[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 598223, member: 1514"] I agree with Sharon. CB, do you get any sort of food stamps or reduced priced lunches for the kids? Even didnt you say this apartment is sliding scale? I think you qualify for what people refer to as the "Obama Phones" but he really wasnt the one to start the program but no one really heard about it until he came into office. Its a program where people who are considered lower income can get a pretty basic cell phone for free. Here they are called Safelink or Assurance. Now what is interesting is that Safelink is run through the tracphone system and you can buy extra minutes for it. Assurance wireless is run through either Sprint or Tmobile and you can actually either buy a few extra minutes for $5 or for $30 get unlimited everything. Insert evil laugh here....Buck is qualified for either one of these but you cant get both. He had no idea which one was the best one so I picked the Safelink phone for him so he would not be able to get unlimited minutes....hehehe. He cant change for at least a year so even if someone tells him the other would be better he is stuck for awhile. Like I told Tony, he needs to learn how to budget. I didnt even tell either of them he could buy extra minutes because right now he has no money to buy anything. [/QUOTE]
