Sullivan that shows how owning a cell phone can improve your earning potential and that blue collar workers derive far more benefit than white collar workers and I can understand that when I think about a handy man who is always out working at someone else s house, if he didn't have a cell phone how would he get more work? I am all for a program that will help the poor to find there feet. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jenny Milingtow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 20th 2009 4:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lifeline Program Providing Subsidized Cell Phones for the Poor]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/20/lifeline-program-providing-subsidized-cell-phones-for-the-poor/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/20/lifeline-program-providing-subsidized-cell-phones-for-the-poor/</guid><description><![CDATA[are you kidding me? Cell Phones are not neccesary for those with money, so why should it be neccesry for those without? For the very few people left with a job and actually pays their bills because they don't overspend like a moron....I feel bad for you because you will soon be paying for everything that will become "subsidized"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jsams4131]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 21st 2009 3:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lifeline Program Providing Subsidized Cell Phones for the Poor]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/20/lifeline-program-providing-subsidized-cell-phones-for-the-poor/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/20/lifeline-program-providing-subsidized-cell-phones-for-the-poor/</guid><description><![CDATA[As someone who was homeless, I can tell you that it is so difficult to find a phone to use especially for incoming calls. I managed to get a pager with voicemail service so that prospective employers could leave me messages, but that isn't always an option. Not everyone is responsible enough to handle having a cell phone, but that should be determined on a case by case basis. This program could really benefit those who are honestly trying to do better or just make it through another day. :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kass]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 5th 2010 12:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lifeline Program Providing Subsidized Cell Phones for the Poor]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/20/lifeline-program-providing-subsidized-cell-phones-for-the-poor/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/20/lifeline-program-providing-subsidized-cell-phones-for-the-poor/</guid><description><![CDATA[I also heard that Virgin Mobile, one of the hippest cell providers around is even getting into this mix! I can't believe they'd get themselves associated with this low-level program. Yeah! sorry for the poor, but VIRGIN MOBILE! I've been w/ them for a long time but am starting to rethink just how hip they are. Might as well go with another prepaid provider or even AT&T and get myself an Iphone!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Virginfan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 20th 2009 9:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lifeline Program Providing Subsidized Cell Phones for the Poor]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/20/lifeline-program-providing-subsidized-cell-phones-for-the-poor/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/20/lifeline-program-providing-subsidized-cell-phones-for-the-poor/</guid><description><![CDATA[I feel so sad for you that you would stop using a cell phone company because they are participating in this program. Everything in America is based on money. Do you actually think their running this program to benefit people with low income or put more money in their pockets? Always remember on any given sunday you could loose everything you have and be apart of the low income community. God giveth and he taketh away. Open your mind and heart I know your more beautiful than that comment on the inside.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[keishmak]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 14th 2009 7:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lifeline Program Providing Subsidized Cell Phones for the Poor]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/20/lifeline-program-providing-subsidized-cell-phones-for-the-poor/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/20/lifeline-program-providing-subsidized-cell-phones-for-the-poor/</guid><description><![CDATA[@(Unverified)  First off just because Virgin Mobile is getting into the loop doesn't mean you have to drop them. Obviously you are just making up excuses to drop their service for your unhappiness with them. It also seems like you think you are better than a poor person but think again before you judge because one day you might be that poor person. Also these companies are not only doing it for poor people but people who are barely making it for example the elderly and single parents trying to raise their family the best they can. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[De]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 14th 2010 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lifeline Program Providing Subsidized Cell Phones for the Poor]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/20/lifeline-program-providing-subsidized-cell-phones-for-the-poor/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/20/lifeline-program-providing-subsidized-cell-phones-for-the-poor/</guid><description><![CDATA[you need jesus.
