Ready for a cell phone?

I have seen five year olds with their own keitai (cell phone). But, this is Japan.

I once saw a woman on the subway talking on one phone and texting on another at the same time!

You can get "locked" phones that can call home or parents' phones or emergency numbers, or other ones mummy and daddy program in.

You can also get phones that monitor their own location by reference to their base station, and automatically SMS the parents if the phone isn't where it should be. Somewhere between Big Brother and Where's Waldo?
