Kajeet is a prepaid service provider (MVNO) aimed at the tween (pre-teen)
market. Kajeet uses the Sprint PCS network (CDMA).
Kajeet phones range from $70 - $100 which is in the mid to upper range of
what other prepaid MVNOs offer. Kajeet service is in the mid to lower
range. Minutes are 10 cents, with a 35 cent access fee per day. The
average customer who uses 200 minutes and makes calls 20 days of the month
would pay $27/month for service.
Kajeet products have been showing up in nationwide retail outlets like
Best Buy.
Kajeet offers unlimited AIM instant messaging as as add on for $6.99/month.
A fair alternative to other wireless providers who charge per instant
message. We all know that most kids are IM addicts.
Kajeet is a good alternative to the high priced and kid targeted service
from Disney Mobile, since it has similar
parental control features, and uses the same Sprint PCS backbone. It's
a comfortable choice for parents who want to provide their children
the safety and security of having a cell phone, but are worried about
giving them a phone with a contact plan where they can ring up a high
bill.
Kajeet is also a homegrown business started by parents free from
evil corporate commercial domination (cough... Disney.. cough).
