    I have to say, that docked thread is really outdated. It is a pain having to read through the entire thread to get a more up-to-date list.

    Prepaid calling cards are not out dated. The list is pretty simple, bring what you would need for a camping trip, OR if a wild fire came and you had to flee. Hygiene kit, spare clothes, cell phone and charger, note pad(S) and pens and that should do it. You can buy food to snack on, packs of water, etc.

    Do you have any specific questions? You can always read through the end of the thread too for the most up to date info. Ask and we will answer. Thanks.

    As far as I'm aware those are the only legal way to answer a phone. I know in ontario its. "you may only press one button to answer the phone on the device." Assuming we are talking as the driver of a moving vehicle.

    Depends on if the company allows a new student to be on the phone while driving which I would say most won't let that fly.

    I think the first few pages covers everything you need.
