This is definitely something I am interested in. My daughter wants a cell phone. I won’t let her have one. Part of me wants to get her one for emergencies, but the other part of me doesn’t trust the idea of her texting and talking freely without my ear nearby.

i really think this is a great idea to let them have soem responsibility and ease my mind about where my kids are.

it’s a great idea and i would feel safe

it helps out both sides

my son really needs something like this, and it gives me a peace of mind

My aunt is getting elderly and lives by her self about 40 miles away, and I think if she had trouble on the road , was angered in her home in the back room, or needed me during a storm with the electricity out. This phone would be a great thing to have.

Such a good idea!

This would be great for my young tween daughter. She started a new paper route in our neighborhood, and she’s been taking my cell for safety. It’d be nice if she could have her very own!

Finally! I’ve been waiting for someone to come up with a phone system that would do all of this! I love the idea of being able to block calls to or from certain numbers and limiting how much “time” they can use up. My kids are too small for anything like this yet (at 2 and 5 even a cool system like this really isn’t necessary). I’m glad to know it’s out there for when the time comes though.

because sometimes cell phones get too complicated for the young.

Now this sounds like a neat phone to have, especially for a tween. My daughter is hard of hearing and I’m deaf, and I’ve been searching for a phone that will allow her to call some friends and for us to text, without breaking the pocketbook. What really attracts me is the GPS feature– especially because she wants to ride her bike and I don’t like not knowing where she’s going. This would be a wonderful way to check to make sure I could find her.
I also like the ContactManager– it’s nice to be able to have control about who is calling in.
And a pink phone– good gosh, the daughter would be in heaven.

Neat. My son wants a cell - I’m not ready for that, yet. I’d like him to have one for emergencies or when he’s at a friends house… but no other reason than that! It would be nice but hasn’t been a need, yet. The contact manager part of this is a HUGE plus!

This giveaway ROCKS! This phone would be perfect for my daughter who has been begging me for a pink cell phone. This is a cell phone that I would feel comfortable with her having. Thanks for sharing this cell phone with us!

Something like this phone would be perfect for my son. He has Aspergers and occasionaly has to deal with severe anxiety. Many times when he’s away from home (like at school or playing at a freinds house) something or other will make him so anxious that he’s unable to function normally. The only thing I can do to help him (short of going to pick him up) is to talk him through is anxiety over the phone. If we had a phone like this he would know that he always had a way to reach me. I think that in it’s self would help to relieve some of his anxiety. He could also send me a text message when he was needing me and then I could text me reassuranced back to him so that he didn’t have to stop whatever he was doing in order to make a phone call back to me.
Another issue with my son is that he’s a wanderer. Something like this with the GPS would be a real life saver in a worst case scenario situation.

I have heard about these phones really love the gps locator. My son could really use this he has this habit of not letting me know where hes is at LOL. I could feel alot better if he had a cell phone just in case of an emergency since he has so many allergies to things.

Because my 11 yr. old daughter wants a cell phone of her own. And she would have one that she could use when her and her sister go to their dad’s.

I’m a grown woman age 41 but my parents want me to have a cell phone for emergency purposes but I have never had one in my life nor can I afford one.

In short, I need this because I have a 16 year old daughter. Enough said.

I love the idea of having the control over a cell phone for my children. I am a single mom of six kids, I work in the same school district as my older children attend. (The three oldest are teens.)

I want to be able to get a hold of them, however, I don’t want the distraction of texting in class, or it getting taken away due to it ringing or beeping.

Letting them know that I can pick them up after school, or for them to go to soccer because I dropped off their uniform; would be wonderful. As of now, I have to call the office, let them know, and hope that the message gets to them in time.

With the two oldest being in high school together, it would be great to give it to one of them, and they can contact me if they need to.
This past year I had “Mom, I ripped my jeans”, “Mom, I have ROTC and I don’t have my uniform”, though the scariest, “Mom, they locked down the school because there is someone with a gun on campus.”

I want them to know that they got a hold of me, and that I am racing to the school to wait for them, if they feel safe, it will help calm them, and clear there head when an emergency truely arises.

This is a wonderful giveaway, thank you!

This would be so Perfect for my daughter.
Not only would it allow her to have her own phone but it will also allow me the knowledge that she is always safe.
I love the idea that it will also teach her responsibility. It will also help her to learn to budget her allowance so that she can keep using this phone.
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful giveaway.
I would LOVE to win !!

My 13 yo is a gift of God via adoption. He lives with fetal alcohol syndrome due to the behaviors of the woman who gave him birth. He needs an external brain to cue him to the norms of life. He cannot stop and think before acting or reacting. The fact that he would have a cell phone with him where ‘er he may wander…is priceless to me, mom.

Please enter me. Thank you.

I AM DISABLED AND ON OXYGEN. I SELDOM GET OUT ALONE. BUT WITH THIS MAYBE MY FAMILY. WOULD NOT WORRY AS MUCH AND LET ME OUT ALONE MORE OFTEN LOL

This is something that would be great for my 10 year old son. It would give him more freedom, which he’d like and I’d feel more secure in letting him out of my sight more.

My son really needs a phone, and I’ve been debating about getting a pay as you go phone to limit his usage, but a phone with a GPS would be great. It would really ease my mind to know that this is something I could use if ever the day came that he went missing.

As my young son is growing up; I really need this

My son wants and needs a cell phone so bad….These Kajeet phones sound perfect for kids. I really have my fingers crossed on this prize. Thank you so much for offering this giveaway.

School has only been out for a week and I am already hearing what can we do? Thanks for the chance.

I wish I’d had this last year.

My son wants a cell - I’m not ready for that, yet. I’d like him to have one for emergencies or when he’s at a friends house

I’d like to have the kajeet phone for my son so I wont worry about him when he is out playing. You can never be to safe when it comes to your kids.

thanks for the great prizes.

I have 2 teens and the GPS tracking would be really nice.

This would be great for my 7 year old grandson. He loses track of time, when he is playing with his friends. It would be great to call him with a reminder, without embarrassing him by tracking him down. This would help my grandson be more responsible and help us not worry so much.

I would use this to be able to contact my son when he needs to be picked up from after school projects.

I have a 10 year old who I feel similarly about–I want to give her a little more freedom, but I need the reassurance that I can find her, and that she can contact us, when needed. This phone package would improve my well-being because I wouldn’t worry about her so much, and it would improve her well-being because I wouldn’t have to hover! Thanks for the contest!

This would be prefect. It would help us feel that my grandson could reach us in case of emergency. And I could reach him if I needed to get him quickly. I would feel so much more at ease knowing he was a dial-away.

THANK YOU GOD BLESS

For me the #1 reson why I want to get her a phone is safety while playing at a friends house, or even at school…
It would actually effect our family dramaticlly because she would be able to play at friends more often and I would worry less (I am a parinoid parent) allowing me to relax a bit more, because I have a very hard time relaxing when she is not here at home.

this would be great for my son

I would definitely feel more comfortable if my daughter (age 9) had a cell phone. Kajeet phones are fantastic for kids. I hope I win this for her!

I like the idea of this kind of phone…especially the gps aspect!

What a cool contest. Please enter me. Thanks Anne

My son is only 5 so this is not for him, but I would give it to my neighbor. We’ve had some scary things happen in our neighborhood recently and my neighbor is concerned for her tween daughter who’s home for the summer. This would give her such peace of mind!

for my wonderful granddaughter.,…THANKS

It would be so much easier for my son to check in or for us to find him sometimes when he forgets to come home on time. I worry about him constantly.

I have three teenagers so that is the reason for needing it

Number 1 reason for my son to have 1 would be soo he will quit bugging me about getting him a cellie, 2.would be so he can finally have a way to socialize with classmates after school of course and be able to swap numbers with new friends or classmates and also the GPS would come in handy also even though i dont let him wonder to far.

My son’s been killin’ me, he’s begging for a cell phone so much!

[...] of you will give your child the safety to Explore with a cell phone package from [...]

I first have to say I love these phones!
Second Our family could really use one because we are always on the go to the baseball park, to the soccer field, to the mall, Mom going this way, Dad going that way for work, and our oldest daughter is at the age of wanting a cell well I personally think is to young but I could get used to the idea of one of these, well anyways she could use one of these to keep in touch with use and her step-mom! Thanks

My niece needs one.

Well I don’t have a cell and I always have to borrow my husbands to check on my kids.It will be so funny if they get to have a phone and I still have to use their dad’s

This would be perfect for us. My son will be going away to church camp for the first time this summer and he is also involved in soccer camp. I think this would be perfect for him to have so during the time he is away, especially at camp he has a way to call us daily and let us know he is okay and what he has done. Also that will give us the peace of mind that he can contact us the minute he needs us if something happens and with the stories in the news of kids getting lost on hikes it would be well welcomed so he could have it during hikes in the event something terrible like that happened to him. So please consider us for the cell phone giveaway as a mom making sure my son is safe and reachable is the most important thing!

i want to win

i’d like to win this one

I could really use this.

I’ve never had a cell phone. I’d like to join the club.

Whoops! Forgot to leave a comment! But I did post on my blog. Great giveaway!

very much needed at our homethe other day i had to pick up my daughter and she had gotten out of summer school early and left with her freind to get a ride home i sat and waited and was not aware besides the point it was lack of communication i think its her way of telling me to get her a cell phone

This would be Great for my son

My son would love this!!!

good for my daughter!

I used to think that cell phones for kids were absolutely ridiculous. I thought that while being an elementary school librarian. Now that I’m a librarian at the public library, I think much differently. For some reason our town is an attraction to dangerous people for children. Just last week a man was arrested at the public library for being an unregistered sex offender. As my son grows, he’s 8, he wants more freedom. He’s like to ride his bike around the block, go across the street to play on the school playground…and he wants to do this with me tagging along! A cell phone would be wonderful for him to have…and give me peace of mind!

my daughter has been begging for a phone and this one would be perfect for her

My 13 year old is “the only kid in his class” without a cell phone. This would eliminate one reason for him to feel isolated this summer.

My 12 year old daugher really wants a cell phone, it isn’t her I don’t trust but the fact that she is 12 and boys are noticing her.She made this cell phone thing out of paper to carry in her back pocket trying to make me feel sorry for her and buy her one.It didn’t work.If we had this though I would let her have a cell phone.It is a very good idea.

I would like the cell phone for my husband. He is not into electronics (well, except for his turntable!) and this simple phone would be great for him to use when I need to get hold of him and he is at his favorite record store..driving the owner crazy! I think it would be simple enough for him to use.

This would be super nice.. I need it!

My oldest child received a Kajeet phone for Christmas and we’ve been really happy with it. The phone works great and looks like a regular cell phone, not a kiddie phone. However, the kid and parent friendly features definitely made this the right choice for us. My other child wants one too!

my son really needs something like this.

i don’t have any children that are old enough to have a phone yet…but my sister does. i think this would really help the “battle of the cell” with her and my neice. all her friends have them. i think the Kajeet is a great compromise…she is able to get a phone and my sister can protect and watch over her at the same time. great product…thanks!!!!

My daughters wants a cell phone, I don’t want the high bills for too much texting or talking over minutes. Thanks for the giveaway!

What a wonderful prize!

Have a great day.

I would be the BEST Mom ever if I win this phone, plus it sounds like a great phone for kids! The features on this phone make it the perfect phone for my daughter, she is 10 going on 20, if you know what I mean! It will give her the independence she thinks she needs, plus it lets me put some controls on her phone usage. Of course, “ALL” her friends have a phone, and she is being so mistreated because we will not let her have one. It is more of a not needing to spend the extra money on a phone for her, than not wanting her to have a phone, so this would make us BOTH so HAPPY!!! Please pick us!!!

Such a great idead. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

Shopping with my 8 yr. old is a nightmare. She is always wandering and I spend all my time chasing after her making shopping for I need impossible. This would make life so much easier…I would feel more secure, that’s for sure!

great prize

Great concept. Thanks

I have a 16 yo that is getting his license soon and I would like him to have a cell phone when he is driving alone. I think this would help him feel more comfortable in case something went wrong with the car

We have a six pack of kiddos at our house. A cell phone would provide freedom and ease for both me and my children. To be able to let them out of my sight, knowing that we are only a text or ring away from each other. It would give us a feeling of security knowing that they can call to tell me they are leaving their friends, or they want to change their plans to go somewhere else…or for me to be able to get a hold of them and let them know I am leaving to pick up one of the siblings. I can’t think of a better way to communicate. I love the features offered by Kajeet and think they help protect our children from so many of the predators out there.

I would actually use this for my wife, who is severely disabled.

This would be a great prize to have and incredibly useful.

I have a 10 yo girl that I’d love to be able to give a little more freedom to. We live in CA and I have a small fear of abductions. I’d love to be able to let her ride her bike farther and give her more freedom. Thanks for offering this - it’s a great giveaway!

Some people just aren’t good with tech so the easier the phone is to use the more likely it is they actually carry and use it

because sometimes cell phones get too complicated for the young

What is the number one reason you’d like your child to have a cell phone?
I would LOVE to win this phone for Lissette’s Nephew. If I’m chosen, I will give my prize to her.
How do you think that having a cell-phone would improve your child’s or your family’s sense of well-being?
Her nephew is going through a rough patch and I would love to be able to provide this phone to their family to keep in touch.

Here’s the entire story.
http://lisseted.blogspot.com/2008/06/kids-with-phones.html

If you pick me, the phone will go directly to Lissette and her family.

thank you again for such a great giveaway!

I would love for my Daughter to have one, especially in emergency’s But also has anyone tried to find a payphone lately!!!Come on not everyone has a Cell phone (Elderly and younger children, or can’t afford one) and when you find one, if you are lucky to find one, it is $.50 for first three minutes…. remember when our parents said, make sure you always have at least a dime in your pocket to call home!!! I guess I am aging myself:) Christine

PS: Even my spell checker does not know what a payphone is

The GPS would be handy for keeping track of alzheimer’s disease.

My # 1 reason? My son has severe food allergies, and he’s only 6yrs old. He can’t read yet (but he’s learning) so he can’t decide for himself if a food is safe by reading the ingredient label. Most other adults are pretty clueless when it comes to what foods he can/can’t have. I’d love for him to have the ability to call me anytime/anywhere - on his own terms, and not waiting for the adult he’s with to call me - if he has questions about what he can eat while he’s away from home.

THAT’S how a kid-friendly cell phone would improve my family’s sense of well being.

Cell phone would be great for my daughter as she is involved in more activities

This would be great to win because my daughter is in a lot of activities and wants a cell phone but this would be a good test to see if we are really ready, well if she is ready to actually have one or it is just a toy she wants. THanks for the contest and the chance to win!

What an excellent product! My son would love his own cell phone and this one is perfect! I love being able to tell who calls and texts him. The GPS feature is also really great, now I can know where he is when he isn’t with me!!

My dad is a serious diabetic and he comes up often to help with Connor. I would love to have the phone to give to him when he is here.. plus then incase something happens I can find him.

I blogged you on Prize-A-Tron!
http://www.prizeatron.com

I would love to win this for my 7 year old. He will be walking home from school next year, by himself, and this would put my mind at ease, knowing he can contact me whenever he needs to.

Wow, a neat idea and a great way to know where your child is at all times.

I blogged. I said things that hurt very much to say but it is for my child and so it is good.
Thanks for the chance!

would love this 4 10 y/o son

Sometimes I’m not home in time to meet the bus and my kids have a 3/4 of a mile walk. I’d love for them to have a cell phone to call me and let me know they’re ok!

My 3 grandchildren need this for when they’re out by themselves. they need to keep in touch w/ us all so we feel safer!

We have three children. Our two boys will be in Middle School next year, our daughter in Elementary school. Both my husband and I work full time.
Last year, I was told by a good that the Middle School does not allow kids to call unless it’s an emergency.. however her daughter having her period at school was NOT considered an emergency. Hello?? That’s not an emergency to a 13 year old girl?
They expect your kids to have a cell phone. My how times have changed

The only reason my kids need a cell phone is for security and peace of mind. I want to know they’re safe and I want them to know they’re safe.

my grandkids will love it

i hope i win

My son would like this

thanks for the great prizes

No contacts!

I’ve been struggling with the ‘cellphone for a preteen daughter’ issue for about a month now. She’s old enough that we send her just down the street to the library, to park at her school down the street and twice a week she walks home from school and is home for 15 minutes before we get home. Occasionally my husband and I will take a 10-minute walk around the block. The big issue here is that recently we disconnected the “land line” and went to cell phones. All was well and good, until I realized that without a phone at home, my daughter has no way to call out if she needs to, which promptly ended the walks. This world is a scary place, and the fear even creeps into the rural communities. A 3rd cell phone, or going back to a land line is going to be mandatory, and we just don’t have the budget to do it right now.

Secondly, my daughter’s best friend loves to have my daughter over for sleep overs, but the family has no phone. At all. This makes me so nervous about my daughter staying there, partially for medical reasons, partially for the 100 other fears a mother can worry about at 3am when her child isn’t home.

Lastly, this plan really appeals to me, partially for the GPS locator, but also very much for the fact that it could be lifelong lessons to a child, such as budgeting minutes/extras such as text messaging and games, as well as to follow rules about who she can call and who/when she can’t. Learning to work within a budget, and then being held accountable for it applies to almost every aspect of being an adult.

Thank you for the opportunity to win something that would help eradicate a lot of the stress in our lives, and sorry for the novel! I need a blog!

just to cool

nice gift!

for my grandson!

I think that of course the number one reason children should have cell phones is for emergencies. I also think the GPS feature is excellent since children can get turned around, confused, or forgetful.

I would love to win this for my daughter.She is too young to get a normal cell phone but I would like her to have something in case of an emergency.This would definately make me feel alot better and I wouldn’t have to worry too much.I think this a great invention.Thank you for the contest with this great idea.

This would be great for my son.

My 10-year-old son has been begging for a cell phone for the past 2 years. This phone would be good because of the parental settings.

My son just turned 13, and he has a tendency to wander off and not call. He’s been begging for a cell phone for a few years now. He’d get one, if we won!

my older son will soon need to be able to reach me when he goes off to school

i feel this is a good starter phone for a youngster especially the gps tracking

This is great for my nephew…he is nine and very responsible and his mom’s wants him to get a cellphone.

My daughter has type 1 diabetes which is very brittle. I want to allow her more freedom, but still worry that if she has trouble with her blood sugar I won’t be there. If she has her own cell phone, she can reach me instantly if she starts having trouble. Plus the GPS locator is a huge plus for me. If she does pass out, I can instantly locate her. This prize would give her so much more freedom and a chance to have a “normal” childhood! Thanks for the great contest!

daughter has been begging for a phone this would get her off my back

Very cool!

This is a good idea. My kids are all over the neighborhood and I can now zero in on them.

like it - want it

This is a great way to stay in contact with our kiddos….

For emergencies

I really like the gps part; being able to know where someone is could actually save a life. Also I think it’s great that you can override the limit and have them still work on certain numbers even when the time has been used up. I still remember my son’s first (and last) cell phone bill - just under $300!

i would feel better with this type of phone

I want my it for security reasons. I want my child to feel safe and that it is just a push of a button away!

ive never been able to purchase a cell phone so this would be a nice treat

My son is 14 and had a cell phone because my husband and I both work and need him to be able to get ahold of us at all times. Unfortunately, his phone was in his back pack which was on the football sidelines during spring practice and now his phone does not work. I need to replace it but have no idea when I will be able to do this!! I would love to win this!!!

I’m the only one with a cell phone in our family, so when I take/leave one of my kids somewhere (4 kids), I give them my cell phone, then race home to be near the land line phone in case they call. It would be nice to have another phone so I can go on with my life when I need to, instead of sitting next to the plugged in phone at home!!! Lucky whoever gets this!!!

I would like to have this phone for the kids so when they go out I know where they are.

This is great. You get a cellphone without the possibility 0f being put into bankruptcy.

Very useful for keeping track of the kids.

That would make me feel so much more secure with the kids.

Due to the fact I’m currently unemployed, we had to cancel all our cell phones. My daughter is going to cross country camp over 600 miles away.
I was going to get here a phone card, but I know that she and I would feel more safe if she had a cell phone. This is the 1st time she will have been away from the family and I’m so worried. I know she is a very smart teen but in to days society you have to worry no matter how old they are. Thank you for giving this poor mom a chance at being able to breath a little easier because her child is going to be away from home.

I am not sure my 11 year old is ready for a traditional cell phone and would love to try this out to see how it works!

My niece’s responsibilty would grow exponentially; already she is learning how to make wise decisions.

it’s a great idea and i would feel safer

It would be a great way to keep track of what the teens are up to and to keep them safe.

would love to keep in touch at all times

My tween daughter’s eleventh birthday is this summer and this would be the absolute perfect gift!!
She’s asked when she would be old enough for a cell phone and made a very good sales pitch for needing one over the past year. I’ve told her that when she’s doing more things on her own and shows responsibility by taking care of her things that we would get her one. She has done an amazing job of holding up her end of the bargain - her room is almost always tidy and only very rarely (mostly thanks to her 2 year old sister) has anything of her’s been lost or broken. She’s just starting to do more things on her own and, very sweetly, let me know having a Mom hanging around or meeting her at the door of her classes isn’t necessary (or cool).
Unfortunately, the economy lately has made our budget very tight (groceries for six induces a sticker shock coma:) and it’ll be very difficult for us to live up to our end of the bargain.
This phone would give her the freedom she wants and deserves and me the security and peace of mind I need.
Thanks for the contest and pick me, pick me!!!

I have 3 grandkids and we live in a rural area so takes a load off the mind to know the kids have one

I would love to have the Kajeet cell phone for my grandchildren. They have moved out of state because their parents divorced. I can rarely speak to them. It is important to stay connected with people who love you. I want them to continuously know they are loved, and share their
thoughts and dreams.

I’d love to have this to both keep an eye on my son, while giving him more freedom as well.
