Sorry, don't buy it. Unless it is a pre-paid, they still want an
address to link to. And where would they be recharging it?

I'm sorry too, that you think this way. *Prepaid can be just fine, why

Actually, if you saw some of the other folks in this free food kitchen,
they're all better dressed than I am. I was kinda wondering if they're not
federal office workers just eating on the cheap. Regarding the cell phone,
apparently there are several government programs that give free cell phones
to certain people who qualify for food stamps. From what I've read, you
don't have to be particularly "poor" to get food stamps these days- Hide quoted text -

Yes, it is always a joy to be in line at the grocery store and watch
the number of people using food stamps for their food then pulling out
a big wad of cash for the cigarettes, beer, and wine. Oh, and don't
forget the Lottery Tickets.
