T-Mobile Focuses on Family Features and Safety

T-Mobile

I recently attended a great get together at a local T-Mobile store where I learned all about T-Mobile’s selection of phones, tablets, and family safety services.

For many individuals and families cell phones have completely replaced land lines. They’re more convenient, allowing the caller to reach who they want to speak to directly, and include additional features that make them useful such as texting and web browsing. With T-Mobile, you have access to a multitude of different phones and tablets that are designed to meet your needs.

With myTouch by LG, you get 4G speeds on a phone that runs the Android operating system and provides easy access to social networking, calling and applications. The myTouch Q also features a slide-out keyboard for faster typing speeds.

Another phone that is available, in white, is the HTC Radar 4G with the Windows phone 7.5 operating system. It also includes both HTC Watch and T-Mobile TV to view television and movies while on-the-go. It also features a 1 Ghz processor and 5.0 MP camera.

Third, but definitely not last, is the T-Mobile G-Slate tablet powered by Android 3.0. With its focus on high-definition quality, you can play games, view magazines and books, browse the web and even watch movies in 3D on the 8.9″ touch screen.

T-Mobile is a family friendly provider and offers services that give you peace of mind and help keep your children safe. Web Guard is an add-on feature that prevents children from accessing adult-themed websites and is provided free of charge on any line. If your teen is driving, you can also prevent them from receiving calls or texting while driving with the DriveSmart app. It automatically detects when the vehicle is in motion and sends the calls to voicemail so the phone cannot be used.

FamilyWhere is a tracking service that T-Mobile offers. It allows parents the ability to receive real-time information about where members of their family are. They can also create alerts that automatically detect where someone is at a specific time, which allows parents to know when their child arrives at school or home to ensure that they made it safely.

My iPhone 3G screen shattered last night!

iPhone 3G shattered screen

I can’t say it wasn’t my fault. I was getting out the car, holding two books in my arm with my iPhone on top of the books. I think I was trying to hold the door open so Madelyn’s fingers wouldn’t get squished while she was trying to squeeze past Sebastian who was not in a hurry to get out of the car. Things were just a little chaotic. My iPhone slipped off the book and landed flat on the driveaway then bounced over to land on its back. Serious, major, HUGE bummer! I feel like an idiot for letting that happen.
Over the years my iPhone has been abused by the kids and myself (not on purpose) and I guess that I started to think it was invincible. NO, it’s not. Just the right fall, the right angle, and the right surface shattered my iPhone screen and not as if I didn’t already, but I realize how attached I am to it and how much I rely on my iPhone.
Every night when I put Madelyn to bed, I lay with her and read the news on my iPhone. I check my email on my iPhone when I’m out, I have several applications I use regularly such as Things, iNotify, and TwitterFon.

What am I going to do? Oh wait.. I also make and receive phone calls from my iPhone. Huh, I forgot it’s a phone. There really is no point to this post except to remind my readers that iPhones aren’t unbreakable and unfortunately, you can’t get insurance on an iPhone through AT&T (when I purchased mine that wasn’t an option).

Today I’m struggling with these options:

  • Apple will replace the screen at the Apple store for $199 (the cost of a new iPhone!?)
  • I found several online stores that sell replacement iPhone screens for $25-$60+ and extra for the tools required to replace the iPhone screen myself (Tim would do it).
  • Get a new iPhone
  • Borrow my Dad’s extra iPhone.. but I feel bad about that.

Have you ever had to replace your iPhone screen? What do you think I should do?
