When I was shopping for a cell phone for my teenage daughter, I had no idea what I was doing. I had never had a cell phone before, but it was what she really wanted for Christmas. I also thought it was a good idea for me to be able to keep track of her, now that she was so independent.

I had no ideas what questions to ask, but the sales person was excellent. He suggested that I get one that had secure gsm. I had no idea what that was, so I just nodded my head and agreed. Like I said, I was a little lost in the store.

I bought the one with the cell phone encryption that he had recommended and my daughter loved it. In the end, that is all that mattered. That, and the fact that I would feel better knowing where she was.
