my ex had one and he left it here. I have to give it back to him even though he doesn't use and doesn't care about it but i love that phone. It's a little cheap phone but stays charged a good while. I never talk about too much dicey # over the phone anyway... mostly gabbing with my mother. hell, it's free minute although he only gets 125.

I have to give it back and this makes me sad but even though he is fully aware i have it and doesn't care about it at all and is entitled to it by his ssi and isn't going to use it... he is supposed to have it. I don't even know if he can press the buttons on that phone. It gets good signal too and I always thought that was strange. It NEVER has a bad signal. That weird. The Verizon prepaid i had...pfftt. My exes att phone his mother got him....pffft. The free phone works all over the place around here. That doesn't even make sense. I should be getting good Verizon signals... but may it's not so much the tower issue as it is the phones receiving capabilities. Verizon wants you to buy a more expensive phone. Why would you purposefully make a crappy phone?

omg I hope that is my imagination. People are so screwed up.

prepaid is going for like a dollar for a four minute phone conversation. prepaid used to be ok and now it just sucks. what the hell. I aint scared of no free phone. It's not like i work for interpol.

See... when you've got as 'cell' phone it doesn't take them long to work out who you are. A telemarketer, wrong number...government issued even. As long as that phone is on your person, they'll know where to find you if they need to.

Spearhead my fellow Aussie... I always respect your opinion on the board - but I must ask if that was sarcasm in your last post? Honestly... it was boulder-dash! I can't fathom why the movements of a person of literally 'no consequence' to the status-quo, or to the grand scheme of things would be remotely interesting to a government agency. If they were handing out free cells to suspected terrorist cells and political dissidents, that argument may have some merit... But that's not who we are discussing here. We are discussing people who are having a bad run in life that would benefit greatly from a leg-up. The measure of a nation is not in is military might but in the compassion for those in need of help & charity.

Haha a Shill? Where my friend do you think uprisings come from?
Government Workers? Fat Cat Bankers? The Rich? Yes, but mostly
from the dis-illusioned poor whom the above mentioned won't let
climb the societal ladder. Having a government funded mind control
device in their pockets would go a long way by saying "everything is ok",
"no need to riot", "being poor isn't so bad see at least you have a cell phone".
etc,. Compassion and charity yes, mind control.......NO!

I just thought I would share a personal story with you all.

I live just over and hours commute from Melbourne (Australia) where I used to work. Upon leaving the train station one day, I had a group of rather large Aboriginal gentlemen approach me. I kept thinking to myself.. please don't let it be me that they wish to harass for money. I wear a tie and am generally a well presented person. An obvious target. It turned out that it was me. I could smell the distinct odour of alcohol on the gentlemen's breath that started to talk to me. "Mate, can you spare a few dollars for a train ticket home" he said. I knew that the money he required was obviously for alcohol... it's a normal ruse on the streets.

I told him that I didn't have money for his train fare but i was more than willing to buy him some lunch as he seemed rather malnourished. I took him to the Hari Krishna restaurant near my work and sat down and had lunch with him. He opened up about all his troubles and the problems he had faced just trying to live a normal life under the white man's system and so forth. We really struck a bond and so I told him that i would pass by that way each Wednesday and we could do lunch again.

This went on for a few months and I took him to various places to try cuisine he would have never had the opportunity to try. All healthy food... and each time, I got him a doggy bag to take with him for later. I could afford it! He went from calling me mate, to Troy, and later to Troy, my brother.

Unfortunately, my work circumstances changed and I was made redundant in my job with two weeks notice. I met him on a Wednesday lunch as I normally did and told him what had happened and that it was likely I would not find employment with Melbourne City. One the last week, we had lunch and after lunch was finished and i was heading back to work, he grabbed me, hugged me and started to cry. He thanked me for not looking the other way and for being such a positive force in his life. He told me that he would never forget my generosity and for helping him in the way that I did. He said 'most people just flick me a $2 coin in the hope that I will simply go away and seeing that disgust in people just helped me spiral further into despair'.

The whole experience made me a better person. Previously, i was one of those smart-asses that flipped coins. Now I know better and i understand the benefits of charity and how much change a little bit of care and empathy can make to ones life.

Anyway, I shall not ramble any further. Just ask yourselves. Are you one of those people?

oh are we talking about catching signals from the cell phone itself... like thought implantation. I can't lie... i didn't read the whole...jeez, so many long ass threads= so little time.

Either you don't understand how mind control works, are already being
controlled or you just might be a shill. All government's want to know who
the poor are, where they are and what they are up too. It is one of big brothers
building blocks so to say. Can't have angry poor people who are "of literally
'no consequence' to the status-quo, or to the grand scheme of things"
running around toppling governments and big business now can we.
