Special plans

Special Plans for Residents

In California, residents have access to some of the most advantageous offers when it comes to free government cell phone services. This is largely due to the generous monthly subsidies provided by cell phone companies within the state, often exceeding the federal subsidies available to users in other regions. Consequently, California residents enjoy enhanced benefits, including more text messages, additional talk minutes, and typically larger data allowances. Below is a breakdown of what you can anticipate from the various plans available in California.

Unlimited texting and calling along with 500MB of data at no cost.
Unlimited texting and calling with 1.2GB of data for just $10 a month.
