Special plans

Special Plans for Government Cell Phone Assistance

In California, residents often enjoy the most advantageous arrangements when it comes to free government cell phone services. This is primarily due to the fact that the telecommunications companies within the state provide a monthly subsidy that tends to surpass the federal assistance available to users in other regions. As a result, Californians benefit from enhanced offerings, including a higher number of texts, minutes, and data. Below, we outline the various plans available to residents of California.

Unlimited Texts and Unlimited Talk: Receive this plan along with 500MB of data completely free of charge.
Unlimited Texts and Unlimited Talk: For just $10 per month, you'll also receive 1.2 GB of data.
Unlimited Texts and Unlimited Talk: Get 4GB of data for a monthly fee of $17.60.
Unlimited Texts and Unlimited Talk: For $32.60 a month, you can enjoy 10 GB of data.

Plans for Residents in Other States

For those residing outside of California, including in Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, the Lifeline Assistance free government cell phone plan offers a slightly different set of benefits. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:

Bring Your Own Phone

If you choose to use your own phone, you will receive a complimentary SIM card along with unlimited texts, 350 free minutes per month, and 1 GB of data for the first three months. Following that, your data allowance will update to 500MB each month. Please note that you must possess a compatible GSM smartphone to take advantage of this option.

Receive a Free Phone

Alternatively, you can receive a free smartphone equipped with data and Wi-Fi capabilities. This plan grants you unlimited texts and 353 monthly minutes along with an initial 500MB of data.
