Miami-based America Movil subsidiary TracFone Wireless this week announced the launch of its SafeLink Wireless service in Tennessee. SafeLink will serve as the company's distributor of government-supported Lifeline service, providing a free phone and 68 minutes of air time per month to low-income households.
"Over 812,000 households in Tennessee qualify for the Lifeline services, offering these participants the opportunity to have the same access and privileges many individuals take for granted when it comes to using cell phones," says Javier Rosado, SVP of Lifeline Services for TracFone. "The SafeLink Wireless service is truly unique because we are providing a service that no other company has made available before - a free cell phone and free monthly minutes to qualifying low income families."
"As a mobile virtual network operator, TracFone uses AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Alltel, US Cellular and Claro's networks," notes BetaNews' Tim Conneally.

I would like to be considered for a free phone with your company under the low/no income program in lieu of the fact that I only recieve foodstamps, and have received them for the past 5/6 years. I am pending my SSI benefits, and my VA Benefits, and I am on the list for housing in Decatur, Georgia. My address is 322 Fairview Street, Athens, Georgia 30601. I moved to Athens Georgia with my father and step-mother, and both of them are on assistance. My father has had several strokes, he's treated also for high blood pressure, diabetes,infuzema, and was recently rush to the emergency, and they diagnosed COPD, they say 3 of his arteries have blockages 1-50, 2-40- and 3-80%. He has dialysis 3 days a week (Mon, Wed, & Fri), he needs a kidney transplant now. I can't donate my kidney as I also have medical conditions that I have been diagnosed for. High blood pressure, diabetes (insulin), high chlesterol, chronic/severe bronchitis,asthma, and allergies. I'm also treated for low potassium, low calcium, and low iron. I have arthiritis in both my knees, a sciatic nerve in my right hip, and some nerve damage in my neck and shoulders. I take over 40 pills in the course of 1 day, everyday! I need a free phone where I will be able to recieve phone calls from different agencies of which I have spoke of previously. I am not sure what you need now, but my mailing address is 322 Fairview Street, Athens, Georgia 30601!

I am left wondering what do I get for working ? A twisted spine, torn knee, pinched nerve in my neck and I am now flat footed, my health care is providing care to the welfare now which I thought was good until they told me I have to pay 50% of my bills now(seems they ran out of money) the extra taxes on my company took away our pensions and my soc sec is pushed back to 68.
What do I get for working that I could not get If I quit and just lived off of the gov aid ?
