Is the phone a gift or a tracking device?
Likely the later

I'm not so sure that this treasonous bunch in DC care what happens with these people once they release them, as long as they can get a fake ID and vote blue...

free phone!! time to pull out the soap box!

a few years back a certain president let his voters know that if he got elected he would give his people a free phone...
he gots hisself elecked.
it wasn't long before a big canopy/awning/tent came up near the middle of town with big signs "free phones"
i stopped by the local office of my employer and told the manager "come on. let's go get usses a free phone!"
he didn't want to go...
and let me know it was for the presidents voters and not usses..
but he finally agreed to go.
as we walked toward the "carnival" tent, folks started looking. well staring..
we got to the table to obtain our free phone. we had been watching and the process was simple.

then we were told right plainly that these phones were not for us...
and the other prospects all did some whooping with excitement that the two minorities were denied!!

RR- that brings back a memory- my parents were Boomers and were cheap as the day is long. Not "frugal" but CHEAP, as in cutting corners they shouldn't type of cheap. I.e, stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime and ALWAYS screwing the pooch long term for a nickel's worth of gain in the short term (little thought for the future). None of It was for lack of money.

So I bought my Mother a cell phone back in.... geez I guess about 2003 or so? She didn't have one and was running back and forth to Florida babysitting my brother's brats. My Mom was a resourceful gal, but still a gal. So I got the normal fake "oh this is so great" type of BS response from a practical gift. This was in that time period where you had to pay for the phone upfront (which I did) and then of course monthly service. I had paid for a couple months of service. By the end of what I paid for she was doing the "thanks but I'm not really using this" thing. I told her "emergency service of only 30 minutes a month is just $9. a month. I know your cheap and wouldn't continue this, so I checked on it." She smiled, probably thinking damnit the kid thwarted me with common sense again... She did the emergency service thing for probably just a month or so and cancelled it altogether. Still driving all over two states picking up 2 or 3 young children, no gun, no cell phone... just dumb luck.

Flash forward some years, she is older, perceptibly not as strong but driving some distances here and there still. I added a phone to our plan for my family (wife and kids) and had to go as far as telling her that the phone I was giving her was FREE and the service was FREE (cost me $40. a month) in order to know she would at least HAVE a cell phone with her. She usually never turned the damn thing on.... and would turn it off 0.45 seconds after each use (cause evidently the battery goes dead in 3.5 seconds or something?? LOL) , but hey she HAD it.

Years later, she's railing about the Free OBAMAPHONES being given out. A thought crosses my mind, I get that wry smile on my face that only a parent with a sly kid would understand. She stops her rant and asks what? My parents had always called me "Bobby". So I told my Mom she wasn't much different than the folks getting Obamaphones. She looked confused and I told her that she had an OBOBBYPHONE which was also Free with Free service.
