Not sure this is the only free phone even, I believe there are a lot of “free” cell phones out there. Ask a friend who works in a public library, people come in all day long for info on these programs and endless ways to scam the system.
Government Unveils Cell Phone Alert System
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2011/May/Government-Unveils-Cell-Phone-Alert-System/
“While cell phone users may opt out of alerts from local officials, no one will be allowed to opt out of messages from the president.”
Interesting, predictable and a little amusing. You can opt out of all the emergency alerts that .gov says are the reason to have this new system but you’ll not be able to turn off Dear Leader.
Yeh, I said O is not a petty criminal, he’s first class. After all:
“Communication should not be limited to people in relation to what they are able to afford. “
Worst thing about the Obama phone.. you get threads that look like this:

Looks like Obama is flashing gang signs.
awhile ago I kept saying to myself, how do all these kids/people afford cell phones? I finally realized that they are FREE from the universal fee I pay on my bill. Absolutely I could scream and wonder what is going to be done about it? Now there are gangs formed on a minutes notice, free phones everywhere etc. It is outrageous!
Should we just turn off the lights now?
I really wonder if there is anyway back from this brink....
But the free obamaphones are needed to help these victims of society find a decent job and get off of welfare so they can work hard and buy their own phone. /s
This program started during the Bush years according to a caller on Levin’s show the other day.
You have to give the Chicago mob credit.
They understand the MSM is on their side and would never call them out for stuff like this.
Absolutely no reason to hold back in the fight for 2012.
When you are fomenting a Marxist revolution and it’s looking bleak to make the election even look legitimate, Obama Phones will be a useful tool.
We all know how flash mobs use cell phones these days.
Now, put Obama Phones in the hands of ‘his people’, the drones - and imagine what a plea from Dear Leader for a political flash mob might spark when The Won doesn’t win his way.
Raila Odinga, 2006. Perfected for Obama’s use in 2012.
Interesting times indeed.
You can get one from more than one carrier. I know someone that has three phones each for he and his wife. 250 minutes on each phone.

FACT CHECK
http://www.factcheck.org/2009/10/the-obama-phone/
Seems like this program exists but is not quite an Obama Phone.
Unbelievable. Where do they think this USF fee comes from, unicorn farts? The USF 'fee' is a required fee (technically not a tax because Congress didn't authorize it) on all telecommunication services that we all pay for. So yes, taxpayers are footing the bill.
How big was the program during the Bush years? How big has it gotten since Obama came to power? Have the limitations as to who qualifies for them been relaxed significantly?
I don't recall anything called a "BushPhone" during those years nor do I recall a BushPhone.net website.
This was Al Gore's pet. Taxation w/o representation.
He simply announced it, and it was so.
They know that Obama is going down, down BIGTIME. They are getting desperate.
Our government is nothing but the mafia
