Why work at all anymore?

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Why work at all anymore?

Post by CoolBreeze »

Saw an ad on WCHS TV the other day for free cell phones and minutes provided to dead-beats by the taxpayers. I cant figure out why the "DISENFRANCHISED" would need to text message.... :?

REACHOUT WIRELESS™ is a is a government assisted wireless service provided by Nexus Communications, Inc., ("Nexus"). REACHOUT WIRELESS™ offers a discount benefit to low income families and individuals via wireless services in place of older technologies like landline phone service.
To obtain REACHOUT WIRELESS™ service potential subscribers must meet certain eligibility requirements such as receiving governmental assistance or a household income that is at or below the federal poverty level. The specifics of what determines a potential subscriber’s eligibility are specific to each state.


What is Lifeline?

The Lifeline program was established by your local government to help people obtain wireless services by offering a discounted package. This package includes a FREE cellular phone, as well as FREE minutes every month without sacrificing the features you would typically use with any other cell phone such as Caller ID, Texting, and Voicemail. These services DO NOT require a credit check or deposit and there is absolutely no contract is involved. Best of all, there are no recurring charges, monthly fees, or surcharges.

Unlike other cellular companies, your phone will NEVER deactivate and your minutes will NEVER expire as long as you remain active on the ReachOut program.


Qualification standards vary depending on the state in which you reside. Generally, you qualify if you are currently enrolled in a government assisted program such as:

* Food Stamps
* Medicaid
* Federal Public Housing Assistance or Section 8
* Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
* Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
* National School Free Lunch Program
* Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
