twkajeet — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 17:11:37 +0000

The birds are singing, and flowers are blooming. It’s Spring!!

On our casual stroll into kajeet HQ today, we decided to take a couple of pics of the beautiful flowers with the LG Optimus. The 3.2 Mega pixel camera on this phone is ahh-mazing! After you’re done taking pics, share with your friends!

Can you tell on which images we were able to use the handy White Balance Adjustment Tool?

Get the Optimus for only $149.99, but only until April 16th.

3 Reasons Your Kid Needs a Tablet

twkajeet — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 16:23:56 +0000

Reading. Three great e-reader apps like Amazon Kindle, Google Books, and the Nook are all perfect for your kid to read all their favorite books without the weight or running the risk of library fines. With the new Bring Your Own Device initiatives going on in some states, tablets will prove quite useful.

Gaming. Angry Birds. We’re all shamefully addicted, but it’s a great distraction when you’re out in public. Plus, kids love the high resolution tablet screens. But not to worry, there are also educational gaming apps that can also do the same. A Nielsen study showed that about 57% of kids use their parent’s tablets for educational purposes.

Text Messaging. Yep! You can send text messages from a tablet, because it has a phone number assigned to it, just like a phone. But the great thing about purchasing a Tablet from kajeet is the safety of free parental controls. You can still manage who can/can’t text your kid and vice versa.

Kajeet now offers two 7 inch tablets – The Samsung Galaxy 7.0 and the HTC Evo View. Plans are affordable and come with free parental controls. Call 240-482-3488 to order your tablet today!

Do Cell Phones Keep Your Kids Up at Night?

Jill Tecler — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:47:14 +0000

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal revealed that kids today are getting less sleep than recommended – and suggests that advances in new technology may partially be at fault. No longer are books and radio considered the main culprits. Now television, the Internet and cell phone activity are what researchers believe are causing kids to get less sleep – and late night texts, calls or emails certainly don’t help (something our free parental controls can prevent!).

Do cell phones keep your kids up late? How do you manage this?
