Connected. California’s poorest residents – including the homeless – could soon be eligible for free cell phone service. The phones would be handed out through a federally funded Lifeline program that’s already in place in 36 other states. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the California Public Utilities Commission is expected to approve the program before the end of the year. The Lifeline program was established to ensure that low-income people have access to phone service, but it’s only recently been expanded to include mobile devices. Under the plan, people who qualify would get 250 minutes of talk time and 250 free texts per month. San Francisco Chronicle
