Disney Mobile Phones

I think we talked about this a while ago. Anyone get one yet? I just got and offer with Disney Visa. My contract is not up until the end of the year but I might consider one of these!

Re: Disney Mobile Phones

I got that offer the other day too and after doing the comparison I found they were more expensive as well!

Re: Disney Mobile Phones

Oh yes more expensive.

I use Metro, and it's only 50 bucks a month unlimited.

I thought when I saw this thread that they were letting people rent cell phones AT Disney. (Mine didn't work past Bakersfield)

Re: Disney Mobile Phones

I called up Disneymobile and asked them why they would be worth the extra expense- the CM was very good at explaining the features that Disneymobile offers (not like a normal cell phone co) While she talked about a few things,what stands out to me is the GPS tracking for your kids- this would be the only way I would get my 11 year old a cell phone!

I think our Nextel(Sprint) has regular GPS, but DisneyMobile allows you to get the exact location of ANOTHER person on your account. I haven't tried using my Nextel's gps feature, but I am pretty sure it doesn't allow me to locate where another person on our account is. I could be wrong, though.

The CM said if the person is under 18, there is a feature which allows you to find the exact address of that under 18 person (or where their phone is). Sounded like a pretty good feature, although the calling plans do seem a little pricey. Another feature I like is managing minutes and setting limits on the phones. You can have up to 9 phones on one account.

By the way, the CM said they use Sprint towers, so anywhere you can get Nextel/Sprint, you would have service with DisneyMobile. Hope someone finds this helpful!
