Review: Kajeet Cell Phones & Services for Kids

Kajeet‘s slogan, “the cell phone service made 4 kids ™,” is an answer to my prayers.  My 15yo daughter has endured the embarrasment of being the only teenager she knows without a cell phone, and I can’t say she’s endured it well.  Still, I needed to find something that allowed me to give her the freedom she deserves, but with measurable parameters that we could all understand and agree on.

Kajeet’s services include separate “wallets,” or allowances for plan payments so your child can contribute monetarily to their account.  They also offer limits for calls and texts, including WHEN the phone can or can’t be operated, as well as what numbers can or cannot be accepted.  And finally, you can select an optional GPS locator to know where your child’s phone is at all times.

Kajeet sent our family a Samsung m300 to review with their services, and my 15yo is over the moon.  The phone is fantastic, with great reception and the camera capabilities she was hoping for.  There are currently 8 phones you can purchase with kajeet services, from the high-end LG Rumor to the refurbished Motorola C290 (which is now only $16.99!).  We are currently on a pay-as-you go plan, which is the more expensive option, with .10 per text and .10/min for calls.  We’ll be switching soon to a plan, though, most likely the incredibly affordable $19.99/mo, which includes unlimited texts.  What’s great about all these plans is that there is no contract, no application fee, no termination fee, and you can change your plan at any time.
