Exclusive Offers for California Residents

In California, residents are fortunate to enjoy some of the most advantageous options for free government cell phone services. This is largely due to the fact that cellular service providers in the state offer a monthly subsidy that often surpasses the federal assistance available in other regions. Consequently, individuals living in California typically receive enhanced benefits, including more text messages, additional call minutes, and increased data allowances. Below is a breakdown of what Californian residents can anticipate 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 monthly.
