I did six weeks of outpatient group therapy after my inpatient stay in May. Some of the patients had pay-as-you-go cell phone because that's all they could afford on the small amount of money they got to live off of. This outpatient program provided transportation and the drivers always phoned the patients before heading to their apartments to pick them up to make sure they were up and ready to be picked up. Phoenix is a big place.
I can't tell you how many patients would have benefited from something like this because they ran out of money buying food and such and couldn't afford to put additional minutes on their phones. These people are seriously mentally ill people who in spite of medication have serious symptoms and even have seizures. Some of them have no family or their families could not care less about them. So for them, this would be a blessing.
