Exclusive Offers for Residents

Residents of California enjoy some of the most advantageous deals regarding free government cell phones. This is primarily due to the fact that mobile service providers in California tend to provide a monthly subsidy that surpasses the federal assistance available to users in many other states. As a result, individuals in California typically receive a greater number of texts, minutes, and data. Below is an overview of what you can anticipate from a cell phone plan if you reside in California.

Unlimited texting and calling along with 500MB of data at no cost.
Unlimited texting and calling plus 1.2 GB of data for just $10 per month.
Unlimited texting and calling along with 4GB of data for a monthly fee of $17.60.
Unlimited texting and calling and 10 GB of data for only $32.60 per month.

Options for Residents in Other States

If you reside in any of the other states, Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia, here’s what you can expect from the Lifeline Assistance free government cell phone program.

Bring Your Own Phone

For those who prefer to use their existing phone, you can obtain a free SIM card. This option includes unlimited texting, 350 free minutes each month, and 1 GB of data for the first three months, followed by 500MB of data each month thereafter. Please note that a compatible GSM smartphone is necessary for this service.

Receive a Free Phone

Alternatively, you can opt for a free smartphone that features data and Wi-Fi capabilities. This plan offers unlimited texting and 353 minutes of calling each month, along with 500MB of data.
