Free cell phone with 250 free minutes
I've heard a commercial on WDVE in Pittsburgh several times now stating that everyone can receive a free government paid cell phone for emergency texts and call up to 250 minutes. Is this being advertised around the country? If you live in another area I'm curious if you've heard this advertisement. I'm not talking about the welfare cell phones the add says it is for anyone.

Plus we get to pay for it with tax money.

Just another paragraph in the story of our enslavement.

yes in TN. It is for anyone on public services such as food stamps, welfare and so on. It is a govt aid thing I guess from what I can tell.

No the add is now saying that this cell phone is free to anyone in case of an accident or emergency and specifically states that is paid for by the government. I'm just curious if it is a nation wide add of recent that's all.

I agree that if they are branching off and giving these to anyone who wants one, regardless of need, there is some intelligence agenda at work here.

No, it DOES NOT come with 250 minutes, but only 60.

The requirements to qualify are VERY strict!

Ok just to be clear. All I'm asking is if anyone has heard a recent advertisement on radio or TV that says they can get a free government paid phone with 250 free minutes in case of an emergency. I'm just looking for geographics at this time

Re: Free cell phone with 250 free minutes
It's a national program. I know several ppl who have them. They just added the 250 minutes option. I saw it on an application from Job and Family Services packet. Not sure what the qualifications are for that many minutes. Pretty much, if you get any kind of gov't assistance, you qualify for a free 60 minute phone.

Of course we work for a living and fork out $170.00 for our family cell phone plan. And yes, part of the tax we pay on the bill every month goes directly to finance the Obama Phones. (LOL...that's what we call the Safe Link Program) So all you working ppl...keep paying that bill every month so more ppl can have free phones!!!

Couple of things here. It's a tracfone (company owned by carlos slim=mexico). It's paid via cell phone "federal service fund" fees; so yes it's a tax but not through income tax. I don't agree with the program at all but I doubt they'll "track, trace, and database" just these phones because they're doing that with EVERY CELL PHONE.

Careful, there is nothing free in this world. There is a price and if they are hiding it then I would be very wary. You want full disclosure on who is paying for it and for what reasons.
