Special plans

Exclusive Mobile Plans for California Residents

Residents of California are in a fortunate position when it comes to the free government cell phone initiative. The cell phone providers operating within California tend to offer a more generous monthly subsidy compared to those in other states. Consequently, Californians often enjoy enhanced benefits, including more text messages, additional talk time, and increased data allowances. Below are the plans you can anticipate if you reside in California:

Unlimited text messages and unlimited talk time, along with 500MB of data at no cost.
Unlimited text messages, unlimited talk time, and 1.2 GB of data for just $10 per month.
Unlimited text messages, unlimited talk time, plus 4GB of data for a monthly fee of $17.60.
Unlimited text messages, unlimited talk time, and 10 GB of data available for $32.60 per month.

Plans for Residents in Other States

For individuals living outside California, including Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, a different set of benefits is available under the Lifeline Assistance program for free government cell phones. Here’s what you can expect:

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Option

If you choose to bring your own phone, the program provides you with a complimentary SIM card, unlimited text messaging, and 350 monthly minutes of talk time. For the first three months, you’ll also receive 1 GB of data, which subsequently reduces to 500MB each month thereafter. It is essential that you possess a compatible GSM smartphone to take part in this program.

Receive a Free Phone Option

If you prefer to receive a new phone, the program includes a complimentary smartphone equipped with data and Wi-Fi capabilities. This option grants you unlimited text messaging and 353 minutes of talk time monthly, along with 500MB of data.

Understanding the Program

One of the significant advantages of the SafeLink Wireless program is that there are no contracts required for enrollment, and applying is completely free. Interested individuals can submit their applications either online or by phone, with the signup process being straightforward and quick. Once you are enrolled in the SafeLink Wireless program, you will benefit from a variety of features on your mobile device:

Essential features such as caller ID, voicemail, and call waiting.
International long-distance calling capabilities.
Unused minutes can carry over, although this may depend on the specific plan you choose.
Your mobile handset will remain active for one full year from the date of shipment. You will need to recertify your eligibility for the program annually.

Californians generally receive more text messages and minutes in comparison to residents of other states, who typically receive a more basic mobile device. While individuals in California are often provided with Android smartphones, those in other states may only get basic phones.

Extra Minutes When Needed

In the event that you exhaust your monthly minutes before the billing cycle concludes, you still have options. TracFone Airtime Cards can be purchased at various retail locations, including CVS, Walmart, Target, Kmart, Walgreens, RadioShack, Family Dollar, Rite Aid, and Dollar General. Additionally, you can acquire these minutes online.

The standard plan typically offers around 350 minutes each month, but you have the flexibility to purchase additional minutes as required. Further information can be found on the SafeLink Wireless/Tracfone Minutes page, where you can also utilize Tracfone promo codes for potential discounts on your plan.
