I loved this phone for my son. The Locator service is great when they loose the phone! My son loved the camera feature and the ringtones.
I can’t really say how well we like the phone as I haven’t received it and now don’t plan to. I ordered (before noon as stated on their website, Kajeet’s, NOT Amazon, for same day shipping) & paid for priority overnight shipping, but the next day when I was to receive it- nothing! I called, they said “Oops, not processed yet.” No reason given! Just that for some reason it “missed” being processed. They offered to refund my shipping – which is the same as NOTHING as the salesman had already offered me free shipping if I wanted to go with 2 day ship. Now I’m looking at a 4-day ship! I would like to tell you how we liked the phone, but can’t as we’re most likely canceling our order. This was supposed to be a birthday git for our son whose birthday is this weekend, not next week! So I would say if you don’t mind not knowing when you’ll receive your phone you cold go ahead and try them. I figure though, if they’re going to lie to me up front, then I can’t really trust them in the future.
They also told me if I ordered from somewhere else, like Amazon, I couldn’t get the special they were running! But if I’d ordered from Amazon I’d at least have a phone now
I bought this phone from Amazon. When the phone came, it only came with $5.00 worth of air time. When I called Amazon, they told me to send it back. They aren’t sure if their listing description is correct or not. I was on the phone with them for over an hour with no one telling me the same thing or able to solve my problem. If I find out more, I will post another comment – in the meantime, you should assume that this phone DOES NOT come with $30.00 worth of air time.
The M300 was the perfect choice for our 7 year old. He loves the kajeet sticker buddies that came with the phone and promptly decorated his phone with the characters. The parental controls are fantastic and keeps him safe too. We set it up so no calls or texts during school and homework hours, except for his parents. I think the kajeet phone really makes sense.
We bought the Samsung phone and Kajeet service for our son’s 13th birthday and have been nothing but happy with the service. The phone is pretty basic, but the online service from Kajeet is fabulous.
We can put money into separate “wallets” on the Kajeet site and select whose “wallet” calls and text messages come out of. Calls and texts to parents and grandparents come out of our “wallet,” while calls and texts to friends are paid for by our son.
It’s a really great choice for a first phone.
