This results in California residents enjoying enhanced features such as increased texting, calling minutes, and data allowances. Below is a summary of what one can anticipate when enrolling in a cellular plan in California:

Unlimited texting and calling, along with 500MB of data at no cost.
Unlimited texting and calling, plus 1.2GB of data for a nominal fee of $10 per month.

Bring Your Own Device

If you prefer to use your own phone, you can opt for this plan, which includes a complimentary SIM card, unlimited texting, and 350 free minutes each month. The first three months will provide you with 1GB of data, followed by a monthly allowance of 500MB thereafter. It’s important to note that you will need a compatible GSM smartphone to qualify for this program.
