Hey Another Step Toward Socialism, yea, i guess them adding a dollar to your cell phone bill, through the universal service fee, so people who are worse off than you can have access to a phone is truly a step towards socialism. You sir, are pathetic, and uninformed.

I’m not a senior and I don’t have a lifeline plan. I have a unlimited cell phone that I pay for. I say all of that to say this. 1st off the lifeline plan is not pay for by the government. It is pay for by the telephone companies. They way of giving back I guest. And it is a shame for people to look down or call helping other people socialism. Since when did helping someone become a bad thing. To top it off we are talking about seniors who probable worked they whole life and now are retired. Its a shame how this country treat they seniors. In other country seniors are cared for and respected. Here they toss out like yesterday trash. Shame on us.

Suffering from severe fibromyalgia dn myofascial pai, as well as increasing central nervous system issues, this sounds like a great program. I am just wondering if I qualify, as my disability claim is in process and not yet approved. Does anyone know the rule on this?

ANY cellphone that is charged (activated or not) can dial 911. I gave my 84 y.o. Dad one of my old phones w/ a car charger that he keeps in the glovebox. This phone has no phone #, is not on any plan, but is able to dial 911.

Hey, Mr. Wright, we are a low income family who has use of the internet. My kids go to school over the intrenet through OCA, so not having it is not an option. By the way, Safelink saved my sons Life when we were out of the house and away from the house phone and he went into such a bad asthma attack he turned blue, I used my Phone to call 911. He’s only 6 years old.
