The government does give cell phones in Tennessee or did. I'm not sure what the requirements are but I know it happened.

Re: Gov giving freee cell phones!
Looks like it's paid for by the USF. Universal service fund.
Unbelievable.

No idea what USF is. But I think the cell phones was a good idea.

It's the tax we pay on our cellphones bills. It's a terrible shameful ideal.

Scrooge I be then.  We don't need more handouts. all this stuff just breeds a certain mindset in people. I see it all the time where I work.

Now that I can understand. I dislike that mindset too but I don't think the solution is to stop helping people that need help just so we can prevent that mindset.

BTW, the government is not providing the cell phones. Get your facts straight:

SafeLink phones are not paid for by taxpayers or the federal government. TracFone Wireless pays for the phones and also the cost of promoting its SafeLink program to make sure that eligible consumers know about the program.
