I thought you needed an address so the phone company can bill you.

I was thinking the same thing, but then there's those new fangled pre-paid phone jammies.

There is also stolen phones.
"Public food distribution causes safety problems related to health, litter and traffic -- and it also violates the Fulton County Health Code," Franklin said.
As opposed to picking through trash cans and dumpsters?

Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin's homeless commission, put together after complaints from business people, tourists and residents, produced a report in March titled, "Blueprint to End Homelessness in Atlanta."
That's a nice name, but from what I'm reading its not exactly a plan to end homelessness as much as it is a plan to put the homeless in a place where no one can see them.

My Mortgage is a little under $1800 a month. When I rented it was at least $900 a month.
My Cell phone cost me $50 and service costs $40 a month.
I broke out my Slide ruler and found that Cell Phone cost less than a Home. So I could see how one couldn't afford a home but had enough for a cellphone.
Now. It's just plain stupid to spend what little money you have on Mobile Phone servide, but there are TONS of stupid people out there so why is anyone surprised.
I am still trying to understand people who buy a $9000-$15,000 import and spend $40,000 trying to turn it into something from The Fast and The Furious. When they could have spent that money on a REALLY NICE CAR.

I remember driving on the overpasses in Bangkok over a lot of the "Shantytowns" that existed under them, and seeing all kinds of things like that. TONS of satellite dishes, new cars/bikes, people on cell phones...
Consumer priority, dammit.

I'm currently using a PO Box as a mailing address and Verizon doesn't seem to have a problem with it.
Then again, they're ignorant, money sucking greedbags.

You can get a cell phone PREPAYED where You buy a phone, then get a phone card, and you put the minutes on the phone through the card. You don't need to give an address for this.

I'm sure Patti is right, she should know.
But now she's living the high life in Times Square.
