Why do homeless people have cell phones?

Many homeless people work or have a source of income. Prepaid cell phones are extremely cheap – $20-$30 and a person is usually eligible to receive a free phone from SafeLink Wireless (www.safelinkwireless.com) if they receive TANF, Medicaid, or Food Stamps from the state. Having a cell phone is actually a life line for homeless people. They can contact potential employers, schedule medical and/or legal appointments, call organizations in search of help, keep in touch with family, and call for help when needed.
