Would this be worth are while lobbying for, here in Ontario, for some Ontario Works (OW) and Ontario Disability Support Program Recipients?

If you need additional Minutes, you can buy TracFone Airtime Cards at any TracFone retailer Walmart, Walgreens, Family Dollar, etc). SafeLink Airtime Cards will be available soon.
Your exact benefits, including the number of free Minutes you will receive, depend on the state you live in.

I think this would be a very helpful program for the misfortunate.
ODSP and Ontario works currently have'nt any supports for a cell-phone.
I have Spinal Stenosis and was prescribed a cell-phone for safety and I was informed there was'nt any coverage in April 2010.
So yes this is a needed service and worth lobbying for.
