Tech Tools Manage Mobility


By Daniel Neal

Work vs. play. Rebellion vs. rules. Your own style vs. fitting in. And don’t forget about allowances. We know it’s not always easy being a kid! But happily, here’s how kajeet™ can help:

  • MANAGING YOUR NETWORK: Main Street USA has changed from the time when your parents were kids. These days Main Street—the place where you meet family, friends and classmates—is your network, and it’s held together by technology. Kids need a tool, made just for them, to help manage it all. Enter kajeet™!

Mobile tech strengthens networks—allowing you to remain in close contact when you want or need to —and helps create new ones—building friendships and developing new interests.

  • SOCIAL DEMANDS: Growing up, some important needs come into play: being part of the group on the one hand and discovering your own voice on the other. kajeet™ helps meet both these needs because it’s a shared technology that invites you to make it your own. Unlike other mass-market products like television, movies and CDs, you can change your kajeet™and customize the look, sound and contents just the way you want. kajeet™ helps you stay in touch, while giving you the space to be creative, expressive and to keep on changing as you do.
  • LEARNING & COMPETING: Your cell phone is a powerful tool that can be used for more than talking or entertainment. When it comes to school, students are expected to master technology in order to excel. Library catalogue cards and microfilm are headed the way of the dinosaur. Kids need to understand technology in order to use libraries, databases and research tools. From accessing Google maps to online newspaper archives, kajeet™ is more than just a cell phone, it’s a mobile tech compass that helps you navigate your world.
  • BUDGETING & RESPONSIBILITY: Learning how to budget and deal with money is often considered a chore, when the truth is it helps you gain a sense of independence. So we designed kajeet™ to help you learn about budgeting in a natural way; deciding what services and features you want most and how best to budget for them. With our simple pay-as-you-go plan, you’ll never accidentally spend more than you want to, and there’s no long-term contract to sign.


One of the big ideas behind kajeet™ is that families should work together to decide the role mobile tech plays in their lives. That conversation—What are the limits? What are the rules? How much access should kids have? How much money can they responsibly manage?—is played out over the dinner table each night in one way or another. Each family has its own rules and its own dynamic. We made kajeet™ to be a tool that encourages that conversation so everyone can have a voice.The tween years are a time of incredible change and growth. That’s why we created kajeet with just you in mind. This isn’t your parents’ pocket planner, car phone or remote control. We’re kajeet™: and we were made for each other.
