About Kajeet
Kajeet was founded by three three dads figuring out how technology, kids and parents work best ("Kajeet" is an anagram of the first letters of the names of the company's founders' children). 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.

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. For more on Kajeet's pay-as-you-go charges and monthly voice and text plans, see the Kajeet Service section below.

Phone Features
Weighing just 2.7 ounces, the M300 is one of the smallest and lightest phones on the market today. The front has a black face that includes the 96 x 96-pixel color display and integrated camera, and it's framed by a red surround; the back of the phone is basic black. The internal color LCD has a 128 x 160-pixel resolution and 65,000 display colors (16-bit), and the external display provides a quick visual check of the time, new messages, battery life, and signal strength. The phone has a 4 MB memory, but it lacks memory card expandability. The phonebook offers a maximum of 299 entries, with each providing storage for up to 5 numbers as well as an email address.

The VGA resolution digital camera can capture still at 640 x 480 pixels (sized for sending via email or uploading to the Internet), and it includes self timer, night mode, brightness, and white balance control features. Print pictures directly to PictBridge-supported printers, without a computer, using the available USB cable. Thanks to the built-in Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 2.0), you can enjoy hands-free communication via optional headsets.

Parents can schedule automatic location checks at specific times of the day, so they know where their kid's kajeet phone is at any given time--whether the phone is in their child's backpack on the school bus or in their sports bag at soccer practice. Kids can also use the service to help find their phone. The GPS Phone Locator service is $9.99 per month.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cant take normal daily abuse, February 15, 2009

By	J. Watson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Why cant products last more than a year. In my family there are three of these phones. Only one still charges, so when the other two have to charge with have to put their batteries in that phone. But now that phone is nearly the end of its life. the charge ports break too easily. if you want a phone that will last the full contract period, i suggest something else. i just want a quality made product that will last for multiple years not one, but those days are long gone(thank you china manufacturing).

5.0 out of 5 stars Kajeet is a perfect solution for parents of teens, December 31, 2008

By	S. Brockus (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We bought the Samsung phone and Kajeet service for our son's 13th birthday and have been nothing but happy with the service. The phone is pretty basic, but the online service from Kajeet is fabulous.

We can put money into separate "wallets" on the Kajeet site and select whose "wallet" calls and text messages come out of. Calls and texts to parents and grandparents come out of our "wallet," while calls and texts to friends are paid for by our son.

It's a really great choice for a first phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 7 year old loves it!, November 15, 2008

By	J. Hanger "Proud parent" (washington, dc) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The M300 was the perfect choice for our 7 year old. He loves the kajeet sticker buddies that came with the phone and promptly decorated his phone with the characters. The parental controls are fantastic and keeps him safe too. We set it up so no calls or texts during school and homework hours, except for his parents. I think the kajeet phone really makes sense.
