Nothing is free. Phone companies and taxes pay to support this program.

Grandma, there is no free lunch.

That is a very old saying that as time goes by seems to get proven more and more.

SafeLink uses income based qualifications, here in Florida (do not know about other service areas). If one is eligible for food stamps, Medicaid, or other welfare type programs, one may be eligible for this program as well. However, there are limitations on how this service can be used and one is advised to read all of the fine print first before signing up for the program.

For those scraping by on food stamps and Medicaid, this could be a valuable service.
