I searched for a forum for ten minutes and I chose this one, being that it is a social issue. This is not a rant. I would like to inform the ATS community on a terrible waste of the tax payer’s money. I did not do a search because this is my own personal experience with this program.
SafeLink phones are not paid for by taxpayers or the federal government. TracFone Wireless pays for the phones and also the cost of promoting its SafeLink program to make sure that eligible consumers know about the program.

Bingo! And the more people that get that attitude and stop working, the happier Obama will be, because it is buying him votes for the next election.
The entitlement generation that not only wants, but DEMANDS hand outs like this, was a large portion of how he got elected to begin with.

I don't know how anyone can actually pay their taxes when they see where it goes.

Your right. I guess these must be smart phones, Iphones even, because dumb phones don't cut it anymore. I hope they got their government subsidized computers to sync them with, that way they don't miss out on the latest mp3s.

another angle not considered yet.
The Gov accepting third party vendors
to spam your phone with text advertisements.
Now, instead of that spam fax machine running
out of paper, they go directly to ALL free phones.
They could make a killing on advertising products
and services. Mass spam delivered right to your
phone. What company would pass up an opportunity
to send out it's ad to Millions of potential customers
in one fell swoop ??? And you couldn't complain,
the phone is owned by them

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.

You can always change you're plans to 250 mins. plans. The only difference is 125 mins. plan rolls over and 250 mins. does not roll over. So if you don't make huge amount of calls then 125 plan is for you coz you can accumulate large number of mins. from you're saved mins. If you use 250 mins plan they will get expired every months and you will receive fresh 250 mins.
