A while back I remember some company coming out with a phone for kids that doesn’t require pay as you go minutes, or minutes at all. Basically, you pay a one time fee, get two phones, and give one phone to your friend, keep the other phone, and those two phones could only talk to each other, but it was free and it could reach across town, or wherever you needed the reception to be. Well, no one seems to know the name of these phone/two way radio thingers, so I’ve been doing some reading on VoIP, and I ran across Skype, a phone service that sounded remarkably like the phones I’ve been searchig for. The only problem is that it’s not a PHONE but instead a mic on your computer and speakers and a headset, but I’m beginning to think that the phones I’ve been looking for uses this technology, because how else can you get basically free cell phone usage. So, here’s my question to you: Do you know the name of these elusive kids phones, or if not, do you know a product that is similar?

I would like to know Where to find a wireless bluetooth headset for PS3 and How much it cost?

There is, in (at least parts of) New Mexico (around Santa Fe).
I think using a headset is okay, though.

cell phone device (blue tooth, headset) yesterday?

I”m thinking about getting a bluetooth dongle for my Computer, and I’m wondering if it will work with my bluetooth headest. The headset was intended for a cell phone (Jabra), by the way. And the bluetooth dongle is this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14255

cell phone..??
I want to talk while i race to my opponents…

When do you have to use an ear piece while driving? Or has that law already gone into effect. I live in Washington State if that matters.

what about if you use a bluetooth headset. or if you text

American government is spending huge amounts of money to upgrade interstate highways in major cities to handle more traffic and often destroying homes, railroad tracks…in the way of the highway widening construction projects.
But, when I think about it, a large proportion of the delays are due to things like
A) Rubber-necking to take a look at road accidents
B) Switching many lanes at the last second and cutting people off in the process…or cutting people off when switching lanes in general
C) Lanes that force a merge and force people to cut other people off and/or hit the brakes and wait for an opening (they should build an extra lane in these areas to give more time for cars to merge)
D) People talking on cell phones (without headsets) and texting…and driving with about as much coordination and speed as drunk people.
In the case of A and B…I think a noticeable but not deadly fine (about $20…with no appearance on a driving record) would get people’s attention enough to make them quit those bad habits. Of course, police would need to take a video of the violation from their police cars to prove it in a small court (if the driver decides to appeal).
In the case of D, I think the solution seems simple enough on the surface. Put the violation on the driver’s permanent record and have them pay a similar fine to running a stop light on the first two or so violations. After that, impose drunk-driving penalties. Why? I’m a motorcyclist and have ridden for 1 year and have had 4 near accidents. Out of those 4 EVERY SINGLE ONE was caused by a driver talking on a cell-phone switching lanes very quickly (without looking or using their turn signal) when I was not in their blind spot, but beside them in rush-hour traffic (and honking loudly at them to get their attention)…I avoided them by going onto the shoulder of the highway. And no, it’s not “just a hobby”: I drive my motorcycle to work and have a paid permit to park it at my office garage: lower parking costs and 70-80mpg are the driving factors there.
Truth is….I am fairly convinced driver’s choosing to be clueless is responsible for over half of traffic jams. The other 40% or so, I figure, are from things like forced merge lanes and lines behind traffic lights that drivers can’t control.

Still…I wonder what’s keeping the police and government from building on-ramps and imposing laws to keep the above problems from happening. Any ideas?

not cell phones, just regular household phones.
