Free Phone Service For Elderly Folks

By Arthur Phillips


In order to support the senior citizens in the country that would only survive on social securities, many foundations have actually decided to provide some of their basic needs for free. This is especially true for the free phone service for elderly folks that many foundations and companies are providing. Here are some of the details of these types of free services.

Now seniors would often need cellphones so that they may call someone in the event that an emergency would happen. Some programs would offer free cellphones for seniors so that they are able to call someone wherever they are. The foundation holding the program will not only provide a phone but also the plan that comes with the phone.

Now in order for one to be able to avail of this program, one has to first apply and qualify. First of all, the foundation would be taking a look at the income level of the senior applicant and will judge whether he needs the free phone or not. Usually applicants have to be within or below a certain income level before he can qualify.

Other than that, other foundations would offer a free home phone service which would mean landline phones. Now this is great for seniors who do not like using cellphones or for those seniors who always stay at home. Of course the foundation will also be taking care of the monthly plan payments and costs so that the senior applicants do not need to worry about how much the plan would cost.

Now other than foundations and organizations, there would also be companies who are doing their part to help the senior citizens. Some companies would be giving senior citizen programs wherein a senior can get free phones at very low monthly plans. One just has to apply for this program and automatically he will be given a free device from the company.

One of the best plans for seniors would be the Jitterbug. This is a very interesting monthly plan that targets the seniors that have low incomes. This monthly plan would also take out some of those extra fees that most plans have like the long distance charges and the cancellation charges.

Last on the list would be a special type of device for those senior citizens who would have a hard time hearing. A lot of foundations would provide this for free because most senior citizens have a hard time hearing so they would need a device that allows them to get past that disability. Basically this device would allow one to speak to people using a screen where in the words of the person he is speaking to would appear so that he does not need to strain his ears.

So as one can see, there are so many types of programs that foundations and companies can provide. Since seniors are not as strong and sharp as they used to be, it is very important to help them in any way possible. This is the aim of the foundations and companies that offer these services.
