Who the HELL is REGAN? JOE REGAN? The comedian?
I gather you didn't go far enough in school to spell correctly.
Try it sometime, you might find it refreshing.
Unlikely but what the hay....
Let's see, just how many smart phones were around in 90?
You really need to update your browser, AOL is dead now. So do you still have that dial up modem SCREAMING at 30 Kb/second?

@jimm619 saidSmart phones didn't even exist when Reagan was president.
Maybe not, but he was President
when the program was instituted.
READ THE LINK.
Reagan plan gave discounts on phone service to poor people so they'd have a telephone for emergency use, nothing like giving away smart phones to everyone who crosses the border.
Sheesh.

Obama Phones: What You Need to Know
If you are low income or are participating in a government sponsored program, then you may qualify to receive a free Obama phone. The Lifeline Assistance program has existed since 1985, but became popular under President Barack Obama’s administration. Thus, the phones have become known as "Obama phones."
The following information offers you information on the history, eligibility requirements, and application process regarding free Obama phones.
History
In 1985, the FCC created the Lifeline Assistance program to offer low income Americans the ability to retain their landline service at a more affordable rate. The program was designed to allow lower income Americans the ability to connect with employers, medical professionals, and family members in the event that phone service had become a luxury that was unaffordable.
Since the popularity of the modernized version of the Lifeline Assistance program exploded during the Obama administration, the phones became known as "Obama phones." An Obama phone is simply a basic wireless device that allows you to make and receive calls or text messages.
The Universal Service Fund
Under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Universal Service Fund was created and implemented as a means of providing free phones to low income consumers in the United States. Under this piece of legislation, consumers all over the country have been able to access quality phone service. If you have had a phone bill at one point, then you have paid into this fund. Typically, charges to each consumer have been between a few cents and a couple of dollars every month. With every consumer who has phone service paying into the fund, it has created a large pool from which the Lifeline Assistance program draws its funds for the Obama phone program.
