I participated in program on behalf of Mon Central Consulting
On November 13, 2013, I was given a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Sprint and the tools and resources that they have available to help manage children’s technology usage. Learning from the Internet to safety using the cell phone.
The wonderful staff at Sprint hosted us in group in which we learned about upcoming ventures such as Sprint Spark. Sprint Spark is essentially an enhanced LTE service that will enable smartphone users to hit unprecedented speeds of between 50Mbps and 60Mbps. Sprint showcased around 1Gbps this morning. The service will enhance video and other bandwidth heavy apps. The rollout is starting in New York. Sprint Spark is a combination of advanced capabilities, like 1x, 2x and 3x carrier aggregation for speed, 8T8R for coverage, MIMO for capacity, TDD for spectral efficiency, together with the most advanced devices offering both tri-band capability and high-definition voice for the best possible customer experience.
I also had the opportunity to talk to the staff regarding prepaid phones and plans with two companies that are associated with Sprint-Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile. It was great to learn about these low cost phones and plans. Have you ever had your phone on its last charge and you need to make a call, this is a great backup phone to have. You can use it for calls and texts, you kids would be able to have this phone and you will feel safe and secure. It is also great for you to have. I was on the bus recently and my phone was out of charge and I needed to call for my cab and I used my Virgin Mobile phone. People on the bus said what a great idea. We don’t have chargers all over the place to charge phones, so having this backup phone is a great idea.
I learned so much from this event.
The wonderful people at Sprint have been kind enough to allow me to offer one of their Galaxy Notes up for raffle. All you have to do is leave a comment and you will be entered to win.

This would be such an awesome gift to give my son for Christmas. He is overseas with the Navy and will be home after Christmas. He has not had his Smartphone for 7 months as no service overseas.
