SafeLink Wireless - Free Cell Phones
Do you or a loved one have a medical condition that may require immediate medical assistance but don't possess a phone? There may be a solution for you.
SafeLink Wireless is a government supported program that provides a free cell phone and airtime each month to income eligible customers.
To Qualify:
The process to qualify depends on the State you live in. In general, you may qualify if...You already participate in another State or Federal assistance program such as Federal Public Housing Assistance, Food Stamps, and Medicaid. Or your total household income is at or below 135% of the poverty guidelines set by your State and/or the Federal Government. And no one in your household currently receives service from another phone carrier. And you have a valid United States Postal Address. In order to receive your free phone you must live at a residence that can receive mail from the US Post Office. Sorry, but P.O. Boxes cannot be accepted. In addition to meeting the guidelines above you will also be required to provide proof of your participation in an assistance program, or proof of your income level.
You can enroll online at www.safelink.com . To apply you will need your address and social security number. If you exceed the free airtime (68 minutes in Florida), you can purchase additional minutes.

I think that this Safelink program is really good and I'm glad to contribute towards it on my phone bill. I worry about my gran 82 who is still relatively independent and goes shopping and walking in the garden but if she falls she can't get up so I'm much happier knowing that she has a cell phone with her all the time.
