Thrifty Maven

These days, in addition to notebooks and pencils, many parents are finding that mobile phones are an essential back-to-school supply. When choosing the right cell phone for kids, texting trumps phone calls every time when kids are communicating with their friends and family. Note: Close to 70% of T-Mobile customers are text messaging and more than half of teens text daily with their friends and family!

That is why T-Mobile is kicking off a new promotion to help families stay connected just in time for back-to-school. Starting this week, customers can sign up for T-Mobile’s Even More Family Plan with a two-year contract and get the latest messaging phones (Samsung , Gravity 3 and Gravity T) for free after a mail-in rebate…and unlimited texting for everyone on your family plan is just $20 per month.
