Special plans

Exclusive Plans for Residents

In California, residents are fortunate to benefit from some of the best offers available for free government cell phones. The reason for this advantage lies in the fact that cellular service providers in California tend to provide a monthly subsidy that surpasses the federal assistance offered to users in other states. Consequently, Californians enjoy access to a greater number of text messages, calling minutes, and often more data than their counterparts elsewhere. Below is an overview of what individuals in California can expect from their plans.

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

Plans Available for Other States

For individuals residing in states outside of California, as well as in Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, the Lifeline Assistance program provides a different set of offerings for free government cell phone plans.

Bring Your Own Device Option

If you choose to bring your own device, you will receive a complimentary SIM card along with unlimited texting, 350 free minutes each month, and 1GB of data for the first three months. After that initial period, you will receive 500MB of data each month. It is important to note that you need a compatible GSM smartphone to participate in this program.

Free Smartphone Provision

Alternatively, you can opt to receive a free smartphone that is equipped with data and Wi-Fi capabilities. This plan includes unlimited texting and 353 calling minutes each month, along with 500MB of data.

Program Features

Signing up for SafeLink Wireless is straightforward and free; no contracts are required. You can easily apply online or reach out via phone.
