When I was in the church, missionaries were forbidden to even go on a computer. It seemed that slowly that loosened up and they were allowed to send emails home on p-day. I lost track of all the rules over the years, but I'm kind of curious with how the church deals with missionaries and smart phones.
Are they allowed to bring their iPhones, Androids, etc. along with them on their mission or are they checked at the door of the MTC? If they are allowed to keep them, how are they stopped from downloading music or apps, texting their girlfriend back home or looking at websites when they no longer have to go on a desktop or even laptop to do so?
Not that I care or anything, but I'm curious how the church is dealing with this new technology.
