Special plans

Exclusive Plans for California Residents

Individuals residing in California often enjoy the most advantageous offers when it comes to complimentary government cell phone services. This is largely due to the fact that telecommunications providers in California tend to provide a monthly subsidy that frequently surpasses the federal assistance available to users in other states. As a result, California residents benefit from a greater allocation of text messages, talk time, and typically more data. Below is an overview of the plans available to residents in California.

Unlimited texts and calls along with 500MB of data at no cost
Unlimited texts and calls, plus 1.2 GB of data for just $10 each month
Unlimited texts and calls, along with 4GB of data for $17.60 a month
Unlimited texts and calls, and 10 GB of data for $32.60 monthly

Plans Available for Residents of Other States

For individuals living in states outside of California, along with residents of Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, here are the details of what to expect from the Lifeline Assistance free government cell phone program.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Option

If you choose to bring your own device, you will receive a complimentary SIM card, unlimited text messaging, 350 free minutes each month, and 1 GB of data for the first three months. After the initial period, you will receive 500MB of data each month. Please ensure that you have a compatible GSM smartphone to take advantage of this program.

Receive a Free Mobile Device

Alternatively, you can opt to receive a complimentary smartphone equipped with data and Wi-Fi capabilities. This plan includes unlimited text messaging and 353 minutes of calling each month, in addition to 500MB of data.

The SafeLink Wireless program does not require you to sign a contract, and signing up is entirely free. You can submit your application conveniently online or by calling the designated number. The sign-up process is straightforward and efficient. By enrolling in the SafeLink Wireless program, you can expect to access a variety of features, including:
