Cell Phones for Kids - Keep your kids safe!

Finally a prepaid wireless provider that specializes in cell phones for kids!  I can remember the days when only rich, corporate types had cell phones in their cars, and then there was the true mobile phone that required you to sling a huge batter over your shoulder.  Well, technology and society has evolved dramatically, and now cell phones are part of our daily lives.


In recent years it has become an important question regarding how young is too young to have your own cell phone?  Should parents even be thinking about cell phones for kids?  As the market has become more and more saturated, targeting youth has received even more attention, and you'll see a lot of "young" brands out there.  As a parent, the idea of cell phones for kids is a double-edged sword.  On the one hand, it provides a sense of security that your kids can be reached anytime, so you don't have to ever wonder where they are whether they're safe.  However, on the other hand, it leaves kids open to communicating with people that could be considered inappropriate or dangerous, or act as a distraction in school.


Fortunately, kajeet entered the prepaid wireless market and have dedicated all of their energy and resources towards catering to the needs of parents by specifically providing cell phones for kids.  Kajeet offers a number of features that cannot be found anywhere else.  If you're a parent, kajeet is a service that you'll definitely want to consider!  If you're not a parent, but know someone who is, once you read about the amazing, thoughtful, kid-safe features, you'll no doubt feel compelled to send this information to them.


Here's a list and brief summary of kajeet's FREE parental controls that comes with their cell phones for kids offering - click on the images to see a screen shot of each application:

Wallet Manager
The Wallet Manager allows parents to decide who pays for what.  If a parent puts $20 to spend in their child's wallet to last for the month, it's possible that he will choose to use the money within a week.  Does that mean that the parent won't be able to reach their child?  No!  If the parent has money in the "parental" side of the wallet, they're still able call their child.  With a typical prepaid service, when the phone's balance reaches zero, it cannot be used (except to call 911), and the parent is left in the dark.  Conversely, with a postpaid plan, the parent can always reach them, but runs the risk huge bills.  The Wallet Manager teaches your child to use their wallet allowance responsibly, with the reassurance that you'll always be able to contact them.  Click the image on the left to see an enlarged view of Wallet Manager.


Time Manager
The Time Manager allows parents to decide when the phone can and can not be used.  As the parent, you have the control to turn off incoming and outgoing calls as you deem appropriate.  For example, you can restrict calls during school hours, while allowing for emergency numbers to be allowed.  That way you don't have to worry about inappropriate calling during school hours, but feel confident that in case of an emergency they can call 911 or call you for help.  Click the image on the left to see an enlarged view of Time Manager.


Contact Manager
Contact Manager allows parents to program specific numbers that they want blocked to and/or from their child’s phone.  Calls, text messages, and picture messages are all blocked.  So if you're told that someone is calling your child and harassing them from a certain number, you can easily block that number.  Conversely, you can also "block all" and allow access only to certain numbers.  Blocked numbers will go straight to voicemail.  Click the image on the left to see an enlarged view of Contact Manager.

 

GPS Phone Locator (available for an additional monthly fee)
GPS Phone Locator allows parents to locate the phone/child.  So if your child misplaces their phone, you can locate it using the Internet-based GPS Phone Locator.  You can also set alerts through GPS Phone Locator.  For example, if your child should be at basketball practice, you can set alerts to make sure they're actually there.  Alerts can be sent via email to directly to the phone.  Used appropriately, without abusing people's privacy, this is a great tool for parents to locate the phone and or child.  Click the image on the left to see an enlarged view of the GPS Phone Locator.
