Our goal is to provide you with the most accessible information regarding free cell phone plans- including government programs like Lifeline and available discounts from other cell phone providers. We have provided a state-by-state listing of every cell phone provider that participates in the Free Cell Phone Program (Lifeline), provided a comparison chart of available plans that includes number of talk & text by each provider, and contact details for every provider so that you have a direct line to them if need be. We also have a comprehensive tips and FAQ section which should answer any remaining questions you have. If you are unable to find the answer to your question, please contact us and we will do our best to help.
A message from the writer of USAFreeCellPhone.com...
I was raised in a family of 4 on welfare for most of my youth. I recognize that you don't always have control over your financial situation and that reaching out for help is sometimes a necessity. There is absolutely nothing wrong with utilizing food stamps or other government programs when the need is there- those programs were put in place to help you can get back on your feet again.
It has been many years now that I graduated from college and received my PhD. I would not have been able to do this without the government help I received along the way. And I completely understand the need for reliable ways to communicate with prospective employers, family members, and child carers.
For several years, I worked for the largest cell phone provider (also a Fortune 5 company) as a National Retail Account Manager. I also conducted training sessions for all our associates on emerging technology. Now I work from home as a consultant so I can be with my 2 young kids.
Together with all my experiences and knowledge, I really do feel I can offer some insight into the sometimes confusing world of cell phone plans and government programs. That is why I created this website.
There are hundreds if not thousands of government assistance programs out there and I discover new ones all the time. The problem is trying to find out about programs that can help you with your particular situation (in most instances, you may not even know they exist), how they can help you, what you need to do, where to apply, etc. My hope is that you are able to find everything you need about free cell phone plans, what it takes to qualify, how to get them, and answers to any other related questions.
We do not receive any compensation from any of the cell phone providers for referring business to them or for providing this information. We do have a couple ads on some of our pages so that we can cover our operational expenses, but none that are distracting or annoying- and definitely no pop-ups. If you want to help me keep this site going, just click on those ads. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime with any questions and I will do my best to answer them.
Lifeline is a government-supported program that provides free mobile phone service to qualified people. If you qualify for the Lifeline Program, you will receive a free mobile phone, a specified amount of free wireless service, and unlimited access to customer service and 911.
