Assurance Wireless is a telephone service subsidized by the federal Lifeline Assistance program, a government benefit program supported by the federal Universal Service Fund. The service provides to low-income eligible people a free phone,[1][2] free monthly data, unlimited texting, and free monthly minutes. Assurance Wireless users do not receive a bill, are not required to sign a contract, and do not pay activation fees or recurring fees.[3] Founded in 2009, Assurance Wireless has used the T-Mobile network for coverage since 2020.[4]
According to Hotspot Setup, "the two largest providers of free mobile phones are Safelink Wireless and Assurance Wireless, which are available in more states than other providers."[5] Assurance Wireless users may bring their own unlocked device – they are not required to use an Assurance issued wireless phone.[6] If a $59.99 replacement phone is purchased from Assurance, the user will have a limited choice of model.
