Sprint has a similar program, except I think it distributes the phone to 
a wider range -- includes elderly, town watch groups, etc.  I think 
there are a lot of programs like this.  I also found out -- by accident 
-- that a deactivated Sprint phone can make regular calls -- at an 
exorbitant price -- using a credit card.  But in an emergency, when a 
pay phone is not an alternative...
