Cell phone options for college-bound son

[davec]

raz, graylocks- thanks for your posts and input. I do realize that my son's use of a cell phone may change quite a bit while he is at college. We will need to closely watch how much he uses the phone and consider changing plans if needed. I will check into the google voice option. I have much to learn about cell phones, VOIP, etc. davester-I avoid driving anywhere near our high school at the end of the school day. It is terrifying to see the number drivers with their heads down (apparently texting) as they are pulling out of the school parking lot at the end of the day. Iowa just passed an "anti-texting" (while driving) law. We will have to see how much difference that law makes... rgG- thanks for your insights and advice. Thanks for the calllingmart.com suggestion.

I sincerely appreciate all the input and advice!
