SafeLink Wireless - free cellphone service for welfare recipients

I'm a bit behind the times.  I thought you had to get a job to earn money so that you could pay for fun toys like cell phones.  Now, everybody is entitled to a cell phone.  Make mine an iPhone and throw in a free data plan, too.  (I'm joking, I think...)

Lifeline Assistance is part of a program that was created by the government to provide discounted or free telephone service to income-eligible consumers. To help bring you this important benefit, SafeLink Wireless is proud to offer Lifeline Service. Through our Lifeline Service you will receive FREE cellular service, a FREE cell phone, and FREE Minutes every month! SafeLink Wireless Service does not cost anything – there are no contracts, no recurring fees and no monthly charges.

Any Minutes you do not use will roll-over. Features such as caller ID, call waiting and voicemail are all also included with your service. If you need additional Minutes, you can buy TracFone Airtime Cards at any TracFone retailer Walmart, Walgreens, Family Dollar, etc). SafeLink Airtime Cards will be available soon.

Ah! No no no no no ... although this plan is a great deal, it is NOT a government sponsored or created plan. It is not an "Obama Plan" as many people think it is. In fact, the plan started way before Obama was elected. Check out the facts for yourself... http://www.factcheck.org/2009/10/the-obama-phone/
