California Telephone Access Program (CTAP)
The state of California has the California Telephone Access Program (CTAP), which distributes free telephones and other equipment and services to individuals who have difficulty using the telephone. You can download an application form online, or contact a Call Center and request that a form be sent to you.
There are the seven Call Centers in California, from the Sacramento area down to the San Diego area.
