An Important Topic, Join Us For The #FirstPhoneEtiquette Party!

According to a recent survey by Microsoft Devices, almost all Canadians (98%) think it’s important for parents to set guidelines for their children’s smartphone use, with most of that group (88%) saying it’s actually “very important”. Parents grabble with “the first phone dilemma” around the holidays more than any other time. When is the right time to get your child a smartphone, and what should parents know before doing so and after gift is opened?

I count myself among those parents, as my son is 10.5 and has mentioned having a smartphone a few times, though hasn’t specifically asked for it just yet. I know the time is coming and I want to ensure – as tech savvy as I think I am – that I have a clear understanding of how to introduce a smartphone to my child and what expectations and guidelines we can set as a family for its use.

Just in time for the holidays (and beyond for parents like me!) we’re throwing a party to discuss, learn and share all things #FirstPhoneEtiquette with Microsoft Devices!

The prizes being given away at this party are insane-good, just check out this haul available to our party  guests to win:

6 prizes of a Lumia 830, valued at $500

The final grand prize, valued at more than $700, includes:

Lumia 830
Wireless, Bluetooth connected speakers
Wireless charging stand
Portable USB car charger
Treasure Tag

With a total of  7 Microsoft Devices Lumia 830 Smartphones being given away, I anticipate a lot of happy squeals on Christmas morning as a result of this party!  I’m really looking forward to learning more about #FirstPhoneEtiquette – hoping you can join us!
