Special plans

Exclusive Plans for Mobile Services

Individuals residing in California are typically offered the most advantageous options when it comes to complimentary government mobile phone services. This is primarily due to the enhanced monthly subsidies provided by mobile service providers in California, which often exceed the federal support available to users in other states. Consequently, residents of California can expect to receive a greater allocation of text messages, voice minutes, and generally more data. Below are the standard offerings available to Californians:

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

Plans for Other States

For residents located in other states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, the Lifeline Assistance program provides the following options for free government cell phone plans:

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Under this plan, you will receive a complimentary SIM card, which allows for unlimited texting and 350 monthly minutes. Additionally, you will be granted 1 GB of data for the first three months, with a subsequent allowance of 500MB of data each month thereafter. It is important to note that you must possess a compatible GSM smartphone to take part in this program.

Receive a Free Mobile Device

This option offers a complimentary smartphone equipped with data and Wi-Fi capabilities. You will benefit from unlimited texting and 353 minutes of talk time each month, along with an allocation of 500MB of data.

Program Overview

There are no binding contracts involved, and signing up for SafeLink Wireless is entirely free. You can complete your application process online or by contacting customer service directly. The registration process is designed to be simple and efficient. Upon enrolling in the SafeLink Wireless program, you will gain access to several valuable features, including:

Essential services such as call waiting, caller ID, and voicemail.
Options for international long-distance calling.
Unused minutes can be rolled over, depending on the plan you choose.
The mobile device will remain active for one year following shipment, after which you must recertify your eligibility for the program on an annual basis.

Residents of California generally enjoy a more generous allocation of text messages and minutes, along with access to superior mobile devices. In contrast, individuals in other states typically receive more basic cell phone options. Specifically, California residents are often provided with Android smartphones.

Additional Minutes

In the event that you exhaust your minutes before the month concludes, there are still solutions available. You can purchase TracFone Airtime Cards, which are conveniently sold at retailers such as CVS, Walmart, Target, Kmart, Walgreens, RadioShack, Family Dollar stores, Rite Aid, and Dollar General. Furthermore, you have the option to acquire these minutes online.

The standard plan typically grants you around 350 minutes each month; however, should you require additional minutes, they are available for purchase as needed. This can be managed through our SafeLink Wireless/TracFone Minutes page. Additionally, you may utilize Tracfone promo codes to access special deals within the program.
