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

Plans in Kentucky, Puerto Rico

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.

May 21, 2018 at 7:18 pmThey charged me $50 for a phone,then said they didn’t have it.Still haven’t got my money back though,and now they won’t answer the phone.611 doesn’t work anymore.Web site is gone.whats up?
Free Government Cell Phones says
May 21, 2018 at 9:10 pmHow 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.

August 19, 2017 at 10:34 amWhy 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
August 19, 2017 at 1:00 pmGood 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.

February 8, 2017 at 11:49 amI 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.

https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net/faq/i-lost-my-phone-how-do-i-get-a-replacement
April Mar says
October 23, 2016 at 10:47 amI 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
October 23, 2016 at 12:37 pmA 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
October 22, 2016 at 10:46 pmHas 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
October 23, 2016 at 4:03 amTwo 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
September 21, 2016 at 11:00 amI 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

Free Government Cell Phones says
September 21, 2016 at 12:20 pmUnfortunately, 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:

Daryl says
October 12, 2016 at 11:02 pmHi 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

August 9, 2016 at 10:05 pmmy 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
August 10, 2016 at 2:21 amYou 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.

Free Government Cell Phones says
August 1, 2016 at 6:52 pmFirst 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.”

August 28, 2016 at 9:57 pmVery 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
August 28, 2016 at 10:32 pmPS: 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.

May 2, 2016 at 4:45 pmI 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

May 2, 2016 at 5:46 pmLet’s see if our friends at Blue Jay would like to respond to this one.
Mae crosby says
April 19, 2016 at 5:09 pmI 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
April 19, 2016 at 8:12 pmYou 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
April 17, 2016 at 6:04 amI applied for the phone but will it be mailed to me and how long before I receive my phone?
Free Government Cell Phones says
April 17, 2016 at 8:21 amOnce again, we’ll defer to the experts at Blue Jay who do a great job answering our readers’ questions.
Linda says
April 17, 2016 at 6:26 pmHow do you know if you getting a phone or not if you already applied for one
Marilyn says
April 10, 2016 at 2:47 pmDeaf 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
April 10, 2016 at 3:28 pmWe 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
April 13, 2016 at 7:27 amMarilyn – 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.

April 4, 2016 at 6:30 amWhy 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
December 9, 2015 at 3:47 pmI 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
June 27, 2016 at 2:49 pmHow do you know when you are going to get your new phone?
Free Government Cell Phones says
June 27, 2016 at 6:22 pmMost 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.

Bruce Rea says
November 10, 2015 at 7:22 pmI 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
October 23, 2015 at 5:55 pmI 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

FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net says
July 13, 2015 at 8:23 amYou 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
June 13, 2015 at 11:25 amI 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
June 14, 2015 at 9:10 amIt’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.

March 30, 2015 at 5:46 pmMy 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.

January 13, 2015 at 5:45 pmMy 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
May 6, 2015 at 4:57 amhi 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.

October 13, 2014 at 12:54 amIt 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
October 13, 2014 at 7:35 pmTheir 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:

Free Government Cell Phones says
October 7, 2014 at 4:14 pmNo, 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.
