According to the website, SafeLink Wireless is a government supported program that provides a free cell phone and airtime each month for income-eligible customers."
How to Qualify "The process to qualify for Lifeline Service depends on the State you live in. In general, you may qualify if...
You already participate in other 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 Lifeline Service through another phone carrier. You have a valid United States Postal Address. In order for us to ship you 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."
And here I have been working my butt off to pay for things like the phone bill. I swear, I am starting to wonder why I bother. *sigh* Clearly, not working at all is way more profitable.
this has been debunked and removed by the mod many times since it is not news but solicitation
Poor people were constantly signing up for phone plans and not paying the bill. They were causing an explosion in the number of phone numbers taken out of circulation. This is an attempt to get them into a “ghetto plan” like Tracfone (which I have) where you have to “pay to play”.
Will it work? Shiite. They’ll just sign up for another plan so they can get “free” unlimited minutes.
Where in the constitution does it give the federal govt. the right to take my money to pay for others offspring, cell phones, abortions, etc?
Time to band together and storm the gates of congress,
Get a torch, let’s burn it down with them all in it.
“Clearly, not working at all is way more profitable.”
That would appear to be the end game...the majority of the country beholden to the government for all of its’ needs....
I'm not sure I follow you. The website appears to be legit and they do have commercials on TV fairly often.
Has it? What’s the deal with the company? I did a search and quoted directly from their website, but couldn’t find more. Can you assist?
It’s an ad it’s not news
I listed it under general chat. Is any part of the information untrue?
Thank you for that information.
I didn’t view this as an ad, but rather quoting this deal for our review and comment. Our tax dollars at work...that sort of thing.
Correct.
Free health care, free dental care, free child care, free college tuition, free government motors autos, free clothes, free cable, free internet service....
I like your tag line.
Thanks. I think I heard it from some guy that called into either Mike Gallagher or Tom Sullivan.....
