Have you enjoyed the summer so far? Take a long weekend break, or vacation. You still have a few weeks left before school starts and have to think about what kind of back to school gifts for your kids. This time of the year you can find tons of bargains in electronics and gadgets, but we would like to recommend something even better.

High school and college kids love texting, it’s probably the most popular way to communicate with friends in school (especially during class). Nowadays, many carriers offer unlimited texting in the same network or even out of network. I would highly recommend signing up an unlimited text messaging plan if your kids are the texting type. The costs of these unlimited plans vary from $20 to $30 per line and can be much cheaper if you have a family plan. Since the costs of text messages are already covered by the monthly plan, there is no need to worry about over usage and parents will have more ways to keep in contact with their kids in case they don’t want to answer your phone.

What do you think – is unlimited Text Messaging the best Back to School Gift for High School and College Kids?
