Kajeet, the cell phone service for kids, is based in Bethesda, MD, but kids are the center of our universe. Kajeet keeps parents talking with their children and teens with online parental controls and kid-friendly features. With kajeet, there are no pesky contracts or surprise bills. Parents can find kajeet phones online at kajeet.com and Amazon.com.

Our story began with three dads figuring out how technology, kids and parents work best ("kajeet" is an anagram of the first letters of the names of the company's founders' children). Thinking of our own kids, we designed a service to provide them with everything they need to safely explore the exciting new world of mobile tech.

We believe kids are smart. At kajeet our entire philosophy springs from this simple core idea. We want kids to be agile with technology. We want kids to have fun. We want them to be empowered and safe, and we want to help them respond with confidence to what's happening in their world.

Not incidentally, we want their parents and guardians to be involved too. Because having a cell phone is not just fun, it's a responsibility - a shared responsibility. So we've designed kajeet to incorporate a full suite of tools (we call it the kajeet Configurator) to help families customize and manage every aspect of their kajeet experience. Better known as "parental controls", our toolkit helps parents ensure their kids are safe and helps kids to use their phones responsibly.
