LG Rumor2 Prepaid Phone, Black (Kajeet)
Product Description
If you need to stay on top of your text, email and instant messaging as well as your social networks, the next-generation LG Rumor2 for Kajeet makes it easy to quickly communicate thanks to its slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Perfect for those who want an affordable phone that keeps them connected just about anywhere they go at a great value, this new version of the popular Rumor features an expanded QWERTY keyboard with an additional row for easier typing, increased screen resolution to QVGA clarity, and Bluetooth stereo music streaming. It also has a removable backplate, allowing users to personalize their phone.
It's perfectly paired with Kajeet's cell phone service, made for kids and parents alike. Choose a budget Kajeet plan or simply pay as you go. Kajeet plans are prepaid--this means no contracts, penalties or other annoyances. Kids will love the phone's features--talking, texting, taking pics, playing, and then some. Parents will love the suite of parental controls, budgeting tools, and the security of GPS location. Everybody wins.
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.
Because having a cell phone is not just fun, it's a responsibility--a shared responsibility, Kajeet wants parents and guardians to be involved too. Thus, Kajeet is designed to incorporate a full suite of tools to help families customize and manage every aspect of their Kajeet experience. For more on Kajeet's pay-as-you-go charges and monthly voice and text plans, see the Kajeet Service section below.
Phone Features
The Rumor2 offers one touch access to messaging through a softkey from the idle screen and it automatically populates the messaging menu when the slider is opened. You can check e-mail from multiple accounts from familiar providers including Yahoo! AOL, Gmail and Microsoft Live, as well as check instant messaging services. To personalize the text messaging experience, the Rumor2 offers the ability to assign "text tones" to address book entries for audible identification of text message senders.
The Rumor2's face has a 240 x 320-pixel LCD (262K colors), five-way navigation toggle, soft keys, and numeric keypad, and it smoothly slides open to the left to reveal the QWERTY keyboard (which automatically switches the screen to landscape mode). The internal phonebook has a 600 contact capacity, each with space for seven phone numbers, three email addresses, one Web address, and one IM address. You can also assign a photo ID to a contact entry, as well as assign it to a group as well as to a specific ringtone.
Hands-free communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This phone provides the latest version of Bluetooth connectivity--version 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), which makes pairing with the included headset as well as other Bluetooth devices a snap. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server (additional charges or subscription applicable).
The 1.3-megapixel camera provides three resolution options (1280 x 960, 640 x 480, and 320 x 240 pixels), and features up to a 15x digital zoom, brightness and white balance controls, self-timer, and in-phone image enhancement. It also provides support for PictBridge technology so you can print your photos without the need of a PC (either using USB or Bluetooth). You can record video at two resolutions--176 x 144 and 128 x 96 pixels--at up to 2 hours for saving to memory card or in 10- or 20-second lengths for sending via messaging or email. Videos can be used as ringers and screen savers
Other features include:
The LG Rumor2 weighs 4.2 ounces and measures 4.4 x 2.1 x 0.7 inches. Its 950 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5 hours of talk time, and up to 168 hours of standby time. It runs on the 800/1900 CDMA frequencies; 1xRTT Voice & Data Capable.
Kajeet Service
The Kajeet pay-as-you-go service delivers a full range of customizable voice, text, instant messaging and data services that enable kids to stay connected with family and friends. While kids will love the phones offered by Kajeet, parents will love the affordability of the Kajeet pay-as-you-go service with no long-term contracts, no activation or termination fees, and no roaming or extra long distance fees.
The exclusive Kajeet Configurator offers easy-to-use tools for both kids and parents, with such budget and usage management features like WalletManager, TimeManager, ContactManager and FeatureManager that enable tweens and their families to tailor the service to meet their specific needs. Wireless network coverage for Kajeet is provided by Sprint on its CDMA-based Nationwide Sprint PCS Network (check out thenationwide coverage map).
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).
