Kajeet expands ahead of holidays

Just in time for the holiday shopping season, tween-focused mobile virtual network operator kajeet Inc. announced a new line-up of handsets as well as an expanded retail effort.

The MVNO’s new handsets include the Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. m300, an $80 phone available in red; the $100 Sanyo Katana II in pink or black; and the LG Electronics Co. Ltd. LX150 for $50.

Kajeet’s phones and services will be offered at more than 3,000 locations, including Best Buy, Target, Toys R Us, Longs Drugs and Limited Too stores, as well as through the MVNO’s Web site. Not all of the phone colors or models are available in all locations; for example, kajeet said that the black Katana II is available exclusively at Best Buy through Feb. 1.

Pay-as-you-go provider Kajeet is also trying to snap up subscribers who may be leaving MVNO Disney Mobile by offering a $50 airtime credit for customers who port in a Disney Mobile number by Nov. 10.
