I just applied for one of these for my brother. He's diabetic and without a phone which is very necessary for him to have since he can go low real quick. It's a basic tracphone and they put 68mins a month on it. It's all totally free and basically a good phone to have for emergency situations. It's not available in all states yet but they are expanding to new states all the time. Just a few months ago you couldn't get one in NY but now you can.
