Sprint announced Thursday it will bring its Assurance Wireless service for 
people who receive government subsidies to Kentucky.

The service, which is already available in 25 states, provides a cell phone 
and 250 minutes per month for free. The goal is to connect people with 
potential employers, medical provider and child caregivers, according to a 
Sprint news release.

The wireless provider estimated more than 350,000 Kentuckians would be 
eligible for the service.

After the 250 minutes are used, customers can purchase additional minutes or 
capabilities such as texting and international calling.

People eligible for service include those who participate in the following 
programs: Medicaid, food stamps, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, 
Supplemental Security Income, Section 8 federal housing assistance, Low 
Income Home Energy Assistance and the National School Lunch Program's free 
lunch offering. Documentation is required to prove you're eligible.

For information, visit Assurancewireless.com or call 1-800-395-2171.
