Get a Free Phone & 250-500 minutes, plus unlimited texting.
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.

      How long ago did you pay them, Orsborn? Blue Jay has not participated in the Lifeline free government cell phone program for several months now. It certainly sounds as if you deserve to get all your money refunded. As far as we can tell, the company’s old website is dead and it has changed it’s name to Trackums. Here is Trackums’ contact info. Good luck.

    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?

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.

      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.

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.

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.

          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.

      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.”

          Blue Jay’s a great free government cell phone company, Asia. You don’t say how long ago you communicated with its representative, but we’re confident it will arrive soon. It usually takes more than two weeks.

      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…

        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.

    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?

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.

    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?

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??

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.
