What’s cheaper than a cell phone, and lets you stay connected with your kids?<\/p>\n

“We’re on a tight budget, and every dollar counts. But we need to buy two cell phones for our 10-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter. What if there’s an emergency and one of them needs to get a hold of us?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Cell phones are expensive.<\/p>\n

You’ve seen the upfront purchase price — an iPhone 6 with 64 GB is priced at $299.<\/p>\n

You’ve noticed the monthly contracts — you’ll pay anywhere from $40 to $90+ per person per month, depending on the carrier, number of minutes, and contract term.<\/p>\n

You’ve spotted the inevitable up-sells — cases, accessories, protection plans.<\/p>\n

And at least once in your life, you’ve probably opened a bill containing pesky “overage charges” at 40 cents per minute. Gulp!<\/p>\n

Many families already live on tight budgets. Adding yet another cell phone<\/em> to your long list of bills is probably the last thing you want to do.<\/p>\n

But at the same time, you don’t want one of your kids to be unable to reach you in case of emergency.<\/p>\n

What should you do?<\/p>\n

Don’t worry. There’s a solution that’s much cheaper than a cell phone and allows you and your family to stay connected — especially<\/em> when there’s an emergency.<\/p>\n

Read on to discover the device that could save you hundreds, or even thousands, while also keeping your family safe.<\/p>\n

What’s Cheaper Than a Cell Phone — And Lets You Talk With One-Button Touch?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How often are you in this situation? You’re running late to pick up your kids from school, soccer practice, or their friend’s birthday party. You want to call your child and reassure them that they shouldn’t worry; you’re simply stuck in traffic, and you’ll be 20 minutes late — but your kids don’t have a cell phone. You can’t get in touch. Maybe they’re too young to have a cell phone because they’ll lose it, break it, or use it to text or call people that they shouldn’t or … maybe a cell phone — with its expensive minutes and data packages — is simply not in your family’s tight budget.<\/p>\n

What can you do?<\/p>\n

Before we answer that question, lets look at one more situation: Your child is playing at the park. As they’re climbing a tree, they fall off a branch and injure their leg. They can’t move. They call out for help, but nobody hears them. They desperately want to reach you. But they don’t have a phone.<\/p>\n

Again, what can you do?<\/p>\n

How can you connect with your child without giving them an expensive cell phone?<\/p>\n

Enter: the AlertGPS safety wearable. It’s much cheaper than a cell phone and lets you and your kids talk to each other with one touch of a button.<\/p>\n

The two-way voice feature will let you communicate in case of emergency — without costing an arm and a leg (no pun intended).<\/p>\n

That’s not all:<\/p>\n
