Last week, hubby wrote up a review on the Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 phone. My favourite quote that he shared was that it was like a “family room in your pocket” thanks to its impressive stereo speakers and high definition display.
I’m so excited to share a giveaway with you where you have a chance to win your very own!
Here’s a question for you: at what age do you feel it is appropriate (in your opinion) for a child to have their own cell phone that works out of the home? This is an ongoing debate among parents and I’m curious as to what you think. At this point in my life as a parent, neither one of my kids are ready or have a need for a cell phone. We hand our old phones down to them and they can use them to play games etc. in the home, but they are not connected to any service plan, only wifi. At the age of 10, my daughter already has friends who have their very own cell phone that they can use to make calls, text etc., so I figure it is only a matter of time before she starts asking for one. We are definitely not ready to give her a cell, but I’m curious what you think. Please do remember to respectful of all opinions. This blog must remain a respectful place.
I would be excited to own a cell phone if I won.

Just getting a new phone excites me.
Just getting a new phone excites me.
What excites me is the qaulity of it. I also like that it is complete reversibility
I’m excited I might own a cell phone!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Excited that I can have a phone where I don’t have to say hello 10 x before someone actually hears me
Excited that if i won I can gift it to my friend who desperately needs a phone to stay in contact with me! 😀
excited to win because my 17 year old son could really use a new phone
I would love to win because I need a new phone, I’m still using the S3 which is obsolete now..lol
I would love to win this for my mom, it was her birthday yesterday
I would be excited to replace my very old phone that is not smart at all.
I am excited to be able to gift it to my brand new teenager 🙂
my current phone is on it’s last leg, I don’t want to be without one!
My husband used to have this phone but it met with an untimely and nasty demise. His replacement phone is awful (he bought the cheapest smart phone available since he’d only had the Alcatel one touch for a couple months) so I would love to win this for him to replace the crasher (his current phone closes his apps if he has more than one open or for no reason at all…)
I’m coming around to the idea of having a cellphone (I have two that I’ve never activated, that are now well out of date). So it would be nice to have a proper smartphone that can do whizzy techo stuff.
I love that I could potentially have a phone that has great features.
Loving the idea of high definition display. My teen would love it!

i would love to win to give to my husband..we are sharing a phone right now and would love it if he had his own again!
The high def display!
I am a single mom and would not afford it other wise, that’s exciting :D)
I’m still using very old BlackBerry this would be awesome to own!!
Getting it for free! 😉
I’m excite that i will have something PRETTY for just me! Thanks for teh great giveaway!
Just winning a new cell phone excites me, ours (I share one with hubby) is old and we could really use an upgrade. Sounds like is has a great display.
I’m excited to get a phone, any phone, since I don’t have one.
I would love this for my hubby as he doesn’t own a cell and I know he would love the high definition display

I love the camera features. I also love the price, can’t beat that!
Owning a working cell phone that excites me about winning.
I would love this for myself, I rarely say that!! As my screen is cracked in 100 directions during twitter parties the tops of my fingers hurt by the end, lol it takes a while to hit RT !! Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your families
It looks like a great phone and i really need a new one
I am excitesd about having a phone with a great camera!! 🙂
the camera. love taking pictures
I am excited about winning because I don’t own a cell phone. I’m a stay at home wife and since I’m usually home I just use the home phone. I know it’s time to get one but it’s not easy to save up the money. So winning would make it possible to own one!
The most exciting this about winning this is that I really need a new one.
I do not own a cell phone so I would be excited if I won.
I’d be excited to be able to upgrade from my current phone.

I would be excited because it would be an upgrade from my four year old phone.
Good heavens what a prize! Excited? I don’t even own a cell phone for one thing – I’m so anxious to get one, I’m missing out on a lot cuz I don’t have instagram.
I am excited about winning because I still have the old flip phone with zero features, so it would bring me into the 21st century!

My current phone has been dying a slow death for a while now so I could totally use a new phone and this might be the one for me!

I would be excited just to get a new phone, mine now is really old. The battery dies fast, the screen is shot. I’m in desperate need of a new phone.

The camera mostly. My daughter needs a new phone & this is the first feature she is looking for in a phone, a decent camera for all the selfies that she takes.
Oh, I love the HD screen.
I’d be excited to replace my aging phone. As for your question about what age is appropriate to have a cell phone, we gave my oldest one at 14 and now our 11 year old is starting to hint about getting one. I don’t think he is responsible enough yet, mostly because he still loses everything!
The thing that excites me the most is the possibility of having a new phone where the volume actually works and the camera is of great quality
I would love to have a phone that actually has a decent camera unlike my last few.
Owning my own smartphone.
I have never had a phone so I would love to win one. I also love that it has full HD.
I’m excited that it would be a HUGE improvement from my current phone. I have a blackberry and it is the most useless phone i have ever owned. I love that the idol 3 has such great speakers. I love to watch videos and listen to music and the quality of sound on a phone is usually too poor to enjoy those things, but it sounds like that won’t be the case this time around!
What excited me about winning the Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 is that I need a new phone!
What excites me the most about potentially winning the Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 is the look on my boyfriend’s face when I gift it to him!
Well, since my husband still has a flip phone, it would be exciting to bring him up to date!
I am excited about having a phone just for business as I am having difficulty keeping work and life separate.

I’m excited about this phone as I’ve heard quite a lot about it recently. I love that it is full HD photos will look fabulous. 🙂
Besides the awesome features, I would love to win this because it would be nice to have a phone that actually works! I have three girls that have destroyed every phone I’ve had for the past 5 years!
I don’t have a smart phone so would like taking pictures with it.
What excites me most about potentially winning the Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 being the owner of a phone,i honestly never owned a cell phone

I love playing with tech devices. I like to discover the new features of a phone.
I would finally have a smart phone! My phone is an old basic cell phone.
I’d excited, because this would be a big upgrade for me.

i love the size of the screen…and how clear it looks…but the brand name gets me even more interested they are a high quality phone is why i want to win it
Myphone right now is junk, to have a smartphone like this one would be awesome!
I do not have a cellphone so winning one, especially an android phone, would be awesome. I would love to have a camera at the tip of my fingers and be able to have cool apps
I have an Alcatel phone that I love, but I’d love to have this ‘smart’ one! I love that it is an android phone and I can install fun apps!

I’d actually love to win this for my dad. He is using a broken phone right now and I’d love to surprise him with a new one. I’m not sure what age is old enough to have a cell phone. My daughter is 9 and nowhere near ready for the responsibility. I think probably every kid is different. Once my daughter is allowed to be out and about by herself say at the mall I’d like her to have one so I’m guessing between ages 11 and 13.

Besides the awesome features, I would love to win the Alcatel one touch phone because I have never had my own phone.
That would be crazy exciting!! This phone is Android and I love the idea of
downloading some amazing apps onto it!
I’d be very excited to win a mobile phone because I haven’t had one since way back in the early 2000s, when the phones weren’t smart ones, haha. I’m the only person I know who doesn’t use one!
What excites me is that I could potentially have a new smartphone that has a nice larger screen.

It looks very user-friendly
I like the reversibility aspect. So many times I grabbed my phone to take a picture and have to rotate it until buttons are in the right spot. 🙂
Very excited about the large screen and a proper camera.

My phones screen is cracked, so this would be great

5.5″ full HD 1080p screen
The big screen!!
I’m excited about the screen and the JBL speakers! I love to stream stuff from my phone 🙂
I like the idea of the camera!
I would love the Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 . I inherited my husbands old phone when we bought him a new one for Christmas. I will make calls on it only if I have to! I would love to stream movies or music but the sound is terrible,the screen too small. As for when to give a child a cell phone,my kids got one as soon as they could afford to buy it and pay the bill themselves. They all have phones now , geesh lol One day instagram!
I have an old flip phone that has a cracked screen. My husband laughs whenever I text because it takes so long to get the letters I want. We would both be very happy if I had a modern phone.
I actually don’t own a cell phone…. so having one would be intersting.
I only have a minimal phone with texting and only data where there is free wifi, i dont have the luxury of buying an actually spruced up phone as a single mom that isnt a monmey amount to pay out . Would love a new phone , (Carey Hurst)
i seriously LOVE the large screen
I love the combination of the JBL speakers and the great screen for a great video watching experience.
The big screen and the camera!

My phone is very old so all the new features are amazing to me. The good speakers would be super and the 13 and 8 mp cameras would be just right for us.
i’m excited by the large screen
I’ve never had a cell phone, so everything about it excites me! :o)
I love the large screen and also my phone is old and the battery is not good, always out of battery when I only bring it out for half a day. I need a new phone
I would excited me to update my outdated phone with this new one with a better battery life and larger screen.
I would love to get this for my mom, she’s still using a ‘dumb’ phone
I have a really old cell phone so this would be such an update. Love the larger size screen.
I could really use this since my phone is slowly dying. The big screen would be great

I love the fact that it is a decent phone, unlike the ones that I have for work or my husbands flip phone this would be a huge improvement. Most of all I would like a decent camera!

I don’t own a cellphone and finally have decided to get one so I think it would be great to start with the best, which is this!
Would be a great first phone.
Just having one excites me, great battery
This would be perfect for a first phone for my Teenage daughter
my husbands iphone hasn’t been able to receive calls for about a year, I’d love to give this to him.
