About 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.

Government phones are given out to anyone who is interested, and has satisfied the qualifications set out. These have to do with the income earned, or public aid program participation. Once you get approved, a phone is mailed to you within a period of one week. Its imperative that you provide a valid mailing address, as you will be on the losing side of you dont. Post office boxes are sadly not accepted.

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 phones are free in every sense of the word. That in other words means that there will be no contracts to sign, no monthly bills, and no fees to expect. You simply get a phone with preloaded minutes, and enjoy being connected to your close acquaintances. You dont get a lot of minutes though, since most of the time you get two hours of talk time per month, give or take. This suggests that only important calls should be made.

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.
