Cell Phones For Kids
Have you heard of kajeet yet? It is a new pay-as-you-go cell phone designed with kids in mind. It is very parent friendly also which is nice to be able to control all the features for and with your kids. I do not think all kids need cell phones but with dance classes, sleep overs, after school activities and working parents, I think it is a great idea. When I got the chance to review this phone for you guys, I jumped on the chance.
Here are just some of the features the kajeet phone has:
Wallets: they have parent wallets and kid wallets, use your wallet if you want to make all the decisions about usage, but use the kid wallet to teach kids money management. Have him track his usage, text messaging and downloads.
Pay As You Go: kajeet starts you out with $5.00 but you can add money into your account any time. People can even gift money towards the usage and minutes never expire.
Feature Manager: Decide what features your child can use with online managing. There are a ton of features like instant messaging, web browsing or downloads.
Time Manager: Parents can decide when their child’s phone can be used. You can make sure there are no late night phone calls when your child should be sleeping or during school hours.
Safety: All kajeet handsets are GPS-capable, which means there is a chipset in the phone that will help provide location information to a capable emergency service provider when a caller dials 911.
All in all, I think this phone is great for tweens and teens. It is sleek and stylish with a ton of features kids would love. I know I would feel safer (and my wallet would think me) dropping my kids off wherever they go with this phone.

I think kajeet would expand their customer base if they included a GPS locator for parents, not just if 911 is dialed. What if they can’t dial 911? There is extra safety and peace of mind when a parent can easily know where their child is. This is a young market and “privacy” issues regarding their whereabouts are not a valid argument, in my opinion. I think they would attract all of the Disney phone users because now they would exceed all they offer. This is an important feature for me and why I am hesitating in allowing my 10 yr. old son to purchase this phone. I like everything else about it.
