Seems I need a phone [View all]

I really do not want one but everyone keeps telling me I must have one.

At present I have a landline that I pay $11 a month for as I qualify for low-income rates on this line. I do not want to change my phone number.

I am now receiving SNAP/CalFresh which apparently qualifies me for other things, like a phone.

Does anyone know where I can get one and for how much?

My late husband left me nothing and living on next to nothing is a real chore.

I am a disabled senior citizen living in California.

Help in you can.

Thank you!
