Anyone heard of this! Very interesting.

You qualify if under $26G year, ill or disabled, retired.

I have seen commercials for it since I get a lot of Massachusetts channels. But it's not in NH yet.

I don't know if they do it in my area. I see the commercials all the time (I have one of those big honkin' antennas on my house. Free tv rocks!)... but at the bottom it says it's for TN residents only. *shrug* It would rock if we qualified, though.

Although... I could only use it in town. Where I live... there's no cable, no high speed internet, and cell phones don't work. Ha. I like it there, though... for now.

EarthyFreeSpirit · 07-03-2009, 05:18 PM

They actually *just* got this in NH. I'm gonna apply

I really want to know if I qualify for this program. I recently had my hours reduced to part time from full time, so I am not sure if I qualify, since I am not a full time employee, but I don’t know why it wouldn’t. Oh well, just got to check it out. I really only need the phone for emergencies and for checking up on my elderly parents. When things get better, I can always get off the government sponsored plan and just buy minutes for the phone. I really hope I qualify. A cell phone is pretty much becoming a necessity now a days.

You automatically qualify if you get Medicaid, FS or LIHEAP. You don't even have to send in verification if you are on them, they just do random checks to make sure people aren't getting it without qualfying. It was so easy to get! And now they've increased my minutes to 68/month.
