What sets you apart from other service providers?
Kajeet for Education is brought to you from the creators of kajeet, the cell phone service that has always put first. Our direct experience with families and kids of all ages gives us a leg-up over the competition: We know what are important to any mobile service for kids, their parents and their teachers.
Our mission is to ensure the safety of each student while teaching them responsibility. That's why we've created the Sentinel™ Platform that provides an intelligent mobile web filtering solution and other differentiators like device data limits, time controls for data usage and both administrator and end-user alerts that teach students to use their devices responsibly
Kajeet for Education services are designed, built and sold with schools in mind. We know how school budgets work and we aren't 'adapting' to them -- we're designing for them! We'll work within your needs and without the exposure of overages and crazy fees!

What sorts of ways can I customize web filtering for my devices?
With Sentinel™, you can customize your filtering preferences practically as much or as little as needed! Decide which types of URL categories get allowed or blocked, create custom white and black lists for individual URLs or apply time-based filtering to differentiate filtering preferences for different blocks of time (like school, home, and bedtime).
Sentinel™ allows you to create Filter Groups for a large number of students whose devices you wish to place on a particular filtering setting, or you can just as easily customize your settings on the individual device level.
-
What is your pricing structure?
The Kajeet for Education business model is built specifically to cater to the needs of the K-12 Education market! Our prepaid solution ensures that you never go over budget, and it's flexible to meet the requirements of your program. All devices share a pooled data bucket that never expires - that means NO per-unit pricing and NO per-month rate for data! There are also NO overages (no surprise bills!), NO minimum order quantities, and NO minimum terms.

Do you have a solution available for which the parent (not the school) pays for filtered data?

With Kajeet Smart Blocker™, parents have the ability to customize which types of websites and applications get blocked. Other Kajeet Parental Controls allow parents to block calls and texts during class time. And because parents are paying for this service, there is no cost to the school or educational institution!
