Eight companies offering free cell phones to Katrina evacuees

At least eight companies are offering free phones with 300 minutes of cellular service to Hurricane Katrina evacuees, writes Dateline Alabama.

Other companies may join Alltel, Cellular South, Centennial Wireless, Cingular, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile, Tracfone and Verizon Wireless in the program, Louisiana Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell said Friday.

The 300 free minutes expire March 1, and are limited to one for each household which the Federal Emergency Management Agency found eligible for housing assistance because of Hurricane Katrina. They should call the FCC at 888-CALL-FCC or 888-225-5322 for more information.
