I recently read that the average age that a child has their first smartphone in 2018 is 10! And while there is no magical number when it comes to figuring out the best age to equip your child with their very first phone, one thing is for sure, you want to select a phone that is safe, secure and budget friendly. If you feel like your child is ready, then the Alcatel Telstra Essentials Plus powered by Alcatel ticks all of these boxes and at only $99.
What is the phone like to use?
The Telstra Essential Plus has a large, bright 4.95" sized screen.
It is super slim and light (only 145g to be exact), making it the perfect size to discreetly pop into the school or sports bag.
In such a snap happy generation, the camera feature is sure to be a huge hit with the kids. The phone has a 5 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel front facing camera, both with flash. I tested it out and was impressed by the quality of indoor and outdoor shots for such a budget friendly smartphone.
The phone uses the latest Android Go operating system, it is super easy to operate, much like the average (pricey) smartphones on the market.
With smartphones nudging around the $1000 mark these days, by far the phones best feature has to be the price tag. It is designed to be an easy to use, entry level phone and it represents amazing value for under $100.
The Telstra Essential Plus is available in a classic black design exclusively through Telstra and some participating retailers. With Christmas just around the corner, this makes the perfect gift if you have been considering the purchase of one for your family member.
Like to win one for your family member (or you)?! Then simply head over to my Instagram and Facebook pages where I will be giving away one Telstra Essentials Plus pack (until Sunday 11 November 2018)
Good luck!!
