Why Missionaries Are Sneaking Cellphones into the MTC

Описание: Why are so many LDS Missionaries risking it all to sneak smartphones into the MTC?
Our latest podcast episode dives into a fascinating, recent event involving our child at the MTC. We discuss how she mentioned that everyone in her district had managed to bring a mobile phone with them, sparking a lively discussion about policies and expectations. This family friendly conversation explores the challenges parents face and provides some good times as we share our experiences.

In 2025, the Missionary Training Center (MTC) remains one of the most controlled environments for young adults. While the Church has modernized by providing "official" smartphones equipped with Maas360 monitoring software, a secret culture of "contraband" personal phones is exploding.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on why 18-to-20-year-old Mormon missionaries are risking their reputations—and their missions—to keep a secret device in their pocket. We explore the psychological toll of digital isolation and the creative (and sometimes desperate) ways these "unapproved" devices are smuggled past leadership.
