I have been researching Safelink for about a month now and I have found some great info on it. If one qualifies for the program (easy application btw), you receive a free motorola cell phone and 60 minutes of talk time a month, with the ability to add minutes as needed. It is supported by Tracfone (the parent company) who I believe has access to the Verizon networks as well (in terms of reception and what not. Please do not quote me, it is what I have read). It has been around for over a year and is really gaining exposure now. Slowly but surely, new locations of availability are added and new regions will soon have access to this program.
