A couple of free tools that can be used for online polling include http://www.polleverywhere.com/ and http://doodle.com/?locale=en. Poll Everywhere can create polls that can be answered by text or on the web, with the free service allowing for 40 responses to a poll. Doodle allows respondents to select dates/times that work best for their schedule.
These types of tools could be used for scheduling events such as proctored exams or synchronous sessions, or could take the place of clickers to do class polling. If students have their phones in their hand every minute, why not put it to use?
