TracFone Wireless provides free phones

TracFone Wireless has launched a government-supported program to provide free mobile telephone service to low income households throughout Pennsylvania. Individuals qualifying for TracFone’s SafeLink Wireless service will receive a free cell phone, emergency mobile access and 68 minutes of air time monthly for one year. The service is currently being tested in Philadelphia and Delaware counties.

I love the idea of a wireless company providing free service to low-income families. There is a dire need for this in every major city and TracFone is playing their part. Many people can't afford a cell phone or a home phone for that matter and there are emergency situations where making a phone call could mean the difference between life or death.

I say kudos to TracFone and anyone else playing their part to help keep families safe no matter where they live or how much they make.
