Understanding Government Cell Phones

By Tiffany Anderson


When your financial capabilities are not so high, there is a lot that you are locked away from. Because of the little money that comes your way, you are not able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Rather, you first concentrate on the basic necessities like food, clothing and shelter. This might leave very little for your other needs, and you may find yourself locked away from affording a cell phone, with a good plan to cover for your connectivity needs. But when you are struggling like this, the government can help by providing a means of communication for you. At least this way, you have one less thing to worry about.

A free phone is something almost everybody would gladly enroll for, but that is not how it works. Clearly, this would put an unbearable weight on the government, and that is why there are qualifications that need to be met for someone to be confirmed as eligible. These qualifications have to do with ones income standing, or their dependency on aid programs such as Medicaid, Food Stamps, and SSI among others. The application hardly takes time, and as soon as you are approved, a phone is sent to your door step. You need to divulge a valid mailing address that is yours. You cannot use your post office box as that is usually turned down.

Government cell phones are not availed with jaw-dropping features. This is absolutely important is it keeps their prices down for the government. If the phones were expensive to obtain, it would be more expensive to avail them to the needy households. But if they are cheap to obtain, they can be gotten in abundance. And in this equation, its the applicants that benefit the more. Its human to want a phone with high-end features, but unfortunately, you cannot look up to the government to provide in this case.

Government cell phones are free, and everything about them is free, including the minutes you get to stay connected. Dont expect a monthly bill, as it will not show up. The free minutes are loaded in every month, with a roll over option being available. Should you want more minutes than what the government offers, you can purchase more to cater to your communication needs.

There are some rules associated with government phones. The most important one is that of canceling your application ones your financial standing changes. This is often pointed out during the annual verification procedure. The phone remains in your possession, and you can use it in any way you see fit.
