Special plans

Exclusive Plans for Californians

Residents of California often enjoy the most advantageous offers regarding free government cell phones. This is primarily due to the fact that cell phone providers in California tend to provide a larger monthly subsidy when compared to the federal assistance available in other regions. As a result, Californians typically receive a more generous allocation of texts, minutes, and data on their plans. Below is an overview of what you can typically expect from a government-sponsored plan in California.

Receive unlimited text messaging and unlimited calling along with 500MB of data at no cost.
Enjoy unlimited text and unlimited talk, plus 1.2 GB of data for only $10 per month.
Get unlimited text and unlimited talk, along with 4GB of data for a monthly fee of $17.60.
Access unlimited text and unlimited talk, plus 10 GB of data for $32.60 each month.

Plans for Other States

For individuals residing in other states, including Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, the Lifeline Assistance program offers different benefits. Here’s what you can anticipate on the free government cell phone plan.

Bring Your Own Device

If you prefer to use your own phone, you will receive a complimentary SIM card, unlimited text messaging, 350 free minutes each month, and 1 GB of data for the initial three months. After that period, your plan will be updated to include 500MB of data monthly. Please note that a compatible GSM smartphone is required to take part in this program.
