Special plans

Exclusive Offers for California Residents

In the realm of free government cell phone services, residents of California stand out as they often enjoy superior benefits compared to individuals in other states. This is primarily due to the generous monthly subsidies provided by cell phone companies operating in California, which tend to exceed the federal subsidies available in other regions. As a result, Californians typically receive a more robust package that includes higher allowances for texts, talk time, and data. Below are some of the offerings you can anticipate if you're a resident in California:

Unlimited text and talk: Enjoy unlimited texting and calling, along with a complimentary 500MB of data each month.
Affordable Plan: For just $10 per month, you can access unlimited text and talk, plus 1.2GB of data.
Enhanced Data Option: At $17.60 monthly, you will receive unlimited text and talk, plus 4GB of data.
Premium Package: For $32.60 a month, receive unlimited text and talk along with a generous 10GB of data.

What to Expect in Other States

For individuals residing in other states, as well as in Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, the Lifeline Assistance program offers different features. Here’s what you can typically expect from these plans:

Bring Your Own Device

If you choose to bring your own compatible GSM smartphone, you will receive a free SIM card along with unlimited texting, 350 monthly minutes, and 1GB of data for the first three months. Subsequently, you will receive 500MB of data every month.

Receive a Complimentary Smartphone
