Common Mistakes Parents Make When Buying Phones for Their Kids

When it comes to buying a new phone for your kids, chances are you’ve probably already conducted a thorough search for cheap phones in Australia. Still, a cheap mobile deal isn’t the only consideration when it comes to your kids’ first phone. Here’s some insight from the experts on common mistakes parents make when buying phones for their kids.

Cheap Phones Australia

Sure, looking for a new phone for your kids is generally exciting. However, you’ll want to ensure you not only find a cheap mobile deal but a phone and plan that will cover all your kids’ mobile needs without any hefty additional costs. 

Here are some common mistakes parents make: 

  • Buying your Kid the Latest and Greatest 

If it’s your child’s first mobile phone, you may want to avoid any of the top tier devices for a few reasons. Firstly, many of the major flagship devices will have a screen that is far too big for their little hands. 

Plus, many leading devices come with all kinds of extras (that you’re definitively paying more for), that your child may not even need. 

Ask yourself, “What will my child use the phone for primarily?” The answer for most is that they want a means to communicate when their child is at school, as well as a device on which they can do some research for school, stay connected with friends, etc. 

Plus, we all know how quickly items can get damaged, break, or get lost when it comes to children. 

That’s why we recommend finding a great deal on cheap phones in Australia. 

  • Tying Yourself into a Lengthy (Un-Controlled) Contract 

Fundamentally, you’ll want to avoid bill-shock at any cost but your little one might not understand the difference between capped and uncapped data, and that hour on YouTube kids might cost you a pretty penny when not connected to Wi-Fi. 

That’s why we recommended avoiding contracts altogether and rather opting for a pre-paid mobile deal. With pre-paid you can have the peace of mind that all your bills are paid for up-front and easily avoid overspending. 

  • You Won’t Consider Refurbished Phones 

Refurbished phones are a booming market in Australia because they are cost-effective, eco-friendly, and allow you to get leading devices at a fraction of the cost. 

Did you know that refurbished phones are actually less likely to have issues and glitches over new cell phones? 

That’s because they go through all kinds of testing before being re-released to the market. 

So, if you’re looking for a new phone for your kids, look no further than TeleChoice. Browse any of our cheap mobile deals online. From new to refurbished phones, TeleChoice is a leading provider for cheap phones in Australia.
