The phone is a basic TracPhone or equivalent. $10.00 at Walmart when I got one. 250 minutes - maybe about
$20.00 if purchased individually, but should be heavilly discounted for bulk....one figure I read was $10 per month per person.
Companies like this because they can sell fancier phones and additional minutes to recipients on the program for cash.
Am I to gather that 12.5 million Obamaphones, paid for by taxpayers, is an acceptable use of taxpayer funds? Come on!
Until just a few years ago, I did not want a cell phone, I held out forever because I did not want the expense.
Guess I was going to bear that expense whether I was willing or not. This country is teetering!
