Cricket Wireless Wants You to Call Your Mother

As Mother’s Day quickly approaches, Cricket Wireless asked people how they prefer to hear from loved ones when they haven’t seen them in a while. While millennials (38%) prefer a text from someone they love, adults ages 35-75 would rather receive a voice call. So, while emoji-laden text messaging with flowers and hearts are great for your friends, use that voice she gave you and spend some time chatting with mom on the phone this Mom’s Day.

Upgrade your phone so you can let Mom know you love her in all the ways she likes – voice call, text, video calling, sharing memories on social media, you name it. You might think about getting her a new smartphone as a Mother’s Day gift. Cricket Wireless has the right one for you, and for different types of moms and budgets:

· Alcatel IDOL 4 ($129.99*): For the mom who loves entertainment and likes to share – a solid, good-looking smartphone that includes virtual reality goggles and access to VR games and videos . And you know she’ll let you play with it, too.

· LG Stylo 2 ($99.99*): For the ultra-organized mom – a stylish smartphone with great features, like a large 5.7” display and integrated stylus, to help keep mom on top of PTA meetings, soccer games, etc.

· LG X power™ (79.99*): For the mom who’s always on the run – with a long-lasting battery and a large screen, but without the need for a bulky charging case.
