The world of communications has evolved enough to make cell phones a necessity. Where even a couple of decades back a mobile phone was a luxury, it is now an essential. In order to stay in constant touch with friends and family and also for the work related calls, a mobile phone is a must. Nowadays entire businesses are carried out on the phone. So it is almost a handicap not having a cell phone. In these crime infested times, throughout the day, when out at work, you want to know that your family is safe at all times. You wish to call them several times a day so again a cell phone is of prime importance. But with the recent economic upheaval that the nation has gone through, it is becoming increasingly difficult to afford the cost that a cell phone brings.
Thus the government has now come up with a program that can provide you with a free government cell phone plan, under which the qualifying people would get free government cell phones. Under this free cellular phone service, they get a government free cell phone and 68-250 free minutes every month. People can buy additional minutes at a reduced rate if required. There is also the facility to send and receive text messages and get voicemails. There are no bills, deposits or any kind of hidden costs involved.
This free government assisted cell phone service is available in all states, but different states have different qualifying criteria. For the states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Kansas, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, Iowa, Rhode Island, Washington, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, if you are participating in any of the government assisted programs like0.0 Medicaid, Food Stamps, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Federal Public Housing Assistance (Section 8), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), or National School Lunch Program (NSLP), etc., then you qualify to apply for the free government cell phone plan.
