Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.
In a previous post, I asked: “Does ‘super cool’ always have to come at a super steep cost?” Well, if you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that the answer is a resounding no! Whether you’re purchasing a first phone for your child, or want an affordable smartphone that keeps up with you at work and play, the Alcatel A50 Smartphone is the one you’re looking for.
Offering a perfect balance of smartphone functionality powered by Android 7.0 Nougat, the Alcatel A50 includes the complete Alcatel SNAPBAK accessory system, including the LightUp, Sound and Power SNAPBAK covers.
So, what can you do with your Alcatel A50?
– Mix and match the SNAPBAK covers to boost the fun or function of your Alcatel A50
– Transform your phone into an interactive LED light show using the LightUp SNAPBAK
– Add the Sound SNAPBAK to turn your Alcatel A50 into a portable speaker
– The Power SNAPBAK increases your battery life up to 22 hours of talk time
If you had a chance to attend our recent #AlcatelA50 Twitter Chat, I know you’re already sold on this feature-rich smartphone. But for those who missed out, here’s a sample of the feedback from attendees:
“Children LOVE having things that are uniquely theirs, so if they can customize it, they will LOVE it!” – @jennyfrmdaroc
“Aside from loving the SNAPBAKs and battery life, the price has me sold perfect for a starter phone.” – @mich0071
“Affordable phones with these specs and features are rare!!! I’m sold.” – @CanadianMomma1
There’s no denying it: The Alcatel A50 is a feature-packed mobile companion offering exceptional functionality in both entertainment and productivity.
In addition to introducing the brand new phone at our Twitter Chat, we also shared tips and advice for first phone etiquette. As a parent, here are some questions you can ask yourself to determine if your child is ready for a smartphone:
Have you set limits for the use of technology at home? Does your child respect those limits?
Does your child need a phone to stay in contact with you in case of an emergency?
Can you trust your child not to use the phone during school or at other inappropriate times?
Have you talked with your child about the dangers of cyberbullying?
Have you stressed the consequences of sharing inappropriate pictures and/or posts?
If you answered yes to all of the above, your child may be ready for his/her first smartphone.
Courtesy of my friends at Alcatel Canada, one lucky reader will win an Alcatel A50 Smartphone. To enter, simply fill the form below with your qualifying entries.
Wishing all my readers and their children a successful school year! Good luck!
