Kajeet is the only wireless service provider to offer such an innovative tool, making it possible for parents to both provide their kids with powerful Android™ smartphones and — at the same time — limit the types of websites they are able to access.

- How do I access mobile hotspot and share data on my Android™ device?
- For certain devices, mobile hotspot can be accessed from a pre-loaded app called “Sprint Hotspot”, found on the device’s main menu. If there is no “Sprint Hotspot” app on your device’s menu, mobile hotspot can be accessed by selecting “Settings” > “Wireless & networks” > “Tethering & portable hotspot”. Once you activate mobile hotspot, the device provides instructions on how to securely connect from another device. Learn more about free mobile hotspot from Kajeet here.
- How do I block or restrict access to Google Play (Android™ Market)?
- A free content filter is available on every Android™ device and works regardless of how your kid is connected to the Internet. It allows parents to determine what types of applications will be visible to their kid when he or she is searching in the Google Play store (previously called the "Android™ Market"). Apps are ranked by maturity label and parents can designate what types of apps are shown (and lock their setting preferences with a unique pin code). You can learn more about this tool here.
- Can I use money from my Kajeet wallet to purchase content from Google Play (Android™ Market)?
- Kajeet wallets cannot be used to purchase Android™ applications. In order to purchase content from Google Play, you will need to pay through a Google account. You can purchase Google Play gift cards here.
