The government has been subsidizing phone service for many years. If meet the requirements then your phone bill is paid for by fees that are included on others bills. This service is most commonly known as Life Line. Life Line became enhanced in 2005 to include cell phones. Programs like TracFone's Safelink started handing out phones in 2008. Most users refer to this program has "Obama Phone". The thing to remember is that it was George Bush who made this service an option. It was just that President Obama was the one in office when it became popular.

There are other programs offered by AT&T but they are only discounted cell phones not free. Safelink might be the most widely used program followed by Assurance Wireless. These phones are just basic cell phones. Most of them are easy to use and will serve the purpose that they are provided for.
