IN CALIFORNIA: Free Unlimited Talk and Text!
Blue Jay Wireless is now serving free government cell phone customers in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Wisconsin. If you live in one of those states, Blue Jay may be the Lifeline Assistance company for you.
The company offers a variety of plans ranging from 125 minutes per month for free to 500 minutes for $5.00. Five dollars may not be free, but it certainly can’t be called anything but extremely affordable for most folks, even the neediest among us.
Here’s a summary of Blue Jay Wireless plans:
Blue Jay Wireless California Plans
Free – Unlimited talk, unlimited text
$25/month – Unlimited talk, unlimited text, PLUS 5 GB data
Plans in Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin
Free – 500 minutes, unlimited texts
Free – 250 minutes, unlimited texts, 500 MB data
$3.50/month – 500 minutes, unlimited texts, 500Mb data
Plans in Kentucky, Puerto Rico
Free – 500 minutes, unlimited texts
Free – 500 minutes, unlimited texts, 500 MB data
* Why are there two free plans in Kentucky and Puerto Rico, with one obviously better? We don’t know, but that’s what they listed on their website.
They also offer a couple attractive tribal plans, so if you live on Native American tribal lands in any of the states served by Blue Jay, check out those options, too.

Jen Kat says
Why does Blue Jay Wireless ask for credit card information just to sign up for lifeline services?
Don’t have a credit card and can’t skip
Free Government Cell Phones says
Good question, Jen. The only thing we can imagine is that they want it in their system in case you should purchase additional minutes, texts or data in the future.

Wanda Johnson says
I am a social worker assisting seniors in a HUD subsidized apartment complex that need someone to come and talk about this program, sign them up, and assist with getting the phone activated. They do not want smart phones, they want a flip phone with 500 minutes. Most don’t even want texting ability. I have 11 people who would sign up today, IF we could get someone to the building to discuss this program and assist with signing up & activation. We are in the Colorado Springs, CO area. Can you suggest a company I contact?

I lost my bluejay wireless free phone…how do u get a replacement?
Free Government Cell Phones says
Here’s an article that answers your question, Alberta.
https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net/faq/i-lost-my-phone-how-do-i-get-a-replacement
April Mar says
I heard rumors that there will no longer be free Government phones once Obama is not in office. Is this true?
Free Government Cell Phones says
A lot of people are needlessly worried about that, April. Don’t worry. The program is so popular with so many needy Americans that killing it would probably be political suicide.
Bob King says
Has anybody ever gotten a used phone? I did. After opening the package. I noticed the box the phone came in was beat up. Then I noticed there were scratches on the phone that showed it was used cell Phone. Plus the phone had trouble charging coming to a full charge. Also the power cord came from another phone. And also look beat up. Plus no book to show me how to operate the phone.
Free Government Cell Phones says
Two things, Bob. First, EVERY free government cell phone is used. They’ve all be “refurbished,” but as Mercedes-Benz says, “They’re pre-owned.” That’s the only way any Lifeline company can afford to give these products away for free.
Second, virtually no cell phone comes with a user manual anymore. Same with most electronic products of all kinds. For example, I’m writing this on an Apple iPad and it did not come with a user manual. That’s because all user manuals can now be found online. Just Google the make and model of your phone plus the words “user manual” and you’ll easily find what you need.
tami says
I work at Molokai Community Health Center and we are looking for a hard copy application that clients can fill out and we can help them send. A lot of our clients only have a PO BOX, which makes for another issue on being able to receive a phone. Please contact me for further details in how to help our community obtain a free phone as there is such a huge need on our island.
Aloha,
Tami
808-660-****
Free Government Cell Phones says
Unfortunately, Tammy, your clients will not be eligible unless they have a physical address. PO Boxes will disqualify them. In case it’s applicable, here’s an article about group homes:
https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net/free-phones-for-the-homeless
Daryl says
Hi Tami,
Thanks for all you are trying to do. I have a Blue jay phone which I brought over from Oahu and the battery has just failed. I’m trying to sort things out but if you do not use the phone for one month then they will cancel and at this point I know of no one who services the Island of Molokai. Keep up the good work and hopefully we’ll find a way to work things out….
Aloha
Daryl

Delia says
What kind of phone is it
Free Government Cell Phones says
One never knows, Delia. Each company has numerous phone brands and they are handed out randomly.
eric mcclain says
I call for my service to be cut off last week but it’s still on and I want it off
Free Government Cell Phones says
Call customer service or contact them via email on the Blue Jay website.
Darryl Prudholmedarryl says
my phone is lost are stolen. cut it off asap. someone has it. 909-314-**** last four ss#****. address is 1804 magnolia ave, sanbernardino ca. 92411. cut it off. I’m with another company.
Now I have told customer service to cut it off. so please do it now or I’m gonna report your company.
Free Government Cell Phones says
You have several problems here, Darryl. First of all, here’s an article that will tell you what you should have done about your lost or stolen phone:
https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net/faq/i-lost-my-phone-how-do-i-get-a-replacement
You should have enrolled with the new company, which would have completed all the paperwork necessary to cancel your contract with the original Lifeline company. It doesn’t sound like that’s what happened, though. In order to fight fraud and abuse, every Lifeline customer is listed on a national database, so you run the very real risk of being cancelled by your second company if your name pops up on that database.
Finally, leaving a comment here at FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net will not accomplish getting your Blue Jay account cut off. This is an independent website with zero affiliation with Blue Jay or any other Lifeline company. You need to contact Safelink’s customer service team directly by phone or online.
Nestor Berrios Flores says
when i will receive my b-Blue Jay cell phone
FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net says
It can take up to several weeks. Each company is different, so we don’t have a better answer, sorry.
Isabel Diaz says
hi, my name isabel diaz. i apply for blue jay goverment phone last week. And i gave you guys my information my id and medical. my address is **************** Ca 92243. my last four digits is **** and birthday is ****.
Free Government Cell Phones says
First of all, Isabel, we took the liberty of editing out all your personal information. A word of advice: This is a public website, so you should never leave personal info like that on any website because it can be used by criminals to steal your identity.
Now in answer to your question, you need to contact Blue Jay to find the status of your application. But we can tell you for sure that a one week wait is insufficient. Most companies say it will take 2-3 weeks to deliver their phones and our readers often say many company take even longer. We know that Blue Jay tries to ship its phones on the same day the order is processed, but the emphasis is on the words “try.”
Natalie Medina says

Very poor site Blue Jay to knowing your coverage area and who’s network you actually use to deliver your Lifeline service on.
Some people do live on borders of Networks providers towers coverage there of and dead zones within good coverage area.
FAQ’s – really is no help but to pat yourself on the back.
More tuned to a Blog articles news than FAQ. I shouldn’t
have to make contact with you to know this basic related information, that is covered on other Lifeline providers sites.
I take all of this a Lifeline user beware, how you take it will
I hope be reflect of your site.
That’s my 2cents…
Steve
Steve says
PS: Blue Jay,
Many times, Samaritans will be military veterans.
Q.- why not offer a BONUS to Veterans-active Military
who meet the Lifeline requirements?
For customers who want more than the basic phone, upgraded phones are available.
Q. – Again no information is offered to a future Lifeline applicant shopping around to consider yourself as their go to Lifeline service provider.
Desired is how many handsets are actually (if not shown), are smartphones in the mix, then a min. to max. price range one can expect.
Q. – Besides your offering the Free Lifeline Plans of 125/250, Blue Jay has charge plans of –
$26.00 Lifeline Unlimited Voice and Text
$30.75 Lifeline Unlimited Voice and Text w/ 500 MB Data
$40.00 Lifeline Unlimited Voice and Text w/ 5 GB Data
Desired is to be known if the reflected price shown is before or after the FCC/USAC discount ! Again site could be more helpful in full (TRANSPARENCY) and not lead to more questions asked.

Hi i just recently got a Bluejay phone on Thursday 3 days ago. and at first the screen got Blocked was not letting me do anything the screen got blocked only recieved calls thru bluethooth. And now its not working at all it wont ring at all. Please advised
Free Government Cell Phones says
Sorry to hear about your problems, Matty. Blue Jay is one of our favorite Lifeline Assistance companies and we know that they monitor our site and often respond to our readers questions and concerns. Let’s see what they have to say.
Pedro Valentin says
I have a life wireless goverment with blue jay wireless, I still have minutes but cannot make calls. It said on the web”Carrier Status Message: Update attempt failed: Carrier Message: Scheduled Outage”. what does that mean.
Free Government Cell Phones says
We can’t speak for Blue Jay Wireless, Pedro, but it sounds as if it’s just a temporary situation that will be resolved when Blue Jay has finished updating its system. If it persists, please contact Blue Jay’s customer service team.
Díaz says

No hablamos español, Diaz.
Brenda says
Hes saying the sim card doesnt work since he got his phone.
Free Government Cell Phones says
Feel free to translate this answer, Brenda. Tell him that he should contact the Access customer service team. Many people have told us that it’s impossible to get a live person on the phone, so he should probably contact them by email or, if possible, in a live online chat.
BRENDA says
Dice que tiene q contactar servicio al cliente. Que mucha gente a dicho que es muy dificil agarrar a un operador en linea asi es que puede tratar por correo electronico o chatear con ellos en vivo.
Free Government Cell Phones says
Thanks, Brenda. Or perhaps we should say “Muchas gracias.” (That’s about the limit of our Spanish.)
BRENDA says
You’re welcome my pleasure. 🙂
Nicci says

Free Government Cell Phones says
Blue Jay’s website does not reveal what kind of phones it offers, Nicci, but we know that Blue Jay monitors our comment section, so let’s see if one of the company’s reps can answer your question.

I don’t want your service, you all didn’t do what was promised, you all said you’d send me a phone, I could see and work. I finally got a smart phone, but it’s so small. I told the representative, I had really bad eyes, you all sent me the smallest smart phone you have. I’m no longer enstrested in your service. Sorry, I’m not a better, I’m not calling you all anymore, you promised something and didn’t deliver I no longer am interest, cancel my application or service
Betty says
I have a bluejay phone but it will not pick up unless I get in car drive down road and battery won’t stay charged over 2 hours even not been used. If I need help this phone would not do much good .Blue Grass is all that pickes up in Summer Shade Ky. The lady in Glasgow one day from bluejay said I could get a up date and bigger phone for $20.00. Would that pick up better .Thank You
Free Government Cell Phones says
Let’s see if our friends at Blue Jay would like to respond to this one.
Mae crosby says
I licked myself out if the phone, I don’t know what j did to it but I guess I picked the pattern on the password I have no blues how to undo it
Free Government Cell Phones says
You are the first person to ever tell us that they licked themselves out of their cell phone. How did it taste?
On a serious note, let’s see if our friends at Blue Jay have an answer for this one.
John Renne says
I applied for the phone but will it be mailed to me and how long before I receive my phone?
Free Government Cell Phones says
Once again, we’ll defer to the experts at Blue Jay who do a great job answering our readers’ questions.
Linda says
How do you know if you getting a phone or not if you already applied for one
Marilyn says
Deaf persons usually qualify for free govt. phones, but the standard cell phones issued do not have the technical requirements for “captioning” conversation. However, many smartphones, like the iPhone G4 and above, have that capability. My question is, do you offer a phone upgrade (for a fee) so those who need caption technology can have access to BOTH a free govt. phone AND caption technology?
Free Government Cell Phones says
We know the folks at Blue Jay do a great job monitoring our reader comments, so we’ll stand back and let them answer your question.
Daniel Stark says
Marilyn – we do offer upgraded phones with many more capabilities, many of which are designed for someone just like you. Go ahead and call (855) 425-8529 or email service@bluejaywireless.com. Alternatively, we are working at a “bring your own device” feature on our website which will allow you to pick your own device and receive service on it if you don’t find a device we offer to your liking.
Dean Schmerbauch says
I have a blue jay phone that was deactivated. How can I get it activated once again? I live in Hawaii.

Why was it deactivated? Did you violate the Terms & Conditions? Or did it go unused for 60 days? Or some other reason that you are aware of?

Tommi Kieryn says
I definitely recommend this service. I had them like a year ago and I’m getting my new Blue Jay phone next week. The call reception is awesome send text messages receive and send fast, even though they might send you a sucky phone, any phone with T Mobile will work if you were to insert a Blue Jay SIM card. I got the Samsung Keystone 2 last time I had them but this time I’m getting the Unnecto Primo I’m pretty sure. If I get the Unnecto Primo I have already unlocked a Samsung a737 so I will use that instead. Because if you get what I mean the Unnecto Primo sucks.
Maryann fonville says
How do you know when you are going to get your new phone?
Free Government Cell Phones says
Most companies say it will take approximately two weeks, but our readers’ real world experience says it usually takes longer. Every Lifeline company is different, though, and we do not intend to speak for our friends at Blue Jay.

I am currently using Assist Wireless, but would like to leave them, since they continually play games with my data. I’m supposed to get 250 MB of data per month, but never do, and since I got this Plum phone from them, I’ve NEVER been able to connect with the internet. Their customer service reps are experts at talking their way around whatever concerns you raise when you call them, but you never get a truly satisfactory answer. However, after scrutinizing this website, I don’t see any mention of a Bluejay plan that includes any data. Do you have any Lifeline plans with data included?
jj says
I have no phone service right now I live in hawaii on trible land and all of a sudden I am being charged an extra 1.41 on my 1.00 bill when I asked why a sarcastic customer service rep. Said its my countries taxs and hung up on me this one rep. Is sending very suspicions signals they are from the philapeens office. They have been making it hell on me to use my phone they change my address so that im not in tribal land and make me go through all kinds of documents to varafie that I do live on homelands and cut my sevice off and make it so I cant use the payment service side witch means I would have to give my credit card # to them and I refuse to do that to people that are laughing and refuse to let me speak with a supervisor and keep hanging up on me for asking questions they dont want to answer. Someone needs to find out whats going on in that office I think they maybe skimming money from peoples accounts. Just because we get the service at low cost dosent entitle those people to make us feel as though were stealing it. Maybe if they gave the americans the phone jobs people could afford a phone bill!!! Whats up with that anyways? Does the president know other people in different countries are taking those jobs and why they are?? Need phone service I am missing doctors appt.because of this mess its setting me back in my mental progress please help

Robert Gersaba says
I use my phone once and call lasted tops 4 minute. Four days later my phone reads only emergency use only calls. I know I didn’t use 250 minutes given to me via phone rep. Now my phone is out of order, it only has flashlight mode unable to take it off. What now? I am in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Yours truly;
Robert Gersaba

kylee warner says
Long story short my ex stole my phone I got a new one but don’t want him using my bluejay phone. How do I shut off my old phone ?
FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net says
You call Blue Jay and tell them to cancel it. If you don’t, if the government’s anti-fraud program catches it, you will get a letter in the mail soon asking to to tell them which of your two phones you want to keep — yours of course.
Mark Davis says
I still cannot figure out where to get the actual cell phone. I am on SSDI and need to cut my expenses but do not know how to get the phone and what the choices are. All the info is about minutes per month which I don’t care about. I am only interested in how to get the phone and which ones can I get.
FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net says
It’s very simple, as it says in the article above. Call the company or contact them on their website. If you want someone besides Blue Jay Wireless, click on our States page and select another vendor.

Eric says
I received my phone from a temporary booth/station/promotional setup thing outside of a local welfare office here in Las Vegas. Can you tell me where and when I could find something like that again? My girlfriend would qualify and greatly benefit from a lifeline phone, but her internet skills aren’t great, and it was so easy that I’d like to be able to give her a time and place to get set up, the way I did.

jose r. rivera lopez says
My phone was stolen quite a few months back, phone number, 787-385-**** and whomever had it kept calling my contacts and talking nonsense to them. I called your company to cancel it, which they did supposedly because my contacts stopped receiving silly calls. However they told me that i could pay $20.00 to get another phone or wait 3 months and reapply. I chose the latter because i am on a fixed income and really can’t spare the $20.00, but when I go to apply for another phone they keep telling me that I already have an account. I call your company again and they say they don’t find that number and to send you an e-mail so here it is.
FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net says
You’d need to email Blue Jay.

Rosa says
My mother has not been participating in any of the government free cell phone programs since December 2013, but cannot enroll currently with any of them because there are claims that she needs her social released. I’ve tried with Safe link and Lifeline and neither of them confirm her participation. This could possibly be an identity theft, but how do I proceed? Her only income is food stamps and TANF since she did not accumulate the amount of credits to benefit from social security. Please advise. Thanks.

jeri says
hi there.
my friend has Budget Mobile. she likes it, but their FaceBook site has negative comments. some other site i was on had a TON of disgruntled customers.
i had Blue Jay Wireless, good website. customer service is in the Phillipines, they were just ok. i actually got a refund. they said that the free phone people were not entitled to internet access, but i think that was wrong info and a long time ago.
Blue Jay had a huge campaign up here in Waianae. it was cheaper bc i believe it falls under tribal and therefore discounted, free or $5.
sorry im so vague, it’s been over a year. i am just not starting to look around again.
you can search freegovernmentcellphones.net to start and obama either phones or free phones.
good luck.

It says that Blue Jay Wireless services Texas; however each plan says that it is not available in Texas. So do they really service Texas? If so, what plan is available in Texas?
Free Government Cell Phones says
Their website says they serve Texas. Texas is on the map on the home page. And there is an application for Texas on their site: http://www.bluejaywireless.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/TX_Lifeline_App_080814_English1.pdf (link now broken)
Here are a dozen other companies that serve Texas:

Veronica Vega Alequin says
I would like to get one of these cellphones but, i want to be able choose the model i want is it possible?
Free Government Cell Phones says
No, you cannot choose. In order to be able to provide service for the low reimbursement they receive from the government, they buy up phones in bulk, as cheap as they can. So whatever they have at the moment is what you get.
