This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic.
Today is a big day! Amber is graduating from high school tonight. She was enrolled in a dual program, so she also gets her Associates Degree. It seems like only yesterday she was just a toddler, giving me the side eye and stomping her foot and hysterically proclaiming, “I’m mad!” Now she is a college graduate. Between her social life, her job and her school, I don’t see her nearly as often as I would like. So, when we are catching up by phone and the call gets dropped, it’s super annoying. I am sure you feel the same way. That’s why it is so important to have a reliable cell phone service.
The Problem With Poor Cell Service
Dropped calls aren’t the only annoyance that comes with poor cell phone service. Amber and I both travel a lot. And let me tell you, I am horrible with directions. Have you ever found yourself in a position where you needed GPS and your phone just didn’t work because you were over your data limit or it was just too slow? Riding around in a new city, lost, and with no access to directions is not a good feeling. And it’s just not safe.
Verizon is #1 cell service provider for speed, data, reliability, and overall network performance in the U.S. according to an independent third-party tester.
Amber loves having the newest phone possible. All of her friends are so smart with all of the technology on these newer phones. It just amazes me. Plus, the cooler the phone, the more likely she is to be playing with it when I call – which means she doesn’t have much of an excuse not to answer. Ha! Teens. 😉
If you’re coveting the latest in cellphone technology, check Verizon for great deals on the Samsung Galaxy S7 & Galaxy S7 Edge, HTC 10, and the iPhone SE.

Tammy Shelton says
I would choose the iPhone® 6s Plus Silver for my Grandson. Someone stole his phone and held it hostage. He had left it on his school bus and they called and said he could get it back for $200. We reported it to the police but they did nothing.
Dawn McAlexander says
That is horrible! Was he ever able to get it back? There are some real creeps in the world today.
Tammy Shelton says
The VU Wireless Charging Pad deal appeals to me. I’ve really been wanting one of these and it’s a good price.
Candice says
I would love to have the Samsung Galaxy S6.
Heather lawrence says
What a proud momma moment! What does she have planned now that she has graduated? Is she taking a fancy trip? Going back to school? Found her dream job?
I have the Galaxy s6 Edge…. love the camera in this phone!
Dawn McAlexander says
We are going on a trip together next week and in the fall she will be starting at a University to work on her Bachelors Degree. She wants to be an elementary school teacher. 🙂
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
You must be so very proud! She’s a graduate! She’s also so pretty, and pretty darn smart, I imagine! Woo hoo!
Dawn McAlexander says
Thanks so much! I am definitely very proud of her. 🙂
Beth Hill says
I would love the Apple iPhone 6S. We are heading to verizon tonight to switch over to the new any plan…scary move.
Dawn McAlexander says
Best of luck! I hope that the new plan is one that suits your needs well.
Beth Hill says
The iPhone 6 Plus appeals to me because my iPhone is still a 5 and almost at the end of my 2 year contract!
Terri says
Congratulations! What a milestone for both of you! 🙂
Pam says
We have been thinking about switching to Verizon for a while now. I have heard good things.
Stefanie Gladden says
I would choose the
Apple® iPhone® 6 16GB in Silver with the $100 off code VZWDEAL
Stefanie Gladden says
because I’ve been wanting a new iphone!
Mrs. AOK says
Congratulations to your daughter!! You have to be such a proud mama that she’s getting a twofer. So awesome!
My daughter is currently on a field trip to visit the high school, which makes everything just got so real, I’ll have a high schooler soon! Wishing you all the best, and yes the cooler the phone the more than on it, which means they better pick up. 😀
XOXO
Dawn McAlexander says
Thank you so much. Once they get in high school, the time really just flies by.
Toni | BoulderLocavore.com says
Congratulations to Amber! How cool to get two degrees! I’m with you on dropped calls; so annoying. We too have Verizon and find we rarely have dropped calls.
Mitch says
Verizon is my carrier so I am entering! Thanks for this info, we need a new phone for my son!
Mitch
Dawn McAlexander says
Best of luck to you! Thanks for entering, too. 🙂
Rebecca says
thanks for this giveaway and for the info on verizon.
Rachel Langer says
My poor husband really needs to upgrade his iPhone 4s. . . we may just move over to Verizon soon.
Dawn McAlexander says
I upgraded from a Samsung S2 to a Samsung S6 Edge + recently and it was a huge change, lol.
Brandy says
I used to have Verizon, they had great service. What a fun giveaway!
Yanique says
Congrats to your daughter on her graduation! I love my S6 and can’t wait to check out the S7!
Theresa says
Congratulations! Good phone service really is a must for any student. Being able to connect to potential employers is a must and you certainly don’t want to miss or drop one of their calls!
Dawn McAlexander says
I know! And some students do assignments on their phones, too. You definitely don’t want to lose service in the middle of a graded assignment. Eek.
Debra says
Good phone service is essential for me! It is so frustrating to have dropped calls or not get good intertnet!
valmg @ Mom Knows It All says
High school and college associates degree at the same time – wow! Congratulations to her! I love VZW, they have the best coverage in my area.
Dawn McAlexander says
Thank you so much! And I am super pleased that you are happy with your Verizon service.
Liz Mays says
Now sounds like a good time for students to switch before the new school year. Those savings will help a lot.
Carolyn says
Sounds like an awesome deal. We use Sprint but I think Verizon probably has better coverage in our area.
Ora Lee Gurr says
She looks like she’s having a good time with the phone. Congratulations to both of you on her impressive graduation and achievements.
Vicky says
What an accomplishment for Amber. You must be so proud! That could not have been easy.
Dawn McAlexander says
Thank you! I really am. She has had a steady job for 2-3 years now, too, so she stays really busy.
Rose Sahetapy says
Congratulation to your daughter! You must be so proud! Amazing to see the evoluation of technology of the gadget, and young people they are really good on using the technology. Thanks for sharing this review.
Jeanine says
What a huge milestone! That is so amazing congrats to you both! I wish we had Verizon here I hear so many I would love switch on over!
Paol says
I would love the Apple iPhone 6S in grey. Congratulation Amber! Wow, an associate degree along with a high school diploma. If only that was an option for me when I was back in high school over 25 years ago. Fast track to success!
Paol says
Because I need a new phone for my sister’s daughter.
Dawn McAlexander says
Me too! It took me forever to get my college degree after I left high school. This would have been a great option if it was available.
Ryan Escat says
I love Verison gift cards, it would be a great gift for someone who just graduated! Congrats, by the way!
Nicole Escat says
Wow, 100 off at Verizon is so nice, a new smartphone is cool! Congrats to you, you nailed it!
Crystal says
Congrats to her! Graduation is such a great celebration with family and friends. Looks like she’ll be able to stay in touch with all her school friends easily.
Kelly Hutchinson says
My daughter will be graduating next year. Yikes! I think Verizon has such a great selection of plans that are affordable for the whole family.
Jill Conyers says
Congratulations to Amber! My daughter will be a senior next year. It’s so hard to believe.
Dawn McAlexander says
Time really goes by so fast. I am still shocked that she has now graduated.
Denea says
I love my iPhone 6s! I am a iPhone lover and would go to anything else.
Beeb Ashcroft says
It’s true that they grow up way too fast. In this day and age, having the latest technology is important especially if you are on the fast track to succeed. It seems Amber is if she has already received her Associates! Congratulations!
Amanda Love says
While I’ve heard great things about Verizon’s network, unfortunately their plans are just a little too high for me. I am also stuck in a contract so no moves for me any time soon.
Ann Bacciaglia says
A Wireless Charging Pad would be fantastic. I could use a new phone. I will have to see what phone i would like.
Karlaroundtheworld | Karla says
Congratulations to her! Verizon’s always a more reliable service provider for my mobile needs. It’s nice to have a chance to get an S7 from them along with a promo!
Heather says
I have an iphone 6 which I love – but I would like the rose gold version 6s 🙂 Congratulations as well!
Dawn McAlexander says
That rose gold 6s is EXACTLY the phone that my daughter has and she loves it. 🙂
Pam says
Cell phones certainly aren’t cheap! This is a great deal for getting a new one! Thanks for sharing!
Katherine G says
I love Verizon. They have awesome service. I actually wish I was back with them. I switched to T-mobile thinking it would be better but I want my Verizon back.
