Cell Phone – Fast and Easy Mode of Communication

From many years, cell phones have occupied an important place in every one’s life. It’s hard to imagine surviving a single day without them. They have become a basic necessity of life like food, clothes, and water. If you are trapped in an difficult situation, having a cell phone could possibly protect you from becoming the victim of that situation. Cell phones are not only treated as the mode of entertainment, but are also a key device for keeping yourself and your family safe.

Due to advancement in technology, today’s cell phones possess all-important features like chatting with your friends through emailing, voice calls, and social messages. Moreover, if you have configured internet in your cell phone, it works like a mini computer. However, for low income families and the people who have financial distress, a cell phone could be viewed as a luxury that they cannot afford.

Understanding the need of communication for all people regardless of their financial situations, the government introduced an assistance program that will provide financial help for cell phone service. Under this plan, the qualifying candidates would get free government assistance cell phone service. That is, they would get a subsidy that could provide from 68-250 free minutes every month. Moreover, people can buy additional minutes at a reduced rate if needed. There is also the feature to send and receive text messages and get voicemails. No bills, deposits or any kinds of hidden costs are involved under this plan.

If you are participating in any of the government assisted programs like 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), National School Lunch Program (NSLP), Household Income Based on Federal Poverty Guidelines etc., then you meet the criteria to apply for the free cell phone plan. Only Oklahoma residents are charged $1 per month plus taxes and fees for the 1000 minute plan.
