| All is in process, but it looks like everything has worked out.
Closing the thread, the Red Cross gave her an emergency credit card, and
authorized her to use it to pay the downpayment for a cellular line of
service. Before you get excited, hear this out:
- Red Cross disaster fund paid for her deposit (which refunds to her,
Carrier has this money now)
- Plan came with a free phone (Carrier provides the free phone with a 2 yr
commitment)
- Someone paid for or donated her a belt clip, because the phone didn't come
with it
- And with the completed application, and the Red Cross's support, we have
requested a 100% discount on the monthly service. (Carrier requested, but
not yet approved)
- She has elected to put insurance on her phone... and I don't know how to
get that money back to her.
That is the current status... didn't say who paid for what; I guess things
just work out. The carrier you ask? In this instance: Nextel Partners, but
that was her choice., partly because of the deposit amount.
PS: there is no commission on "$0" monthly plan <duh>. dr
