SWing'R Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 It's for emergencies. You know' date=' like if someone is offering you a job and you can't get out of there fast enough. Situations like that.[/quote']I guess. Well the phone is free anyway, and apparently you can by minutes for it too. But if you could afford to buy minutes for it you could probably afford $35/mo for a regular cell phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly Street Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 This is not a subsidy for the phone company at the taxpayers expense. Nor is it "Big Brother" tracking "income eligible" citizens.yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shittygsxr Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Here is how it is fundedWho Pays for the Lifeline and Link-Up Programs?All telecommunications service providers and certain other providers of telecommunications must contribute to the federal USF based on a percentage of their interstate and international end-user telecommunications revenues. These companies include wireline phone companies, wireless phone companies, paging service companies, and certain Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers.Some consumers may notice a “Universal Service” line item on their telephone bills. This line item appears when a company chooses to recover its USF contributions directly from its customers by billing them this charge. The FCC does not require this charge to be passed on to customers. Each company makes a business decision about whether and how to assess charges to recover its Universal Service costs. These charges usually appear as a percentage of the consumer’s phone bill. Companies that choose to collect Universal Service fees from their customers cannot collect an amount that exceeds their contribution to the USF. They also cannot collect any fees from a Lifeline program participant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
