who provides the obama phones
Free Obamaphones and service are provided by authorized Lifeline Assistance cell phone companies. Each company must apply to and be approved by the Federal Communications Commission, on a state-by state basis. Individuals who wish to apply for a free cell phone and service must go through one of these companies. While some Lifeline providers are very large and serve most states, there are also quite a few regional companies serving a smaller number of states.
