Earn Money! How to get a job handing out free cell phones

You can earn up to $1000 per week handing out free government cell phones. But do it the right way.

Yes, you too can be a high-earning free government cell phone sales rep. Companies like Safelink Wireless, Assurance Wireless, enTouch Wireless, StandUp Wireless, and dozens of others need employees to help them enroll new Lifeline customers.

Most positions simply involve enrolling people into the Lifeline program by working at sidewalk tents outside government assistance offices, shelters, churches, flea markets, community centers and other high traffic areas around your town. Often no experience at all is required.

We can’t promise how much you will make, but if you’re successful, you might make $500 to $1,000 per week, based on commissions of between $5 to $10 per customer you enroll. Considering that customer enrollment takes just minutes, those five and ten dollar bills can add up in no time.

Where NOT to find Lifeline jobs

Before we get into how to find these good jobs, please allow us to briefly detour into what is, perhaps, an even more important subject: Where not to find these jobs.

Do not look for a Lifeline job on Craig’s List. Do not look for a Lifeline job at a street tent that purports to represent a Lifeline company. Do not accept a job from an anonymous canvasser who knocks on your door and asks if you’re looking for work.

Why? Because it’s just so damn difficult to tell the legitimate jobs from the fraudulent ones. Instead, we now recommend that you go directly to the Lifeline companies to find legitimate, potentially high-paying jobs.

These devious scam artists claim that they represent one of the legitimate Lifeline companies when they really don’t. They rip off needy customer’s who never suspect that they’re enrolling in a scam Lifeline program. They also rip off good people who fall for their employment scams.

Here are some quotes that come straight from our readers about their unfortunate experiences with some of those scam jobs. We could have added others, but these four seemed sufficient:

“I was working for a guy giving out free phones … He gave me about 15 or so phones to give away. After giving them all I was unable to get ahold of him again to get paid and to get more phones. is there a way I can see my account and the number of phones I have given? There has got to be something that keeps track of this info, right?”

“I signed up for a tablet with a guy that was outside of Walmart, he said it would (take) 30 minutes to activate so I went on to shop but when I came back out he was gone and I gave him my kids’ social security numbers and birthdate and I’m trying to see what I can do about this. I don’t won’t my kids information stolen and used for other purposes.”

“I got the job but my ‘boss’ didn’t tell me where I should setup. I have a backpack full of phones and no idea how to get rid of them. I see people in my area doing garage sales. Could I just set up in a parking lot?”

“I would like to report a Man who signing people up for the free Assurance wireless phone he is charging people $40 to active the free phone. He is on Rockaway and Glenwood road in the Carnarsi section in Brooklyn Ny 11236 in front of Capital one Bank.”

Sure, there may be legitimate jobs advertised on Craig’s List, and it’s always possible that the complete stranger who knocks on your door is for real, but there is no way to tell the real jobs from the scam jobs. And we do not want you to get scammed.

So please take our advice: Although there are many good, legitimate jobs available from the companies themselves, there are also crooks out there just waiting to take advantage of honest, hardworking people like you who just want to make a few bucks to support their families.

How to find a job directly on Lifeline companies websites

We now recommend that the only place to be sure you’re finding a legitimate job is by applying directly through a Lifeline service provider’s website.

We cannot say this strongly enough: The safest place to find a job representing a Lifeline company is on that company’s website.

Not all Lifeline companies offer jobs on their websites, but many do. Below we list some those major companies, a link to their “jobs” pages, and the states in which they operate (so you wont waste your time applying at a company that doesn’t do business in your area).

Each company has a different way of finding new customers and recruiting employees. Each company has its own name for its recruitment efforts. For example, Access Wireless calls it “Careers.” American Assistance calls it “Become An Agent.” Assurance Wireless calls it “Become a Partner.”

Are other Lifeline companies hiring?

The list above includes most of the major Lifeline service providers. There may well be others. If you want to search for jobs with other service providers, here’s how to do it:

  1. Go to the service provider’s website.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the home page.
  3. Look for the list of company/website information (where it says things such as “About Us” or “Frequently Asked Questions” or “Lifeline Plans,” etc. Look or a listing that sounds job-related such as “Careers” or “Work For Us” or “Careers” or “Jobs.” Each company will call it something different so you’ll need to look for similar wording.
  4. Click on that item and you’ll be taken to a page that tells you more.

Good luck. We hope you find the perfect job and make lots of money.

    Hello, I am a field agent at a lifeline distributor located in NYC. I have been working there for 3 months now and I have constantly seen people enter and exit the facility for the time being. I was promised base pay plus commission when I first joined to find out I was being lied to. The company persuaded me to leave my financial service associate position, insisting that this opportunity would be the next step in achieving financial freedom. Everyone in the office is convinced that the supervisor is a millionaire with no subtle proof. They have us all overworked coming about 6-7 days a week I don’t see my mother father or kids like I used to and they have insisted that if you make it to a managerial position you would be allowed 150,000 dollars a year starting salary I am seeking answers. Are we being lied to? Will This opportunity allow me to expand as an entrepreneur? Or is this all bs and we are being brainwashed to make the next person’s pockets larger

      There are just so many scammers out there that we urge you to be careful. Try contacting the various companies offering Lifeline service in your state (see info below) to find out how (or if) they distribute their phones. Some of them do it with their own employees, others use outside contractors. But please make sure that you only accept a position with a reputable company.

      You wish you can work and I’m sure that Access wireless or whoever you work for would enjoy having you work for them but it would depend upon whether or not you were able to also do certain other duties of your boss may have done and sometimes here our duties which have to be learned and it won’t reflect on you and it won’t say you’re bad but you know maybe or maybe not yes you probably could. I would contact Tara come wireless if I were you and I would ask them if they would like to have you as a fuel agent because they’re giving out a pretty special plan right now that I’ve seen you know what they intend to or not but they had the best tablet last year for the emergency brought in benefit program. It was a 8.4 inch tab a 2020 Samsung tablet model number sm-t 307 which often sold for $300. And it came with a gang of data. But they stopped like assurance wireless at the end of the year. Tablet which they were supposed to resume sometime this year and a couple of employees insurance wireless told me they believe the insurance would be giving a better tablet office but neither has resumed. CARICOM wireless was supposed to resume or to begin their ACP offer rather as they have not had an ACP offer in actuality. And I kept up with them because I kept telling people to hang on this tablet is worth it far more than the others and they had a SIM card contract problem with the tablets and then they told me they had it solved and the guy Rick who was it person said he had to program me tablets for the SIM cards rather and then one guy recently told me that they were shipped out of the warehouse or they had shipped all of the more than one Warehouse whether that was two or more into one warehouse and he told me that the tablets were shipped back return to the company and I didn’t know that they had not outright purchase them but it makes sense. And with the plan they’re giving now I don’t see that they should worry about having to have a SIM card on there tablets but their tablets which they gave out last year were AT&T data while their phones are t-mobile. And it would be a bummer if they don’t resume a tablet offer man it really would they were giving those tablets out for only $10 and one penny. And they were just so much better than anything in the nation except for a handful which came close but there is one device I can think of which was actually worth as much as the terracom wireless Samsung tablet. It is a device called a two-in-1 and it is called Plex if you type p l e x and then type 10.1. and I can’t remember who it’s from but I’ve seen it on websites for $300 it had very good specs and it was like a notebook / laptop with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB RAM and other good specs. And it was giving out by a company called next link I think

        Oh, yeah… Exactly. There is something so damned cool about someone who cares so much about so many people who are struggling with poverty and they keep doing this endlessly and they received abuse they don’t deserve and I thought I had some time seen them give somebody a hard time because the person was inexperienced or didn’t understand or there was some reason when someone’s upset or angry or rude there’s usually a reason behind it it doesn’t feel good and it should be worked out but both sides try to work on it and when someone has grace allow someone to talk trash and they can spin it off like that with a skill that is so beautiful that does so much for the human race when a person does that and I have seen it put me in my place when a person doesn’t fire back on me when I have the bad mouth it really makes me understand that I’ve been beaten and that’s just fine and I’m glad that I was beaten because I didn’t want to be a successful a****** by abusing people. There’s something to be said about that art. And throw in some humor with it that’s awesome man.

But I don’t have anywhere near the tolerance and strength this person has. For instance today I finally for the first time told some people I was going to charge for the three sign ups that I know which are perfect in my area and almost no one gets these three and it makes an enormous difference. If I charge people $20 for hundreds of hours of study and effort over two years it would be a very very small crumb. I have even taken out of my pocket to pay people’s co-pays and when I return to receive what they owed me they had dope or something else they were wasting their money on but they sure didn’t have the $10 in one penny which I loan to them so they could get a tablet worth nearly $300 when terracon wireless was giving out the sm-t307 Samsung tab a last year for the EBV program. So yeah $20 ain’t bad thing is if someone truly can’t afford it and they have less than I have which is nothing and no income or doing good reasons then I would help them and I have I’ve helped hundred sign up. But it’s time to stop people are being simply lazy in my eyes. And it’s not about that and some people simply don’t know and people with struggles of poverty also have many other struggles so I will likely be continuing doing most of the signups for free but my premise is that I had such a good combination of sign ups recommending that people sign up for three different companies to get a unlimited high speed home Wi-Fi data plan for only $10 a month which also offers a half off new laptop and then they could use their ACP and lifeline district for separately to get a free SmartPhone and then get a discounted tablet and then they could transfer their ACB benefit to a different provider to get yet another smartphone but one which is much better than the first free smartphone which was with the lifeline benefit. And then the last maneuver they could do is to transfer and combine both benefits from one or from the two providers rather to one provider and in my area I’ve noted I know of right now off the top of my head only about four providers who will give 20 GB or more of mobile high speed data. Most companies who speak of unlimited data are giving either 10 gigabytes or less of a high speed data if you apply only your ACP benefit and there are some such as stand-up wireless and American assistance will give you only 10 gigabytes of high speed data if you combine both benefits together…. BUT YES THIS PERSON WHO RUNS THIS SITE IS SOMETHING VERY VERY SPECIAL MAN I REMEMBER WHEN I DIDN’T KNOW ANYTHING AND I HAVE A CRUDE QUITE A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE REGARDING DIGITAL INCLUSION ASPECTS OF DIGITAL INCLUSION RATHER. BUT I STILL LACK A TERRIBLE AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE TOO MANY THINGS IN THE TELECOMMUNICATION INDUSTRY. I’VE ALSO LEARNED HOW A PERSON CAN SHOP ON ALIBABA AND ALIEXPRESS AND SAVE A TON OF MONEY AND FIND RUGGED SMARTPHONES WHICH IS WHAT THESE COMPANIES SHOULD BE SELLING. O U K I T E L AND BLACK KEYS MAKE EACH MAKE SOME MODELS UNDER $100 LIKE THE OSCAL S60 PRO BLACKVIEW K I T E L W P MODEL WHICH CAN BE BOUGHT FOR $90 IF YOU SEARCH WELL ENOUGH ON ALIBABA AND FINALLY SELLING BY THE SINGLE ITEM FOR PURCHASES. ANYWAY YOU CAN FIND RUGGED SMARTPHONES WITH AWESOME SPECS FOR WELL UNDER $100 WHILE THEY ARE SOLD OFTEN IN AMERICA FOR AROUND $200. COMPANIES COULD GIVE THESE TWO CUSTOMERS. AND MAKE YOU CONSIDER GIVING A DEVICE SUCH AS THE RUGGED TABLET RT1 MADE BY OUKITEL WHICH CAN NOW BE FOUND ON ALIBABA FOR UNDER $160. THEY CAN GET THIS TO A CUSTOMER WHO REMAINS LOYAL AFTER MAYBE 9 MONTHS. AND THEN GIVE A BV 8800 BLACKVIEW RUGGED SMARTPHONE WHICH IS A MONSTER AND A BIG BROTHER OF THE S60 PRO IT COULD GIVE THIS DEVICE MAYBE AFTER A PERSON’S BEEN LOYAL FOR A YEAR AND A HALF OR SO. IT DOES MATTER THINGS UP SOMETIMES THAT PEOPLE CAN SWITCH EASILY THE WAY THEY WISH BUT IT’S NICE TO IN SOME INSTANCES.

There is several of us that have worked for this guy who represent Assurance wireless and he hasn’t paid a bunch of us. And now we can’t reach him. I get that you guys don’t work for any of the providers but there has to be away to actually speak to someone at Assuranxe who cares about this injustice

          • Free Government Cell Phones says

            You’re making the precarious assumption that your “employer” actually worked for Assurance. In many of these cases, the “employer” is fraudulent not just with customers and you, but also with the service provider.

            Assurance is owned by cell phone giant T-Mobile. Find its headquarters in New Jersey and try contacting them.

    i have qlink wireless and i’m about ready to throw it away and get a different provider. had the same first generation of smart/ stupid zte maven and the phone held up to two years of torment from children to adult child/ xhusband throwing it, hitting me in the head and bouncing off the wall. i’m not one to upgrade unless i need to and i made this very apparent to the operator who helped me to get the phone set up. they told me that it would be free upgrade whenever I thought i needed it. i need the phone to got with the sim card that was sent to me?
    i also had 3 verizon note 9s and a samsung watch stolen over 2years ago and the company told me then that the phones were not active in my name and that the new owners would have to pay the 3,000 bill. im now after 2yrs of no bill from Verizon i change address and now i get a bill from them for the note 9s pluse the other iteams that the new owner put on it.
    help with both would be great since i have assurant mobile portection on all my electronics ?

      You can do this… If you live in an area which is covered by Comcast and you can sign up for the Comcast Xfinity Internet essentials plan which cost only $10 per month if you pay for it out of pocket. And I would recommend that you do pay for it out of pocket at least for the first couple or few months. That way you will be able to use your lifetime benefit and your ACP benefits separately at first to focus on getting the best smartphone and tablet combo. In my area it’s covered by Comcast and terracom wireless so I have helped friends to sign up with the $10 per month Wi-Fi plan which is offered by comcast. The Xfinity Internet essentials plan is clean Wi-Fi at high speed for poor people or more. They also offer you a new Dell 3120 latitude or a new deal 3100 Chromebook for only $150. These often go for 250 to $300. And terracom wireless will give you a free MAX West and nitro 5p smartphone worth around $110 on walmart.com. this is unlocked. And it’s dual SIM card capable. Being unlocked is unheard of. They also have been giving out the only 500 minutes of talk if you use your lifeline benefit alone with unlimited texting and normally 4.5 GB of data but they have been given out more than that recently even if you’re using your life alone. And the best deal anyone else gives out for the lifeline benefit if you use it in standalone fashion is a thousand minutes plus unlimited texting plus 4.5 GB of data. Wireless gets out at the moment possibly because of their problem with their tablet offer which they didn’t get to get going like they wanted to then it may be better go to terracom if they’re giving enough data and you can tolerate 500 minutes a month. Especially if you get a good shot from case and screen protector. Or you may use it with e x c e s Telecom who gives a great data plan for using your ACP benefit by itself. Excise Telecom gives $25 25,000 texts and 25,000 calls a operator recently told me after I had been seen ads for 15 gb. And they offer different tablets but I would make damn sure I’m going to get one of the sky tablets and tablets made by vortex and tables. because I’m going to make sure that I’m getting one with 3 GB of RAM and at least 4000 mAh battery with preferably an octa-core processor although a quad core processor is tolerable and sometimes 2 gigabytes of RAM is tolerable. But after you get your tablet or if you want to sit money and not use your $100 copay to get a tablet or a laptop for a while you can transfer your ACP benefit to new phone wireless or air talk wireless. But I don’t like signing up for them because I sign people up to find out near the end of the application that most of the phones which are free for the ACP program which they have advertised or not available and this is to be expected to be honest. But I have seen that one or other of the company recently had some of the better phones available such as the Nord n o r d n 205g and a Samsung 832 and a LG thinqv50. So signing up with Comcast and payment the dollars out of month for the Xfinity Internet essentials plan is a good idea if you can afford the $10. If you can’t then you could use your ACP benefit to get it free but that doesn’t allow you to use the $100 devices the ACP program also pays for you. And you have to do it a certain way so you get the phone that works in America and you got to watch how much you bet you pay because you may get stopped at customs in the US to be taxed

    I have had state phones through more than one company over years, though not more than one at a time. I have requested that my accounts be closed, none has been used for years. One company took 6 months to deactivate my phone when it got stolen, even though they said it was shut off. Now I have three companies all saying my account is closed, Assurance, Qlink, and Safelink, yet when I try to apply I get denied saying I have an active phone already. I cannot “access that information” when I ask which company, and when I contact the other phones offered in my state I’m told nothing is active. I’ve been fighting this for months now, any advice? I don’t have any of the phones and only know one of the phone numbers for account access.

        Once again NOT TRUE !!!!

        First and foremost someone who is emancipated at the age of 17 can get a phone so let information you just received is not correct you do not need to be 18. Furthermore a parent who qualifies for the program once they take possession of that phone it’s their phone they can then give that phone to their child to use as much as they want whenever they want so when people tell you that this person can’t get a phone they can if your the legal guardian you watch the child you can qualify for the phone and trust me you will qualify for it and then you can get to the phone to that person Emma doing Lifeline now for five years and I’ve forgotten more about Lifeline that anyone on here will ever know do you want the real skinny just hit me up

          Any of them who qualify can enroll, Kurt. However, special paperwork must be filled out because they live in a group home. Ordinarily, only one free government cell phone is permitted per address, but exceptions are made in cases like yours. You may want to contact one of the companies’ customer service teams to discuss.

            ITS 1 PHONE PER ECONOMIC UNIT… THIS MEANS THAT SINCE EACH PERSON AT YOUR HOME PAYS THEIR OWN BILLS AND THEY ARE NOT LEGALLY MARRIED THEY THEY QUALIFY UNDER THE PROGRAM…

          Several kinds of abuse, Jim. Fraud by agents who sign up customers who don’t qualify. They get paid for every phone they distribute, so some of them are willing to commit fraud by enrolling people who don’t qualify for the program. There is also tons of fraud by people who have multiple free government cell phone accounts. There are other scams involved, but that’s enough to answer your question.

            Does the street vendor determine who qualifies for a phone? I thought customers were screened by the app the vendor is using. How can it be his/her fault if someone is cheating the system? How is it different if they apply at a brick and mortar type of business?

          • Free Government Cell Phones says

            The street vendors are generally paid a commission for each phone they distribute, so they are incentivized to give phones to people who are not qualified to receive them. There are countless incidents of fraud in this program and we have constantly editorialized against it. The companies have been fined repeatedly for fraud and abuse that they have been willing to overlook. In fact, one company’s fraud was so extensive that they were fined out of existence.

            Very few of the free government cell phone companies have brick and mortar stores.

      You can find that info in a number of articles on this website, Jay, but we’ll be good guys and recap: Every phone bill in the UNited States includes a line item called “Universal Service Fund.” It’s generally a few cents per month per phone bill. Each free government cell phone company is paid $9.25 per month per customer out of those funds.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      Tough to answer that question, April. To begin with, most of the free government cell phone companies sub this kind of work out to other companies. (That’s one of the reasons there have been so many problems with fraud and abuse of the program at the street tents.) In other words, you want to become one of those subcontractors. We would suggest that you reach out to the corporate offices of the various Lifeline companies in your state.

Poor guys chasing ppl all over and i’m sitting in the shade with a 20+ person line before me. It also helps we give out actual smartphones instead of those outdated calls only phones. Also yes you can make approx 1k a week. Closest i’ve gotten was 800 a week. It was great. Now i average between 500 and 800 a week….if it’s really nasty outside i’ll do considerably worse. Learn your audiences habits and where they’ll be. Perfect example, talk to an office manager of an access office.. see if you can set shop outside…everyone going there either has benefits or is applying. Easy money.

      There’s no regulation that says you must have a social security number. Admittedly, it’s unusual for someone not to have one, but we don’t think it’s an insurmountable problem. Your clients would qualify based on the programs in which they participate.

        Actually the last 4 of a social security are needed. The persons id or licence is verified in 2 ways. By the id or dl number being run through the dmv and the last 4 being ran through social sec. If everything comes back fine they can proceed. If something isnt right you are informed to fix the issue before being allowed to proceed. Ive been working as an ind contra for 2 yrs with the free cellphones.

    ATTN: All you people wanting a job handing out ” free Obama phones”.
    Just keep it in mind you may want to work for a company that sets you up in an office or tent, where if people were interested in coming to see you.
    I do not like phone solicitors, (or any other type) knocking on my door. A large man just came to my door and gave his pitch about the free phone. He was nice, had a bag full of phones, and wore an I.d. badge around his neck. But he looked, ( not saying he was) casing my house. I will say it would have ended very badly in his favor if he made any false move that was in a threatening manner.
    Most people in the safety and comfort of their homes WILL do what’s necessary to protect property and most important family.
    I do not trust strangers, ( especially coming to my front door uninvited) .
    So if you want or need a job handing out phones, great, but be aware you are a stranger. Use common sense, and most important, if there’s a sign posted at a house or apt. building that states ” No Soliciting “, THAT MEANS YOU!!!

      My comment to Dennis comment :

      Im just curious how you ended up at this site and was it just to specifically comment post the solicitor at the door?

      It would seem strange to go door to door at actual houses to see if people want to sign up for a free phone, perhaps the “solicitor” at your door was only really casing in order to figure out if going door to door is even reasonable being that most people whose incomes are too high to qualify for the sponsored phone dealio would make for a long day of being told no over and over.
      Just sayin. Could have appeared to be casing , but not necessarily in hopes of coming back to rob the place.
      solicitation does not occur when a person applies for a grant or an award to the government or to an organization that is exempt from federal income taxation under s. 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and described in s. 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.”

      Technically and legally this would not be defined as solicitation

      SafeLink is run by a subsidiary of América Móvil, the world’s fourth largest wireless company in terms of subscribers, but it is not paid for directly by the company. Nor is it paid for with “tax payer money,”.

      Most of the free government cell phones do not employee the people who work at the street tents and booths. Instead they contract with an outside company that employs those people. That means that you need to contact the Lifeline companies in your state and ask how to get in touch with the companies they contract with. Because those are the companies you want to apply to.

    Hi,
    I have a small business in Westminster city, CA 92683. I want to become a agent for providing free phone (government assistance) to the low income.

    Can you let me know about the procedures to be that kind of agent.

    My email: phuvico@********.com

    Specifically How much does the government lifeline assistance subsidy pay these companies PER SALE? I heard it was 10 dollars a month but that has to be false it must be much more if the same company is willing its rep 10 dollars per sale right otherwise it is 0 profit? SO how much is it per sale? Can you answer that thanks

      We are not privy to the inner workings of the deals cut by individual Lifeline Assistance companies and the independent contractors who take applications and hand out phones. Many rep organizations leave comments and attempt to recruit employees here at FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net, but we never approve those comments because we are unable to vouch for the credibility of those reps and organizations.

      If one of those reps or organizations would like to answer Andrews question, we will approve the comment.

        Payment amount varies based on the company and rep level productivity. The industry standard is $8 for most reps, but those running teams can earn upwards of $12 per enrollment. There are multiple models and various degrees of contractors operating (not all within guidelines and not all at the true contractual level.). It’s important to ask specific questions when speaking to anyone offering this service, such as “Are you the master agent or an enrolled agent?” & “Do you hold a direct contact with the carrier?”

      Virtually none of the free government cell phone companies publish their booth schedules. There’s a good reason for that — most of their street sales teams are independent agents who set their own schedules.
      On top of that, we do not recommend signing up for the program at street booths. We’ve received too many complaints of fraud. Instead, we recommend signing up online or by phone directly with the companies.

        Some free government cell phone company websites actively seek employees, but we’ve never found any “Come work for us” or “Job Openings” listed on the Safelink site. But that doesn’t mean they’re not looking, Kayla. We’d suggest contacting the company either by phone or online.

        You can find all the contact info on our Safelink page, which you can access by clicking on the “Providers” link at the top of this page.

        Good luck.

I have a Budget ..it is so bad that now it is broken after one month of use I would like to see what else I could have done. I can’t follow your answers at all . I am on this post by accident… before you marginalize me and my comment because I am poor and need a phone ( you know you are) I would like to say I see your sincerity and hard work and I am just suggesting you could make it even better.

      Each service provider has different methods of distribution.

    Dear Sir:

    I am interested in employment with your company as a cell phone distribution agent in the Fort Washington and Beltsville Maryland areas. I would set up a tent in those two areas and distribute your cell phones.

    I heard about this job opportunity while trying to find a company that would issue me a cell phone, so that I could seek employment in Maryland. I just became unemployed four weeks ago, due to seasonal changes.

    While employed on my last job, I was a pool operator on outdoor pools. Now, there isn’t a need for my professional services, so I must seek another type of employment.

    I am a dedicated individual, and my last job, before the one I wrote about above, I was a Manager at a Sports Complex indoor pool for the Maryland National Park and Planning Commission. I was there for over fifteen years or more.

    I am not with any government program right now. If it counts, my daughter, age three, is with the Maryland Medicaid program under the Maryland Health Connection.gov.

    If you could issue me a government issued cell phone, and information on how to become a cell phone distributor in Maryland, please contact me or write to me at ************************** Maryland 20744.

    I thank you in advance.

    Sincerely,

    A SPRINT/TRUE WIRELESS representative signed me up for a free phone on September 17, 2015 at a State Government Office, because I qualify, but I have NOT received the letter he said I would receive first, nor the phone (2-3 weeks) after giving this guy the application with my personal information on it. I am upset and feel that that was a scam or either True Wireless AND Sprint collectively dropped the ball on processing something which has been funded by the federal government. I want to know who do I contact regarding this matter before I end up reporting it to the federal government concerning possible fraudulent practices.
