Free Mobile Sets for the Older Generation

By Brendon Tison


The US government offers free cellular phones for senior citizens in the country along with service and coverage through the program called Lifeline Assistance. The senior citizens have to be eligible for this program given by Safelink-Wireless which provides both discounted and free cell phone service. There are no hidden costs such as fees, and monthly charges. The senior citizens don't have to sign any contract either. If they don't use up the time within a month, it gets carried over and if they need extra airtime, this can be purchased.

If you are already participating in the Lifeline Assistance program through any other carrier, then you are not eligible for participating again. You can go to the Safe link-Wireless website, enter your zip code and start the process of applying for the free cellular phones for senior citizens. When they ask you for information, you must be ready with your proof of any current government assistance that you are receiving. Your social security number has to be entered too.

Some people are a bit wary of providing such personal details on the website. But this not be a cause for concern, as the site is absolutely safe and this is certified by Equifax. If you still have qualms regarding this security issue, you can get more information regarding it by clicking on the padlock-like symbol that appears at the bottom of the web page.

Those who are not comfortable about presenting their personal data on a website can , as an alternative, apply through the phone just by calling 800/977-3768 and apply for this program. Once you have applied in any of the ways mentioned above, all you have to do is wait for your phone to be delivered at you residential address.

911 cellular phones for senior citizens above the age of fifty five are also given in various state programs. This provides help to the senior citizens, especially in times of an emergency or an accident. These phones are available for the elderly people. They are actually phones that have been donated by others and are offered free to these senior citizens. The cellular phones are reconditioned and serviced before distributing them to the senior citizens.
