The purpose of this blog has been intended to address environmental, safety and health issues for the family and planet. Mobile cell phones for teens and young children would definitely fall under the category of safety, in my thought process. Therefore, I'd like to share with you about a cell phone company that offers quite a selection of plans and controls, plus there are no annual contracts or activation fees.
I'm sure there are a lot of arguments, good and bad, for kids and teens having their own cell phones. In my opinion, the #1 positive would point to the issue of children being able to reach their parent or emergency service provider, in the event of an emergency. Beyond the scope of emergency situations, parents also want a way to ensure they can keep in touch with their children throughout the day.
Keeping "tabs", some may call it, is the responsibility of every parent. And with a mobile phone, parents and children can communicate their schedules, whereabouts, curfews, etc., to one another.
But, an issue that is often talked about, is the misuse of cell phones by the kids. Texting or talking on the phone at inappropriate times, (i.e. middle of the night, at school, etc.), talking to people that the parent doesn't want them talking to or the parent doesn't know, or even using the phone to harass or badger other kids.
There's a great mobile phone resource that is available that has all the parental controls, a budgeting system, GPS Locator, no annual fees and plan limitations all in one. It's offered by Kajeet, and there are plans as low as $4.99 a month.
Statistics show that 54% of teens were texting daily in a survey taken in September 2009. Half of the teens send more than 50 text messages a day, or 1,500 texts a month, which may or may not, be excessive to a particular parent. Older teens are shown to text even more.
With the Kajeet phone, parents can monitor the phone usage in real time and provide the necessary guidance to keep kids safe and focused on all their other responsibilities. And, then there's the feature of having no annual contracts, no activation or termination fees and a plan can be changed at any time.
A Kajeet mobile cell phone would be a great graduation gift to family or friend's children. Since, there are no contracts or activation/termination fees, the gift could be given with no strings attached or future financial or contractual responsibility of the giver. Then, it would be the responsibility of the receiver and/or their family, to decide whether to continue the use of the Kajeet phone and/or modify the type of plans/services
