<p>For the cell phones, when we did the tours I checked to see if there was a signal. My daughter got a cell phone to use when she started driving, so she’ll be bringing that with her. It has unlimited texting and no roaming or long distance charges. We all share the minutes and my kids have all been told about the nights and weekends, so as not to use up all the minutes.</p>
<p>The only issue I can see with that is that if, for example, she makes a friend whose phone has a New York or Oregon area code, it will be long distance for them to call her. But I think most phones these days have the unlimited texting or nationwide long distance or something.</p>
