Kajeet's entire philosophy springs from a simple core idea: kids are smart. And they should be agile with technology, empowered and safe, and be able to respond with confidence to what's happening in their world. p Because having a cell phone is not just fun, it's a responsibility--a shared responsibility, Kajeet wants parents and guardians to be involved too. Thus, Kajeet is designed to incorporate a full suite of tools to help families customize and manage every aspect of their Kajeet experience.

You can choose pure pay-as-you-go flexibility, and refill your wallet either online or using Kajeet refill cards (available at select retailers). You might also want to consider the value of a Talk and Text Pak plan. Each is good for one month, and if your kid uses it up before that, you can just pick up a new Pak and start fresh. p table border="0" tr td colspan="2" hr /td /tr tr align="left" valign="top" tdbVoice Calls/bbr(local, domestic, long distance, brand toll-free numbers)/td td10 per minute p Talk Pak plans (includes 1 month of Daily Access Charges) ul li$19.99 for 150 minutes li$29.99 for 300 minutes li$39.99 for 450 minutes /ul td /tr tr td colspan="2" hr /td /tr tr align="left" valign="top" tdbText Messages/b/td td10 per message (send or receive) p Text Pak plans ul li$4.99 for 200 messages li$9.99 for 1000 messages li$19.99 for unlimited messages /ul td /tr tr td colspan="2" hr /td /tr tr align="left" valign="top" tdbPicture Messages/b/td td10 per picture/per person (send or receive) td /tr tr td colspan="2" hr /td /tr tr align="left" valign="top" tdbUnlimited Mobile AIMbr(AOL Instant Messenger)/b/td td$6.99 per month (first month free) td /tr tr td colspan="2" hr /td /tr tr align="left" valign="top" tdbDirectory Assistance/b/td td$1.50 connect fee plus 10 per minute td /tr tr td colspan="2" hr /td /tr tr align="left" valign="top" tdbDaily Access Charge*/b/td td32 every day td /tr tr td colspan="2" hr /td /tr /table p * Kajeet charges a service fee of 32 cents per day, which amounts to about $10 per month.

 kajeet customer care very helpful November 15, 2008
I was not at a computer to begin the kajeet activation process for the LG so I called kajeet customer care. The person I spoke with was very friendly and patient with me. I was in my car with my kids at the time. The customer service person walked me through the process and everyone was very happy before we reached our destination and the phone was a hit. The LG phone works great and the parental controls are fantastic. It is the perfect phone for the younger ones. We have three kids and each loves their kajeet. Thanks.

This phone may be ok but product support is terrible. I spent 8 minutes on hold with Amazon at the number listed above. Be warned, they have NO relevant information re how to actually get the phone activated, number portability, or coverage. I did look at a Sprint map for coverage details and it is much more limited than my current carrier. Amazon finally said they would refer me to a number at Kajeet that might be able to answer my questions. I would not consider buying this product based on this service experience. Apparently you get what you pay for.
