not even a little bit. I have no idea who you are and could care less what kind of phone you have. I was addressing another member, and trying to do so respectfully.
as for the purchase price, duly noted. I have never attempted to purchase an older, outdated device; they may well be available for .99. the cost for service would still appear to be out of range for someone on public assistance.
and I'll ask, since someone undoubtedly will, to your second post, what rationale are you using when asking for assistance again when you make "pretty good money"?
the post about the phone there was no disrespect at all intended wasnt even calling you out but if your a new client you usually get a pretty nice discount on a new phone but I have yet to come out of pocket over maybe 250-300 and I have the latest phone out 800 is crazy thats all I was trying to say. I do make good money infact my wages are publicly known you can find them on the BOP web site which to me is unfair and an invasion of privacy but back to the post yes I applied because again I have a lot of bills to pay and I am the only one in the home working and supporting my family which a lot of people that are on the assistance do not do all I was saying is the assistance should be equally weighed not by your annual or monthly income but by your current situation and work history. If you have someone that has been on assistance for 1yr because they were laid off thats cool but someone who has been on it more that 2yr and hasnt had a job your pushing it because I know for a fact that there are job openings at fast food restraunts or walmarts around the U.S. so I cant find a job is just a lazy mans excuse. Give the assistance to a man who is going through hard times either just being let go and trying to find another job or to someone who is the only provider and actually needs the help.

and yes the monthly bill is expensive I think I pay maybe 195.00 but that is with the price of my Ipad added on to the bill as well

To this post I personally went to try to get government assistance I work for the Feds and I make a pretty good amount of money but I was denied. They said I made to much money. Now I am all for making too much money but when you have people in there with Iphone's NEW not out dated ones and 17 kids (the only reason they have that many is for more money) and a brand new vehicle better than mine outside I think they are over qualified for the assistance of the government. In fact it makes me downright mad that being a father of two supporting my children and wife (that is currently in college) and all the bills fall in my lap granted I make good money but I also have a good amount of bills and the assistance wouldn’t have me living paycheck to paycheck. That being said I think that the people who need help need to get a job first then get help from the government and there should be a rule that you only get assistance if you currently work

lordie, I was thinking about what you said initially, that iphones aren't expensive.. not looking for an argument (at all) and I don't mean to put you on the spot
but iphones are expensive. not just the phones but the plans you need to carry. we paid a few hundred dollars each (for three phones) and pay over $150.00 a month for unlimited service. the initial bill/payment was near a thousand dollars, maybe eight hundred. we used upgrades..
so from that perspective, maybe they feel that if someone can afford an iphone, they can afford to assume that much financial responsibility for themselves.
You got bent because I have at&t which in my opinion is the most expensive out of all and my wife walked out with an older Iphone for only 99 cents granted it was just an Iphone 4s but still an Iphone so you can go cheap

I understand the system design but its not helping the truely needy its assisting the lazy so what I was trying to say if its the lazy that are getting the assistance then I think everybody should because I am paying their bills when they are just sitting on their butts not trying to help their selfs.
