Very basic phone service is not a new thing for the poor. Those programs have been available with land line phones for years.

I'll let y'all in on a secret.

Voice on cellular phones for each and every person in the United States is given to you at a loss by your carrier.

All money made in cellular now is made from data.

Land lines are going buh bye, and as such, poor people who enjoyed free home phones for emergency needs and job interviews will be getting free cell phones. They'll be old phones that are sitting gathering dust, on a network that is already built, and using something thats already given to every customer in the United States today, free voice.

Cellular voice is, take it from an insider. It takes up about 1% of the data coming from the new sites built, even when busy. All of the pipe, all of the cost, all is for data.
