The only govt assisted program requires you to already have monthly service to get a discount on service. It's not free. And most of the people on the street don't have established credit to qualify for monthly service. So they eat the cost 100 percent most times, of buying a new phone that has a pay as you go card renewal plan.Depending on the type of homeless quite a few have internet access from my experience.
Mostly either an Obama phone (heard they changed the programs name) or any government assistance they spend it on a simple phone plan. You could also get a cheap jail broken and bum out at places with free wifi. Those who do normally aren't on hard drugs and are just down on their luck.
Chris also knows about the local library so unless he's causing problems. He will somehow someway gain access to the internet. Even if he's limited/restricted.
This talk about "Obama phone" and a subsidized govt phone an homeless get for free must be from the other dimension bc it certainly isn't here in the United States
