The screen on this phone went blank almost right out of the box. Their online support is ridiculous – they gave me a customer service number and I was on hold for OVER one hour and still no one ever answered (Yes, I called during business hours). Waiting for instructions on how to get a refund of the money we loaded on the account.

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.

Bought this as a stopgap because I lost my regular phone. The monthly $4.99 deal from Kajeet is excellent if you don’t use a cell much, though you cannot get the advertised rebate if you sign up for the cheapo plan. Extra minutes are 10 cents, which can add up. Coverage in DC area is OK, but noticably less than my other network. Even if buying for yourself, you have to keep transferring money from “parent” to “kid”, which is a a bit annoying but easy to do online. Be sure to give the parent and kid different names even if they are both you because names can’t be changed once set up. There are lots of handy features to control your tyke’s talk time, like limiting times of use but permitting calls to certain numbers all the time. The phone itself is nice except that the battery life is awful, it needs recharging after being on for less than a day even if talk time is minimal. Kajeet offers other phones that may be worth the extra bucks.

This phone is perfect for my family needs. My son is 10 and isn’t quite ready for a cell phone of his own, but I needed something to keep on hand for certain events where he would be without me. The best thing about this phone is the online controls. You can establish which numbers the phone can call and which numbers can call the phone! And yuo can monitor all phone calls made from the phone online. I also used the GPS tracking for the first month free and it was fairly accurate. But it doesn’t work if the phone is off or is out of range. It’s a nice little phone perfect for my 10 year old. I’m glad we bought it.

phone works well – especially with the extra $ that comes with it. Kajeet offers a good service for kids, where parents get to have a lot of control over the times, and numbers kids can call/receive calls from.
