Usually the girls don't have their internet set up yet, as it is not free on campus and each student has to pay and set up an account. As far as why the phones are taken away, you would (or maybe you wouldn't) be surprised at the lengths actives will go to to get in touch with PNM's (and vice versa). There have been issues in the past with people doing things like changing an active's name in their cell phone to another name or a male name to hide the fact that they're communicating. In addition, limited phone time prevents girls from being stressed out or influenced by heliparents and friends. Plus, incessant texting and phone calls takes away from the bonding experience that the week provides. In my experience as a former recruitment counselor, when the girls got over the initial shock of not texting constantly it wasn't that big of a deal.
