There's the "can't beat em, join em" approach? How about building a nice Droid smart phone just for the trip [say from Virgin Mobile with a quick root] and adding the Google Play Store blacklisted tools Network Spoofer<http://www.xda-developers.com/android/mess-with-your-friends-with-network-spoofer/>, Android Network Toolkit<http://blogs.computerworld.com/18755/killer_android_app_allows_the_clueless_to_hack_pwn_like_a_pen_tester>. Just for fun add in Wifi toolz <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkAWrKkOVKs> (for later fun).
That will wake you up to just how easy all of this really is. I think you can return the phone in 30 days? Laugh!
