text: I believe that we should be able to have are cell phones because believe it or not they do let us know important things to. The importance of cell phones is that we can be alerted if anything bad were to happen via call or text. Say at lunch you were to turn on your phone and get a call or text that someone in your family has bean hurt and you need to head home immediately, if you did not have you're phone you would not have gotten that text and that would be trouble for you and perhaps the family member.
