Samsung a107 Prepaid GoPhone (AT&T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just got this phone for when my mom-in-law is visiting from Taiwan.
Looks like a good basic phone. Voice quality during test calls in our house was decent.
My main issue is with the included $15 Airtime Credit. There was no Pay As You Go card included, after activation I could not make any calls, and AT&T's web site claimed "Need Initial Refill," so I "refilled" my phone account via credit card with $15. About *two hours* after activation, I received an SMS that the original $15 Airtime Credit was added to my account. Had I known, I would not have "refilled" my account.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What services will trigger the daily charge on the $2 Unlimited Daily Talk & Text plan? A: Services that trigger the charge are: a voice call (including calls to voice mailbox), using IM, sending a text, picture/video/sound message. The use of data (Pay Per Use or Package), does not trigger the daily charge.

Q: May I add a data feature package to the 30-day $60 Unlimited Talk & Text or $75 Unlimited Talk & Text Plus 200MB Data rate plans? A: No. The only options for these two plans is the Pay-Per-Use data rate of $.01/KB included in the plans. Once a customer on the $75 Unlimited Talk & Text Plus 200MB Data Plan exhausts their 200MB, they will revert to the Pay-Per-Use data rate of $.01/KB included in the plans.

Q: What if I don't use all of my data on the $75 Unlimited Talk & Text Plus 200 MB rate plan within 30 days? A: You begin each 30 day period with a new allocation of 200 MB to use; there is no 'rollover' of unused data.

LG LX 125 Refurbished Prepaid Phone for Kids, Silver (Kajeet) with 1 year of GPS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This phone were a real disappointment. I wouldn't recommend buying one. We've used Kajeet for two years with other phones and the service was everything that they advertise ( cheap, kid friendly, reliable). Unfortunately, not this time. I ordered two of the LG LX125 phones and neither can connect with the Kajeet network. We have another Kajeet phone (LG Rumor) at the same location which works beautifully, so I'm betting that the phones are defective. After a series of phone calls and emails, I still can't get an answer as to whether the phones are defective or the Kajeet network doesn't support them. So far all, I've gotten is promises that someone is working on the issue and will call me back. We've been doing this for three weeks. Unfortunately by trying to work with Kajeet, we have gone through the window that one of the phones can be returned to Amazon. Kajeet refused to honor the warranty saying that we had to go through Amazon. I'm still trying to get a refund for the activation fees and the month of service so we'll see. But so far, we have two silver door stops and two really disappointed children.

About Kajeet Kajeet was founded by three 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). Kajeet's entire philosophy springs from a simple core idea: kids are smart. And they should be agile with technology, empowered and safe, and be able to respond with confidence to what's happening in their world.

Kajeet's GPS Phone Locator service helps both kids and parents find the kajeet phone. It uses satellite technology to help find your child's phone and gives subscribing families easy-to-use information regarding the location of their kajeet phone via Web-based maps. Parents can schedule automatic location checks at specific times of the day, so they know where their kid's kajeet phone is at any given time--whether the phone is in their child's backpack on the school bus or in their sports bag at soccer practice. Kids can also use the service to help find their phone. The GPS Phone Locator service is $9.99 per month.
With Kajeet, the money in your Kajeet wallet--paid in either as pay-as-you-go or as part of a monthly plan--can be used for whatever you want: texting, talking, games, ringtones and more. Plus, at no extra cost you get voicemail, caller ID, and some of the lowest talking and texting rates around. You can choose pure pay-as-you-go flexibility, and refill your wallet either online or using Kajeet refill cards (available at select retailers). You might also want to consider the value of a Talk and Text Pak plan. Each is good for one month, and if your kid uses it up before that, you can just pick up a new Pak and start fresh.

* Kajeet charges a service fee of 32 cents per day, which amounts to about $10 per month. This fee applies to pay-as-you go plans only. Monthly plans and bundles do not charge a daily access charge. This access charge guarantees you low rates for voice and messaging, and gives you access to the Kajeet Navigator (which provides downloadable ringtones, wallpaper, games and apps) and to the Kajeet Configurator (which enables you to personalize your kajeet service to match your specific needs).
