An Open Letter to Patricia Bieber
December 8, 2010
Justin Bieber’s mother apparently canceled the teen pop star’s cell phone service as punishment for an argument the two had while on tour. – AOL Music
Dear Ms. Patricia Bieber,
We just heard the news that you recently cancelled your son’s cell phone service because of an argument between the two of you. As parents ourselves, we applaud you! It is refreshing to see that even world famous teen pop stars need to listen to their mother and not misbehave! Good call with targeting his cell phone too. In today’s technology-focused world, cell phones are a great tool to teach responsibility and consequences. Taking away cell phone service for any teenager is rough on them, as Justin probably discovered. But hey, even with a son as successful and well-behaved as yours, Mom is still the boss!
If you have not previously heard of us, we are kajeet® – the safest cell phone service for kids. In short, we are a flexible and affordable cell phone service, with free unlimited parental controls, that give parents the ability to teach their teens and tweens to use cell phones in a safe, responsible manner. Our parental controls allows caring parents, like yourself, to limit the content their kids can access, determine when the phone may be used, and restrict who can call or text in and out. We feel like our service can really help you because our service makes it easy for you to manage his cell phone use without having to cancel any plan entirely. Specifically, you can set up our parental controls (all online!) to allow only a few important phone numbers from people you trust to reach Justin’s cell phone. This means you can still flex your mom muscle with Justin but still make him available to yourself and his mentor, Usher, at all times. It is always nice to know that your son or daughter is only a phone call away. And we must admit, we don’t want Justin to miss out on the chance to learn new dance moves from Usher!
We thank you for being such a good role-model for caring parents around the world. It is truly inspiring to see you raise Justin so strongly in front of our eyes. We think every parent should learn about our cell phone service and decide on their own whether or not it is right for them. You can view our feature demo here to learn more about us. We wish you and Justin the best of luck in the future.
Sincerely,
Your friends at kajeet
Instructions for Activating or Replacing Your kajeet Phone
November 30, 2010
If you got someone a kajeet cell phone for the holidays, or if you received one, the first thing you need to do is to activate your phone. You can do this entirely online! Need help? Just reference our FAQs below:
What is “activation?”
Prior to use, each kajeet account needs to be set up with parent (or guardian) information and assigned a phone number. Once you activate your phone, you will automatically be enrolled in the rate plan you chose when the phone was purchased.
The phone I want to activate is for a NEW kajeet user (someone who has not had a kajeet phone before). What do I do?
Activating your phone is easy! Click here to get started. Be sure to have the kajeet phone you are activating with you, as you will need information found on the handset for the first step.
I’m already a kajeet customer. I want to transfer my current kajeet service to a new/different phone. What do I do?
To switch your current service to a new phone (for an existing kajeet user), just follow these steps:
1. Log into kajeet here.
2. Go to your Account Summary page. Scroll down the page to access the “Add a Phone” tab, as shown below.
3. Click on the “Add a Phone” tab. You will see an option that reads “Replace a Phone.” Click on the link right underneath (the one we circled below).
4. You will be asked to select the phone you would like to replace/upgrade (in the event you have multiple phones on your account) and for the ESN or MEID of your phone (be sure to have your new kajeet phone handy during this process!).
What if I am moving/porting my existing cell phone number to kajeet?
You will need to contact kajeet Customer Care if you are porting (moving) a number from another cell phone service provider to kajeet. Have a copy of your bill and/or account login information with you when you contact kajeet Customer Care. While we are working to make this process as fast as possible, it can take up to 3-4 days to port a number (we are dependent upon other telecommunications companies and they are all busy at this time of year).
How can I reach kajeet Customer Care and what are the kajeet holiday Care hours?
Our Care department can be reached at 1-866-452-5338 or at care@kajeet.com. Kajeet Customer Care is closed on Christmas Day to give our hardworking care personnel the day off with their families.
Our Holiday Care Hours are as follows:
- Monday, December 6 – Friday, December 10: 9:00 am to 9:00 pm
- Saturday, December 11: 9:00 am to 6:00 pm
- Monday, December 13 – Friday, December 17: 9:00 am to 9:00 pm

Kajeet 101: The Parent and Kid Wallet
November 5, 2010
As a kajeet customer you are given a powerful array of cell phone parental controls to safely ease your kids into new technology…all for free! One feature – the WalletManager – allows parents to teach their children to use cell phones in a responsible manner without incurring an expensive phone bill.
Here is how the WalletManager works:
Every kajeet phone comes with two wallets – a Parent Wallet and a Kid Wallet. Each wallet serves a different purpose and pays for different services.
Kid Wallet: If your kid does one of the following, charges are deducted from this wallet:
- Uses features like Mobile Web or Picture Messaging that are not part of his or her monthly service plan
- Buys a game or children ringtones
- Exceeds the number of minutes or texts allotted in his or her service plan
Parent Wallet: This “buffer” fund can be used to help out in the following situations:
- If your kid needs to reach you and has used up all of his or her minutes or texts (this wallet makes sure you can always stay in touch);
- If you want to pay for certain calls or text messages. Want to be sure your son calls grandma on her birthday? You can designate that the ParentWallet is charged for those minutes.
This is just one of the many reasons why kajeet is a great cell phone service for kids! Click here to learn more.
