Communication
Cell phones provide a convenient and direct way for parents to contact their children when they are at school, and vice versa. For example, if a parent is going to be working late, he can contact his child via text message to let her know. Similarly, students can use their cell phones to let friends know they are running late or to ask them about homework they might have missed.
Emergencies
If a student falls ill or is in danger, it is beneficial to be carrying a cell phone so he can contact someone immediately. For example, if a student is walking home alone in the dark and feels unsafe, a cell phone will enable her to contact someone to pick her up and drive her home. Or if a student is badly injured at a sporting event, other students can call an ambulance or a doctor.
Time-keeping
Cell phones are also a useful time-keeping tool. They allow students who don't have a watch to keep track of the time so they can be punctual to their lessons, and phones have anything alarm function to make sure they wake up on time each morning. Cell phones also have a calendar feature that students can use to input homework assignments and important dates to remind them to keep on top of their school work.
Silence Feature
Although cell phones could be disruptive during lessons if they were turned on, most phones have a silent feature that means they can be left on and fully functioning without the audio disturbing anyone.
