Towards the end of summer our family took an amazing trip to the Turks & Caicos. One thing, I always worry about is keeping in contact with my parents. Some people say I am weird, others are jealous but I do speak with my parents normally a few times a day and I make it a point to spend time with them once a week. Being so far away, communication becomes difficult. However, with Verizon Wireless, communication is anything, BUT difficult! This time around, I was given the CASIO G’zOne Commando® 4G LTE . This phone was ideal for traveling, a long distance, with my 6 year old and husband. Furthermore, the 4G service Verizon provides always left us with a strong signal and flawless connection!

The CASIO G’zOne Commando® 4G LTE has some amazing features, including WATER PROOF! Yes, I said it, WATERPROOF! With the click of a switch – this phone can be submerged into the water without damage. FINALLY! Please take a moment to view this short, informative video about this phone. I promise, you will be intrigued to purchase one, or ask for one during the holidays! The Commando retails for $449.99 with a month to month contract through Verizon, BUT FREE with a 2 year contract!

A few other features that were useful happened to be the built-in flashlight & compass! I am always lurking around the house in the dark, sliding my phone on and off. This flashlight rocked, as I was able to keep it on, until I found my bed!! I will admit that the camera and video features were useful, however, not the highest of quality.  

One fun project this phone and I became a part of was  part of Verizon. They asked the question: How do you use 4G LTE in Michigan?

The stunning photos and results are posted here! https://bit.ly/HpKngp PLEASE take a moment and check it out and see if you can locate mine!!!!

 This was how we celebrated 4G LTE in Michigan. I really enjoyed taking a moment to enjoy Michigan…I hope you do too.

One last moment that this phone was able to capture for us was my daughter’s first day of First grade.  With the amazing service, reception, and convenience of Verizon I am always able to capture amazing moments!
