they have a motorola droid razr M phone for $0 with a 2 year contract. It's
a VERY nice phone with excellent battery life and can be rooted to remove
the crapware or reloaded with stock android from cyanogen-mod (unofficial
10.1 - no video mode but still mode camera OK).

*Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
