*This is a sponsored post by Straight Talk Wireless. With the average smart-phone plan costing nearly a one hundred dollars a month a lot of people are looking for ways to lower their bill, especially during the holiday season. This Christmas we are adding a touch of holiday cheer with Straight Talk’s holiday devices. I have been using a Straight Talk phone for the past couple of months and I am very impressed with how easy was for me to set it up. The coverage was my biggest fear since I'm always on the go covering events, but not once have this phone failed me. I can take pictures, videos, and post them  immediately  no matter where I am. Data in unlimited but I like to keep it off and only use it when I need it. This has always been a habit of mine, since I tend to be connected to WIFI most of the time. If your little ones asked “Santa” for a new phone this year,  Straight  Talk phones are your best option. Since they are pre...

Straight Talk Safe Driver Car Connection device can teach safe driving habits and help keep your teens safe!    Straight Talk Wireless , the leading US no-contract cell phone service provider and Driver’s Edge, a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching young drivers what is not being taught in traditional driver’s education, held a behind-the-wheel event in Atlanta, GA to honor National Teen Driver Safety Week.

Distracted driving is a deadly epidemic on America's roads, particularly among teens that are confident in their ability to text or talk while driving. In the United States, injury resulting from motor vehicle crashes is the leading cause of death for young people ages 15 - 20. The sad reality is that with all the advances in technology and teen distracted driving policies and programs available, we still haven't been able to find an effective solution to reduce the risk of car crashes for young novice drivers. As a mother of a teen that's expected to drive within a year, I fear for her safety. I try to teach by example -- practice good driving habits, have road manners, restrain from using the phone while driving, and obey traffic rules, but the reality is there are so many unexpected driving hazards, that it is impossible to feel that you have done enough...

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Did you know that nearly half of of the kids at Make-A-Wish are battling cancer? Every 38 minutes, this amazing organization grants a wish to a child who has a life-threatening illness. Make-A-Wish mission could not be possible without the generous contributions from sponsors like Straight Talk Wireless.    Every Saturday in September, Straight Talk Wireless will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish for each person that visits their participating local Walmart and takes a minute to learn more about Straight Talk. Straight Talk will donate a minimum of $500,000 to Make-A-Wish and up to $1,000,000. This is the second year in a row that Straight Talk will be hosting this program. Last year’s program was very successful, reaching its $1,000,000 donation mark! Straight Talk believes there is nothing greater than granting a sick child’s wish. They are thrilled to be able to be part of making that happen again this year. ...
