    Hi Mary Sue,

    I have used cell phones. If you are interested in podcasting, the podcast manager GCast can be useful. I used GCast in class to have my students respond to certain prompts via cell phone. It's an 800 number, and the process is a lot like leaving a message on an answering machine. It automatically converts the file to mp3 format for further editing or downloading.

    Good luck

    Jim
