Just the other day I was asked &#8220;what does it mean to jailbreak your phone?&#8221; To jailbreak your phone means you install special software on your phone that &#8220;breaks&#8221; the blocks Apple has placed on your phone.

No matter what type of phone you have, or which carrier you use, you can take advantage of Google Voice, which is a free service that allows you to select and use one telephone number as your primary telephone number for free.

My most recent postings have been in reference to an event in which I describe how I captured the backchannel from a &#8220;low tech&#8221; audience by using a team of iReporters.
