tm,
Thanks for letting us know! I am wondering if adult literacy programs
should have this kind of information available, and should suggest to
students that if they need to have their phones on, they should set them
on vibrator, PLUS have information available for those who need to know
how to get the vibrator option!

Usually the vibrate option comes with the battery...the phone provider
can get you to phones that are not too expensive that have the vibrate
capability...

Do all cell phones have a vibrate option?

Daphne,

You've raised an interesting question that I'll look into within our 
state's family literacy programs. I am curious, aren't students allowed

to put the phone on Vibrate and then discretely leave the classroom?
