College Free Phones
 Monclair State University tried something new with the advancing technologies. The university gave all incoming freshman a cellphone that comes equipped with a GPS tracker.Now, this is not to keep track of students and control them, each student have to opt-in for the GPS to be enabled, then the individual GPS features are also opt-in. So nobody has to be tracked. One key feature is called "The Guardian". For example if you are drunkenly stumbling back to your dorm room and concerned about getting mugged, simply enable the Guardian feature on your phone. A little blip of you will pop up at the police station and the Guardian will remain on for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes it will remind you to turn the Guardian off. If you do not because you were mugged, beaten, passed out or something else, the police will call the phone and also go to your location to find out what the problem was. But the one thing that makes this system great is the social networking features. Using web-based software you can create special social groups and allow other people to see your location whenever you would like by enabling the GPS tracking. This could be especially convenient trying to meet up on campus for studying, or better yet, meeting up at the bars. Now the catch, we said that these cell phones were free, but they are included in the tuition. Students can chose from a wide variety of Nextel-based phones available. In the end, it is something that students and the school can benefit from. Just wait until the parents start looking into where you are going! unlocked cell phones, cellular phone handset, camera phone pics, mobile phone reviewsunlocked cell phones, cellular phone handset, camera phone pics, mobile phone reviews
