I have a pay-per-use cell phone to make any necessary emergency calls on; therefore, once I receive the Peek I can stay in touch by text or email with my friends, and, if necessary, I have the cell phone for any emergency calls. Tmobile has the best pay-per-use plan, in my opinion. Two years ago I put $100.00 on the Tmobile phone which put 1000 minutes on the phone. After 11 or so months goes by, I just put $10.00 back on the phone -- this keeps the phone from losing the remaining minutes, plus adds more minutes on the phone.

Is there any kind of address book for this? One would assume. @Gina: well, you could argue that you expose your kids' heads to less radiation using a peek than a cell phone (you don't keep it glued to your ear, you transmit and receive short burst of radiation instead of long ones), but peek still uses the same networks and airwaves (therefore, radiation) as cell phones.

This seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Why don't I want my kids using a cell phone? Because cell phones were invented and developed for military use only - they have never been tested for safety under the conditions that they are used now. I believe they are particularly dangerous for children - their brains are still developing and having a cell phone pressed to the ear for much of the day can't be healthy! It is like pressing your head up against the door of your microwave while the pop corn cooks! You probably wouldn't let your kids do that, yet kids of all ages can be seen talking on cell phones for hours on end.
