12 Days of Giveaways: Day 7 with Telus and the Samsung Galaxy S4™ Mini


"Mom, I need a new phone!" 
"Dad, can I finally get my own phone?"
"I'm the only one that doesn't have an awesome phoooooone!" 
Sound familiar parents?

Whether you're a parent of a teen that has "hinted" plenty times that they wish for a new smartphone under the tree this year or just in the market for a new phone that won't break the bank, you must consider the Samsung Galaxy S4™ Mini. 
With its 8MP camera and compact design, beautiful and responsive display, and all the bells and whistles that the mini’s big brother the GALAXY S4 is known for, this would surely make the perfect gift! 


I am attached to my Smartphone! It's like a part of me. Organization, social media, keeping in touch with loved ones, taking pictures (and tons of it!), listening to music, reading, checking emails, everything! 
In this day and age, I feel it's a necessity to have one (Yes teens, thank me now!).

Features:
  • Compact design – The GALAXY S4 mini’s slim design makes it perfect to take with you anywhere, anytime.
  • Premium experience – This device offers the same flagship experience as the GS4, including an 8MP camera, Group Play and Samsung Link.
  • Powerful performance – The S4 mini packs a punch with a 1.7 GHz Dual Core Processor and the Android Jellybean 4.2.2 operating system.

One of my biggest issues with smartphone these days is the grip and how big they are for little hands (like mine). Without my case on it, it would probably be kaput by now.
This is one fantastic thing about the new Samsung Galaxy S4™ Mini. Even though it's more compact than it's "big brother", it doesn't compromise on it's features and what it can offer.
Sweet & Petite... with a powerful punch! Much like me. 

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini available at Telus for $0 on a two-year term or $400 outright.

And for newbies that are still getting comfortable with their phones and have a ton of questions or worrying parents that are concerned about the online safety of their children (you just never know in this digital age!), I absolutely love Telus' unique Services: Telus Learning Centre and TELUS WISE®.

Learning Centre sessions are great for tweens/teens or those just starting out with their first smartphone.
Telus' specialized Learning Specialist can give them a tailored one-on-one tutorial on how to use the phone so they are 100% comfortable using their new device – it’s great for parents too!
They offer one-on-one or group sessions according to what you feel is best or most comfortable for you.
Sessions range from 15 to 45 minutes depending on your learning style and what you would like to learn.
I really wish they offered this when I got my first smartphone. I was so confused! And didn't utilize all the great features I had after many months of owning it.

TELUS WISE® is a great program for tweens and teens! Recently launched by Telus which is peace of mind for parents that are getting their kids on their first smartphone – it’s all about smartphone and Internet safety and how to teach kids to have a clean digital footprint.
You can learn more about TELUS WISE® here. And psst... this service is a PTPA winner!


Courtesy of the wonderful folks at Telus, one of you will win a new Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini!

To enter, simply leave me a comment below telling me who in your family would LOVE this phone and why!

Contest is open to Canadian Residents only.
Ends 12/12.

Good luck!
