Football Fun With My Mom

I’m sharing #VerizonMobileGifting in my life as part of a Verizon Wireless sponsored series for Socialstars™

I was born and raised a Dallas Cowboys fan. Currently, we are not having our best season ever, but every week I look forward to the games. Even during the week, the anticipation to the game builds up in a fun way because I constantly listen to local sports radio in my car and at home. My mom and I are ALWAYS texting about it. Football fun with my mom is one of my favorite things about football season! The minute any Cowboys news breaks or there is something interesting to talk about, I text my mom. We have been like this as long as I can remember.

One of the great ways we share this pastime is with text messaging. For those of you with Verizon you can use an amazing app called Message+ to share texts with your friends and family during your favorite sporting events. This is such a fun time of year with College Football winding down and NFL games heating up! You can download the app from the Apple App Store or from Google Play, depending on your device. You can seamlessly send and receive messages on your Smartphone, iOS device, tablet, and desktop. The Verizon Messages application is rated #1 by sports fans during pro games – Source

Another really cool feature of Message+ is mobile gifting! My mom is a huge Whole Foods fanatic, and I am able to send her a fun eGift card to treat herself to some flowers or yummy hot bar food just because I love her and she’s a great mom! She sends me random treats all the time, so it’s fun to be able to do something nice for her. You can send gift cards, seamlessly, within the app. It’s so amazing!

My mom and I are really close, and sharing are love of football is one of our favorite things. She and my dad raised me to be a huge football fan, and I love being able to chat with them both during games. I love that Verizon Message+ gives families and friends the ability to not only stay in contact when they aren’t together, but also be able to treat each other seamlessly to a fun surprise every now and then!

Are you a sports fan? What’s your team of choice?
