service through StraightTalk. Getting Unlimited Talk, Text, and Data for a little over $50/mo. ($45 + taxes/fees) is a great deal.
My parents have a ZTE Majesty that uses Verizon-based service through StraightTalk. They have all sorts of problems with it, especially with the Verizon-based service giving messages from Verizon that they cannot accept calls at times (even when they have minutes!).
I like the Samsung Galaxy S®6 32GB in Black !
Thank you very much for the giveaway listings and so many other topics of information you provide.
#TheBetterMatters post: I am really glad I don’t have tween’s or children any longer to have to worry about them and cell phones, social media etc.
They offer really good phone options, and I like the coupon. Even better is sweetening the deal…a free charger…Yay.
Droid turbo is great with Verizon service.
The only thing I don’t like about ordering phones is that you have to buy your own car charger- what a pain!
I’d choose the Samsung Galaxy S6
Luckily my kiddos are still too young for their own phones for another couple of years
As a parent of a tween My daughter really wants a phone I will have to check out this site.Even though I don’t think she needs one
My daughter likes Samsung’s, and the Note 5 has a 5.7 inch display which would be nice. The gold color is interesting, too.
Verizon really has some.great offers.
They offer excellent phone options & a coupon too!
I’m glad that I don’t have kids and don’t have to worry about phones for them.
I came close to getting an Apple 6, but I got a Galaxy instead.
I like the Samsung Galaxy Edge.
Reasonable rates are so important. You know you’ll use a lot of data, but it can easily start adding up cost-wise. I’m glad you got a good deal that works for your family.
Can’t beat Verizon for a great deal.
“Through 2/29, new customers can receive up to $50 off select smartphones…” Now THAT is good news!
They have some good parental controls which is VERY important.
I really like the Samsung Galaxy S6 32GB in Black Sapphire because of the great display.
Thank you for the chance to win!!!
I really like my Samsung Galaxy S4 from Verizon!
i would get the iPhone 6 plus. i have always wanted an iPhone.
We have our daughter on our plan, too. I like how easy they make it now to combine lines and choose about sharing on each line having their own time. Great plans to go with a great phone.
I hv been wanting the Samsung Galaxy S6 32GB for awhile now! I hv the S4 & am so ready for an upgrade!
We’ve really been happy with Verizon service.
My grandson came and helped me figure out some of the apps on my new Galaxy S4- Love Verizon’s phones!
What a great giveaway i would get a new laptop.
I’m still stuck on getting a Samsung Note 4 or later.
Great suggestion for an economical “tween” phone. I have had such good luck with my verizon phones and plans.
I dont own one but my daughter is really been happy with Verizon service.
I love the features of the Apple® iPhone® 6s 16GB in Space Gray and would love to have it.
Our Droid phones with Verizon are great.
I love the iPhone.
I’m getting excited about buying my first smartphone.
I definitely need a new phone. I dropped mine about a week ago and now the screen is cracked.
My husband is an IT pro, and he prefers a Droid.
I really need a new phone. I dropped mine and cracked the face of it a couple days ago.
I would love to get the Note 4, it has so many new features from the Note 3.
I inherited my daughter’s old phone, because she got a new one. I am not complaining by no means, because I had nothing before. But I would appreciate a new one – they technology is always changing and upgrading!
You know, I would love to get an Apple® iPhone® 6 Plus 16GB in Space Gray with that deal.
Even better would be the 500$ Amazon gift card! But a man can only hope =)
I hung on to my old phone for so long. I love having a smart phone now!
I would love to have the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + because it is an Android phone and has the edge display along with the front screen.
David Smith recently posted…1byone Portable Bluetooth Speaker Giveaway, 2 Winners: Ends 3/18
I would be really happy with this deal: Get a free Samsung Gear S2 with purchase of the Galaxy S7 edge. The S7 edge would be excellent upgrade to the phone I have now and the Gear S2 would be an excellent addition to the S7 for all of the features that they work together with.
David Smith recently posted…Dylan’s Candy Bar Sweet Treats Tower Giveaway, Ends 3/21
I don’t know if I am totally comfortable with the recent increase in requesting/requiring comments on one site to enter on another. It seems it would be too easy to get things twisted and mixed up. Anyway, since I couldn’t find my original comment that I used to actually enter this one, maybe this can do double duty!
The $100 off the iPhone 6 plus appeals to me most as I have been wanting to upgrade my phone for a while.
I would love to have a Samsung galaxy.
Our Verizon family plan has worked out great.
TI must say the $100 off the iPhone 6 plus appeals to me
I want to thank you for sponsoring this very fine giveaway. I look forward to following you in the future.
im pretty unhappy with my phone AND my phone service. we have tmobile and i have an s5. has broken 3 times, once i had to pay $200 to fix it… it’s a $700 phone!!! pretty crazy. im soooo ready to switch to and iphone.
Checked out the site today, and they also have deals on cases. Great to get it all in one place when you buy.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 & I’ve had it for about a year and half now. The microphone just broke & they want 200 just to fix that. I’d be better off getting the S6, I love my android!
I definitely appreciate the parental controls, but i have to say that cellphones are not necessarily bad. When my daughter has trouble talking to me in person, she sends texts. It opens up a conversation that might never have happened otherwise.
I would choose
Samsung Galaxy Note5 32GB in Black Sapphire
I love that the Galaxy Note5 with a compatible computer to answer messages and calls from either device with SideSync
I would upgrade my husband’s phone to a Samsung phone, He has another brand and loves mine.
Still haven’t decided on a smartphone & service.
You really need to use care when buying a plan for a tween!
I still don’t have a smart phone but I’ve heard great things about the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge.
Samsung Galaxy S6. I’ve read reviews that it has a great camera. I like digital scrapbooking so I take so many photos!
I love Motorola Phones. The Razrs. I dropped mine and now my screen has a crack and the back camera does not work.
This app sound great, we are going to put on our phones, so easy to use.
Kids learn early and they know new technology. My grandson would like an iPhone 6.
Everyone says that the camera on these phones is terrific.
I’ve read reviews nd folks are saying it has a awesome camera
Only one more day for this giveaway, so exciting!
I LOVE the deal on the GoPro Hero + LCD. this would be awesome for our travels. No hands recording look out. Easy to transfer to other media.
I love the $100 off IPhone deal. I do not have a cell phone because mine broke a couple months ago.
I want to thank you for sponsoring the Amazon giveaway. I look forward to following up with you in the future.
Don’t know what I want in a smartphone.
I wouldn’t even know how to use a smartphone ,never owned one
When we are up on the mountain we have to use a mobile hotspot for web, gotta have Verizon of forget about it!
The Samsung Galaxy 6 sounds like a good one for our family.
We need another tablet for me to use while traveling, we have Verizon and love the service. Never a worry about having coverage.
I’m ambivalent about getting a smartphone and paying the monthly charges.
Thanks for the chance! I do love my S4!
This is really good for folks with families
I would have liked to win this, but I see that the giveaway ended.
this would be good for a large family to all stay in contact
Oh, drat! Didn’t win this. Congrats Shelia.
Congratulations, Sheila. I hope you enjoy your new phone…if you get one. It would be a hard choice actually deciding.
Congrats to the winner!
I think its time to invest in a phone,i am so behind the times
This would be perfect for families
