The driver who was texting around the time he struck and killed 16-year-old Forrest Cepeda in July was arraigned in Deschutes County Circuit Court on Tuesday.

Erik Mackenzie Conn, 28, appeared by video from the Deschutes County Jail. He is charged with second-degree manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, reckless driving and reckless endangerment. On Tuesday, Conn’s bail was set at $250,000.

Conn was driving a pickup truck with a utility trailer along Southeast Reed Market Road in July when he swerved and struck Cepeda, who was riding his bike with a friend on the road’s shoulder. A search warrant return showed Conn was texting on his cell phone in the minutes leading up to the accident.

Conn was ordered not to contact Cepeda’s family or the child who was riding with Cepeda at the time of the accident.

Welcome to the 411, my column answering all your questions about cell phones and cell phone accessories. I receive plenty of questions about these subjects via e-mail, so I figured many of you might have similar queries, too. At times, I might solicit answers from readers if I’m stumped. Send your questions and comments to me at nicole.lee@cnet.com. If you prefer to remain anonymous, let me know in the e-mail.

I currently carry 2 phones, one Verizon (CDMA) and one ATT (GSM). This has served me well at getting coverage most everywhere I go. But what I would really love to do is combine the 2 accounts onto 1 phone. Are there any devices available that I could combine the 2 accounts (Verizon ATT) onto a single phone? — TC, via e-mail

I would say probably not. There are dual-mode CDMA/GSM phones like the Verizon world phones, but the GSM chip in those handsets can only be used with overseas carriers. These phones can be SIM unlocked, but even then, many of them have additional locks that make them unusable with either ATT or T-Mobile. If you do want to use two accounts in one phone, I can think of dual-SIM card handsets like the Blu Speed and the Duet D888 , but these are GSM-only. If anyone has other ideas, please let us know in the comments.

Hi Nicole. Does the Motorola Droid Bionic come with the option to buy it unlocked. I would like to buy foreign prepaid SIM cards for use overseas? I travel a lot. If not what would your recommendation be for someone who travels a lot and partially lives overseas and get all or most of the features these phones have to offer. Thank you for your advice. — Dwayne, via e-mail

No, the Motorola Droid Bionic is a Verizon Wireless phone, which makes it a CDMA device. The use of SIM cards is a GSM technology. The Droid Bionic does have a SIM card in it, but that’s an LTE SIM card, which is purely for 4G data and not for voice. If you want a Verizon world phone, you can opt for the Motorola Droid Pro , the Motorola Droid 3 , the Motorola Droid 2 Global , the HTC Droid Incredible 2 , the HTC Trophy (which is a Windows Phone), the BlackBerry Bold 9930 , or the BlackBerry Torch 9850 . You can ask Verizon to unlock these phones when you travel abroad as long as you tell them you’ll be using foreign SIM cards with them.

Another option would of course be to choose any smartphone from T-Mobile or ATT, as they are GSM carriers. If you want to go unlocked, that’s even better, as you don’t have to sign up for a two-year contract. Our favorite unlocked phone at the moment is the Samsung Galaxy S II , though you have to purchase it at a far more expensive price.

Incidentally, the Galaxy S II will also be available under contract from T-Mobile, ATT, and Sprint (in the form of the Epic 4G Touch) if you want it cheaper and you’re not opposed to contracts.

I am currently an ATT customer with an iPhone 4 and can’t afford it. Can I switch to a simpler mobile plan in your opinion? Safely? Will they “unlock” it? A term new to me. Or can MetroPCS handle the iPhone yet? thx! — kholo, via e-mail

You definitely can’t use the ATT iPhone 4 with MetroPCS, because MetroPCS is a CDMA carrier while the iPhone 4 for ATT is a GSM device. Even if you did unlock the iPhone 4, you wouldn’t be able to use the phone on MetroPCS. As for unlocking the phone, carriers typically don’t do it unless you give the excuse of international travel, and even then it’s a case-by-case basis. From what I understand, ATT generally doesn’t unlock its iPhones. Even if you did, though, you would have to get a Micro-SIM card from the other carrier, which isn’t always possible. You could also try unlocking the phone yourself, but it’s fairly complicated.

As your primary concern seems to be saving money, I would suggest bringing that concern up with ATT customer service reps and see what they say to you. Be assertive and say that you’re willing to change carriers if they don’t lower the bill. Sometimes this works, although sometimes it doesn’t. You could also lower your data plan to the minimum 500MB, which is $15 a month, and lower your monthly voice minutes to the minimum, too. If none of these tactics makes your monthly bill any lower, then you might just have to give the phone up and get a handset with a cheaper plan. If anyone has other ideas, let us know.

These are ‘reverse’ for the reason that instead of the usual directories where a person is capable to look for the telephone statistics from the name and address of the person, the free reverse phone lookup directories allows a person to draw the name and address of the person from the telephone number.

These online services are not completely free of charge of cost. Some fraction may be free of charge other than in order to obtain full and detailed report; there might be a little price to be paid. Currently the information about the name and address of the telephone number down with the information of the service supplier is willingly obtainable at the click of a mouse.

These online directories function at various levels. Some might be catering to limited or State level numbers. Some others contract with the nation-wide reverse lookup phone numbers free of charge. And, you can even discover the directories offering free reverse phone lookup services at international levels.

The international directories create use of the print directories obtainable in these countries, the yellow pages and extra similar data support resources for the same.

A significant subject has been whether the mobile numbers shall be permitted to be listed in these directories. The subject has as well come up before the US congress and there have been exclusion placed on including the mobile numbers on the directories of the public utilities. Despite this, the cell phone reverse look ups are obtainable since these have been compiled from the dissimilar sources by the private networks.

The telephone numbers scheduled in the free reverse phone look up service are the ones which the phone users have opt to be listed in directories for public ease of access. The users can for all time opt not to be incorporated in these directories after paying a nominal charge for the same. Consequently, this is a limitation of these services other than since extremely few people decide not to be included; the directories are mainly complete records.

The free reverse phone lookup service has as well been a subject of criticism from various consumer and person rights organizations. These online directories guarantee whole confidentiality and anonymity of the people using their services. Though, these guarantees are subject to sure conditions.

These conditions are connected to, amid extra things, the protection of their rights and necessities of judicial proceedings, orders and events. It is for all time improved for the users to check for the legal disclaimers of these sites to recognize under what conditions or conditions; these sites can relax the discretion norms. If you sense it is significant to trace any number, then the greatest course to adopt is that of using the services of public utilities and from side to side correct permissible channels.

If you happen to be rocking to the AVG Virus Scanner on a Windows Phone 7 smartphone, might you be a little bit more cautious as we bring you word that the AVG Virus Scanner for Microsoft’s mobile platform has been pulled. The reason behind that? Privacy invasion. It seems as though AVG decided that users aren’t that savvy enough at the moment, hence injecting some spyware into their software package which ironically, claims it protects users from spyware and other forms of malicious software. How did this devious it of programming come into the light? Read on after the jump to find out more.

Former Microsoft Employee @JustinAngel decided he had some spare time on his hands, and went ahead to tinker around with the AVG application only to stumble upon the can of digital worms . Simply put, JustinAngel realized that the AVG code contained instructions to collect user coordinates, e-email addresses, device information, mobile carrier, and OS version among others, sending all of this information back to AVG.

This kind of news is not going to do Windows Phone any good, as it certainly brings Microsoft’s certification process into question. Hopefully something like this does not occur in the future, or the proper preventive steps and measures can be taken.

But it is quite surprising to note that the general awareness of reverse phone lookup amongst the non-business community is pretty low and even if some person is indeed aware of this service, they feel that it is something that only top corporate houses need and reverse phone lookup services are not useful for the general public.

If you are one of those people as well who believe that you do not need such a service, well first let me start by telling you that pretty much everyone needs to use reverse phone lookup sometime or the other. While there are many uses for such a service, I have listed the most common reasons why you may need to make use of websites that offer reverse phone lookup services:

To check phone billing accuracy:
How many times have you looked at your phone bill and wondered whether you had indeed made so many calls as the bill reflects. I am sure many of you have looked at an itemized phone bill and said to yourselves, wow – I don’t remember calling these numbers. Who are these people and have I really called them?

If you have ever been in such a scenario, then enter reverse phone lookup services. These services allow you to enter a phone number whether it is a landline number or a cell phone number and check who the number belongs to. You can get the full name and address of the person or company who owns the number and that way you can verify if you or any member of the family has indeed made calls to that number.

To get directions or an address:
Many times we have the number of a person or a place we need to visit – maybe the doctor or a car mechanic but we don’t have an exact address. You can try calling the place where you are going to get the full address but just in case you cannot get through to anyone due to whatever reason, you can just simply use a reverse phone lookup service, enter the number and get the exact and complete address of the person or company you want to visit.

To eliminate unwanted calls or avoid sales calls:
One of the most frustrating things in the entire world is to find a bunch of missed calls on your mobile or caller id and then calling the numbers back, only to get an irritating sales person on the other side. How you wish you never called back the person.

Not just that but sometimes you may be trying to avoid a particular person – either a relative or person from some company and even though you were lucky enough to miss their call, you end up calling them right back and enter a situation you wanted to avoid in the first place.

In all such cases a reverse phone lookup or a reverse cell phone lookup service would come in really handy as that way you can find out exactly who called and decide whether to call back or not.
