Alert: If you have an Assurance Wireless phone in California, they have just upgraded your phone to unlimited minutes so you have no need to purchase extra minutes. Read more about the Assurance Wireless unlimited talk and text plan.
Assurance Wireless offer 250 minutes (current special of 500 minutes) and unlimited texts on on plans outside of California (where talk and text is unlimited). What do you do if you run out of minutes before the end of the month on your Assurance Wireless phone?
In addition to offering its customers a free cell phone, Assurance Wireless also offers its Lifeline customers 250-500 minutes of airtime and unlimited texting each month.
Generous as that is, there are going to be times when that’s just not enough, times when you run out of minutes but still need to make important phone calls.
Luckily, there are several ways around this problem. Think of this as FreeGovernmentCellPhone.net’s handy guide to help you navigate your way to more minutes when you need them.
Want to add more minutes or data to your plan? There are two ways to do it.
Solution #1: Paying ten cents per extra minute
It’s a fact of life: After your monthly 250 minutes have been used, you won’t be able to receive incoming calls and the only outgoing calls you can make will be to 911 and Assurance Wireless customer support. But if you have money in your account, you can pay 10 cents per minute over your maximum minute allowance.
Solution #2: Upgrading your free Assurance Wireless plan
We strongly recommend that you consider taking advantage of Assurance Wireless’ extra minutes plan. You can substantially increase your monthly airtime even if you’re on a tight budget. As you will see, Assurance Wireless offers you lots of options. Here are the specifics:
Three offers from which to choose
$5 TalkOffer – Add $5 each month to get an additional 250 voice minutes (that’s 250-500 FREE minutes). This offer does not allow rollover minutes. Whatever monthly minutes you don’t use will be lost at the end of the month.
$30 Unlimited Talk, Text, & Web Offer – Add $30 each month to add unlimited voice minutes and unlimited data. No reason to worry about rollover minutes on this plan, because you get unlimited minutes, texts and data as long as you’re on the plan.
These plans include a guarantee of 250-500 Free Minutes each month as long as you remain eligible, even if you cannot pay for your plan in a specific month.
If you use all of your monthly voice minutes on the $5 plan before a new monthly cycle starts and you have a sufficient balance in your account, you will be charged 10¢ for each additional minute you use.
What’s more, you don’t have to make a long term commitment to either plan. You can upgrade to either of these two plans for a single month if need be. Assurance will automatically revert you to the free 250-500 minute plan if you leave your account at a zero balance and not have the money in the account to continue on the upgraded program.
Assurance makes it easy to Top-Up your account
In addition to giving you a choice of plans, Assurance Wireless also gives you a choice of ways to pay for those plans.
You can add money and change plans on their website. You can add money and change plans directly from your Assurance Wireless free government cell phone. You can add money and change plans through Assurance’s automated phone service. Or you can buy a Virgin Mobile Top-Up card at thousands of retail stores across the country.
And to make it as simple as possible, you can pay for the extra minutes, texts or data with your credit card, debit card or via PayPal.
Here are the specifics on each method of topping up:
1. Add money and change plans from the Assurance Wireless website.
Go to AssuranceWireless.com and click on “Log In.” It will take you directly to the Virgin Wireless, where you can log in by entering your Assurance Wireless phone number and account PIN. This will take you to the My Account page. There you can enter your payment method or Top-Up card PIN, and perhaps choose either the $5 Talk or $30 Unlimited Offer offer by selecting “Change Offers.” Or choose neither and you will be charged 10¢ for every extra minute over your 250-500 free minutes as long as you have money in your account.
You may choose to purchase the plan immediately, or at the beginning of your next cycle. Customers that have already purchased a plan for the month will only have the option to purchase at the beginning of their next cycle.
2. Add money and change plans right from your Assurance Wireless free government cell phone
To add money to your account press the OK Key to see the Menu. Then Press the 2 Key to get to My Account and then press the 1 Key to get to Top-Up. At that point, enter your Top-Up card’s PIN number and press OK Key.
To change your plan, access your account by hitting the ‘Up’ arrow. Your current offer and the minutes you have used this month will be displayed on the screen. Hit the ‘Down’ arrow until you can see the ‘Other Offers’ section. You will see three offers:
– $5 Talk & Text for 500 voice minutes
– $30 Unlimited Talk, Text & Web for Unlimited voice minutes, texts, and web
Move your arrow over the offer you want (the link will turn yellow) and hit the ‘Select’ button. You may choose to purchase the plan immediately, or at the beginning of your next cycle. Customers that have already purchased a plan for the month will only have the option to purchase at the beginning of their next cycle.
3. Add money and change plans through Assurance’s automated phone service
Use your Assurance Wireless phone to call Assurance’s automated phone line at 1-888-321-5880.
To add money to your account, choose the “Top-up” prompt. You will be presented with various options to add money to your account.
To purchase additional minutes or messages, choose the “Change your plan” prompt. You will be presented with various add-on options that include:
– $5 Talk & Text for 500 voice minutes
– $30 Unlimited Talk, Text & Web for Unlimited voice minutes, texts, and web
If you decide to purchase one of these plans, they will not be added to your account until the start of your next monthly cycle.
Please be aware that Assurance may require a minimum Top-Up of $10 per purchase.
4. Buy Virgin Mobile Top-Up cards from retailers across the country.
If you’re out and about, there are literally thousands of places to purchase Virgin Mobile Top-Up cards. To be specific, you can find them at Best Buy, RadioShack, WalMart, Target or Virgin Mobile, K-Mart, Walgreen’s store or thousands of other independent retailers. And to make it even easier, you can pay for them with your credit card, debit card or even PayPal.
The bottom line
Sometimes it’s easy to blow through 250 free minutes and 250 free texts in a month. It’s amazing how quickly they can get gobbled up.
Rest assured that 250 free minutes and 250 free texts per month is just the beginning for Assurance Wireless customers. The company offers its Lifeline customers a wide variety of ways to get more from their free government cell phones.
And that’s good news for you.
Rose says
My number is 773540 ****. I would to change from Virgin to assirance wireless. Thank you. Rose Avorio i have been approved for lifeline
Free Government Cell Phones says
Virgin does not offer a Lifeline plan, so you need to enroll in one of the Assurance plans. In other words, it’s not a “switch.” Just contact Assurance customer service and they can talk you through enrollment.
brennaris johnson says
i was told by the service provder of my assureance wireless phone that i could come to a local libairy or dshs office to recieve more minutrs . but tjhis is not true why?
Free Government Cell Phones says
We have no idea why anyone would tell you that you can get more minutes at your local library. Makes no sense. Check your service provider’s website to see if you can get more minutes online. If not, contact your service provider’s customer service team.
Cleone Cannon says
You used to have 750 talk and unlimited text, why did you change that?
Free Government Cell Phones says
We didn’t change anything because we are not Assurance. You’ll need to ask that company why any changes were made.
Virginia ellis says
When does the monthly min flip over? In other words, what date do I get new min data and texts with assurance wireless?
Free Government Cell Phones says
It should occur on the same day every month — the same day that you enrolled.
Barbara Schwartz says
Do your plans include internet service
Free Government Cell Phones says
All Lifeline companies are required to offer plans that include data. You won’t get much data, and in most cases it will reduce the number of minutes/texts you get for free, but it is free.
Donald D Kiene II says
I had a phone threw you guys and you took my minutes away from me how do i get my free minutes back I had it all the way up until today 8/12/19

We didn’t take anything, Donald. We are not your service provider. This is an independent informational website.

No quite sure what you’re asking, Barbara. Are you asking if you can keep your phone if you switch from Assistance to Assurance?

michele Graham says
Good morning how can I get bigger phone with bigger number having problem with my eyes seeing number to dial out, can you please help me. Michele Graham, have a bless day.
Free Government Cell Phones says
Two options. Check your service provider’s website to see which makes and models they offer as upgrades. Second, ask your service provider if they offer a BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone) program. If so, you can go out and purchase whatever compatible make and model you want. But DO NOT buy any phone until you verify that it is compatible with your service provider’s network.
Sandra Mitchell says
Hello Assurance Wireless. I have one of your phones and have had it for years. I can not seem to find a retailer where I can put money on my phone to buy additional minutes, etc. I live in East Orange New Jersey, 07017 are code. Please provide me with information so I can continue to add minutes to my phone.
Thanks,
Sandra
Free Government Cell Phones says
Sorry, Sandra, but this isn’t Assurance. It’s an independent informational website. You need to contact Assurance customer service.
Cleone Cannon says
To answer Sandra, contact your Assurance Wireless customer service 611 and you will be able to pay $5.00 for 250 talk minutes. But is doesn’t transfer over to your account once your new minutes are added to your account. I do this all the time right now because right now I need more minutes than usual and my server is Assurance Wireless. Good luck to find someone who has the knowledge to do this for you.
wes wilson says
Why are they charging me $6.30 to put $5.00 on my account? NYS tax is %8.

We’re not your service provider, Wes, so we cannot tell you. Contact your service provider’s customer service team by calling 6-1-1 on your free government cell phone to get the answer.

Lacey Prewitt says
I recently moved to a different address, and my phone was misplaced. I applied for another phone thru Safe Link. I faxed all the pertinent information to Safe Link, from a ups store on September 9, 2017. It was verified that they had received the information. My question is, “how long does it take for Safe Link to issue a phone.” Will I get the phone in the mail?, will i be contacted to go to any vendor. How, and when, will i be contacted. Will I be notified thru email, postal mail. I cannot find a local address for any of Safe Link’s stores, unless they use the regular existing vendor stores. Will somebody please oblige. Thank you
Free Government Cell Phones says
Safelink has no stores, Lacey. You will receive your phone in the mail. How long? That’s always a good question. Most free government cell phone companies say it will take about two weeks. But our readers tell us it takes three or four weeks or even longer. If you have enrolled with Safelink you can go to its website, click on “Account” and then click on “Check Your Status” to find out where you stand.
Amy Joyce says
Can i add just more data to my phone?
Free Government Cell Phones says
You don’t mention which company you are enrolled with, Amy, but check its website. Most of the companies offer plans that allow you to add more data for some minimal charge.
Trisha H says
Why can’t we still make 800 # calls when we run out of minutes? They are toll free #’s, & in order to check our snap & cash benefits on the 800 phone #, we need to be able to call the #. We can’t do this if we run out of minutes. I get my benefits on the 9th & my minutes on the 10th, so quite often I run out of minutes right between the 7th & 10th the same time I get my benefits. Could someone investigate this & maybe look into maybe finding out if there could be any possibility of allowing 800 #’s to be called or perhaps certain important #’s? Just a thought because I’ve picked up my phone twice in the last 2 hours to check & see if my cash & fs benefits were put on my card to no avail, because I’m out of minutes. I feel that we should be allowed to get this information at any time. Could someone please get back to me at their earliest convenience. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Ali says
I don’t know my pin and in order for me to add airtime or buy airtime I need to enter a pin- how do I get or find out what my pin is?????
Free Government Cell Phones says
Contact your service provider’s customer service team.
Trisha H says
The pin to add airtime is usually on the back of an airtime card that u purchase & scratch off to add the minutes to your phone so u can keep using it.
Gayla Bruzewski says
I have had an assurance phone since 2013. I am suppose to get unlimited texts, and 500 minutes a month and no MB well all of a sudden and without notice it changes to 350 minutes, unlimited texts and 500 MB a month why is that? I do not use the 500 MB at all so why can’t I have my unlimited texts and 500 minutes a month back and why did it change without warning I want my other plan back please!
Free Government Cell Phones says
The rules governing what must be included in Lifeline plans changed back in December, 2016. That may explain why your plan changed, but that’s just a guess on our part. We’d suggest contacting customer service to get your questions answered.
Susan Houseman says
My friend is in the hospital. The medication she is on makes it difficult to remember tasks, instructions, etc. Is there any way to add minutes to her phone? She cannot remember her passcode.
Free Government Cell Phones says
You didn’t mention which free government cell phone company you are with, Susan, but you should check its website. Most of them offer additional minutes. If yours doesn’t, here’s an article that tells you how to purchase additional minutes at thousands of stores:

paul farinella says
How do you convert money added to your account (Top Up) into minutes. It’s easy to $5 to my account either via the internet or customer, but there is no way to convert $5 into 250 minutes as advertised. No prompt on line, nothing on the internet (in fact it’s blocked out). I know customer service can convert money into minutes, but what do you do when they are closed?
Free Government Cell Phones says
You wait until they’re open.
Rachelle says
I have a friend that’s in another town. I know he had a balance of 11 so.ethimg dollars I can’t text him to explain how to add time. Is there any way to do it for him. Without all his info
Free Government Cell Phones says
You can tell him to read the above article or you can go to his service provider’s website to see if it has a “buy minutes” offer. Most of the companies do.
wiley emmert says
I paid assurance wireless 10.00 plus tax last night for more text and data on my free phone that i do not have to pay for how come i now have no text, data, in order to get a web page on my phone? Call me at 1 415 595 **** tomorrow. your advertisement said it would take 15 minutes! You have not even posted a thank you to my gmail.I have paid for internet from ATandT, What is going on?
Free Government Cell Phones says
We’re not Assurance, Wiley. We’re an independent informational website. That means you need to contact Assurance customer service to solve your problem.
Margaret Oberhaus says
I finally found out that if I run out of phone minutes and have cash in my account that I have to call Assurance Wireless to have them convert the money into available minutes. My minutes will renew to the monthly amount on the 10th of each month (others on their renewal date depending upon their plans), but the minutes that I had converted will not roll over, but be deleted on the renewal date each month.
This means that if I have $5.00 cash in my account before the 10th of each month, I need to call Assurance Wireless and have them convert the cash into 250 minutes. On the 10th of the month, the balance of the 250 will be deleted and 500 minutes will be added to my phone minutes on that date. If I do not have the cash converted, I will pay 10 cents per minute until the 10th of the month when 500 minutes will be put on my account according to my plan.
This is my understanding of how my plan works. If I am wrong, please reply with the correct information. Thank you.
Free Government Cell Phones says
We cannot give you an informed answer regarding Assurance’s business practices, Margaret. You’ll need to confirm your theory with Assurance customer service. Call 6-1-1 on your free government cell phone.
Justin says
how do you find out what day is my renewal day each month?
Free Government Cell Phones says
It’s the same day every month. For example, if you enrolled on the 4th of the month, you’ll get your minutes on the 4th each month.
Jennifer says

Call 6-1-1 on your free government cell phone, Jennifer. That will connect you to customer service and they can help you.

how do i get my free minutes on my phone its off
Free Government Cell Phones says
Could it be that your phone is broken? Did you do your annual re-certification? Contact your service provider’s customer service team to find out what the problem is and if you need a replacement phone.
Carlos Rangel says
My line got disconnected because I failed to report at the end of the month. Can I reactivate my line or purchase minutes to keep it activated?
Free Government Cell Phones says
If you failed to recertify that you are eligible, your account has probably been cancelled. You can’t re-activate your old account, but you can open a new one. Consider this your opportunity to get an even better plan. Check out all the plans offered in your state at this link:
https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net/states
Check each one of them out carefully to find the plan that offers you the most minutes, most texts, most data, best smartphone, etc.

how do I purchase minutes online with debit card.
Free Government Cell Phones says
We assume (big assumption on our part) that you do it on the Assurance website. However, there’s no visible link to “buy more minutes,” so try clicking on the “Account Log-In” button at the top of the homepage and see if it gives you the choice of purchasing more minutes. Good luck, Susie.

Im curious. My goverment issued handheld devise isnt worth $30 bucks a month in my opinion although im a frequent web user and have a non serviceable iphone just to connect to hotspots at my local library and coffee shop.
Something tells me there are $30 bucks a month plans elsewhere with a different providor that would result in me sporting a more suitable phone. Am i on the right track here , or 30 bucks a month is as best as i’ll get?
I also am fully aware i can use the lifeline provided hotspot as well.
Thanks in advance,

Sounds like you’re far more interested in cheap Internet than a free government cell phone, Christopher. In that case you should check out our other website:

My Phone no is 717-779-**** I am trying to find out if I am able to get a phone with the “QWERTY” Key Board. I have severe arthritis in my hands and that would save a lot of stress on my hands when I text.
The only way I want to speak with someone is if a person that speaks clear english and can actually help me. I’ve called in the past and no one was able to help, thus the correspondence now.
I was told by one person (in your employ) that I could get a phone with that keyboard but the one they sent was identical to the one that I already have. I offered return it but they didn’t want me to send it back.

I am participating in your free food stamp awarded phone and I receive 250 minutes every month. Thats not the problem,every time I add thru a top up card , there is some represenative that practices something new. I have used the top up card before,and I had maybe 50 minutes left on the phone as a balance,and when I called into the office thru a top up card,the rep added the top up card 250 minutes along with the additional 50 minutes that I originially had on my account, and then sometimes they dont add the minutes and there is always the issue of me calling the office back to see what is the matter. As a matter of fact, I just purchased a top up card 30 minutes ago, and I originally had 92 minutes available on my cell phone, when I called with a top up card asking to have the represenative apply the first 5.00 (250 minutes) onto the phone account, I was only given 200 cell phone minutes after calling the office 3 times,I was told that the top up card was for 250 minutes,and they had to apply that but I couldnt receive the total 300 and some odd minutes because they had to account for the top up cards 250 minutes award. Could someone help me understand which represenative that I could actually talk to every time thats going to give me honest service? my cell no is 434 209-****, and my name is Valera Curtis Thank you

This is an on-going problem that our readers report regarding a number of free government cell phone companies. At this point, we’d suggest that you call customer service and demand to speak to a supervisor. Tell the supervisor that you are going to report the company to the Federal Communications Commission if this ongoing problem isn’t solved immediately. If they don’t solve your problem, follow through with the complaint.

Very disappointed. I have a five dollar balance on my account, but am unable to convert that cash into minutes. There are many ways to add money, but no way to add the 250 extra minutes to my phone. It should be more accessible to your customers.

Tina Jill Wright says
I have an assurance phone & it works for us. Normally 250 minutes is enough, however my husband has been in UK medical for 14 days and I think we have 23 minutes left, which will run out soon. I seen where you have a special for a limited time of 500 minutes. Is there a possibility that we might take advantage of this opportunity. We really can’t afford to wait until our date 2/27/16 to have minutes added. My husband has cirrosihis of liver and you can verify this. We are not sure how lengthy our stay will be. Any help will be very much appreciated.
LeeAnn Cedeno says
I added $5.00 to my account and they didn’t convert it to minutes, this happens every month and is very inconvenient. Please change my $5.00 over to the 250 minutes as with every other month since I’ve had this phone, thank you & please call or text to verify this change has been made. Thanking you again & have a great day!

How to get assurance wireless phone account back
Amanda Beard says
I haven’t received my airtime. I got a text that gave me the code 555, however, I don’t have anywhere on the phone that says “Redeem airtime” or anything else.
Joe McIntyre says
I wonder why when I buy extra time that it doesn’t carry over to the next month? I used to have Iwireless and my minutes that I purchased would carry over. Also I could earn minutes by shopping at Kroger stores. Why doesn’t Assurance offer something like that?
anastasia anderson says
I was in jail for 3 months and now my minutes are not being added for no usage on the phone. how do I get this back in working order? I called and was left on hold by CSR.

Jennings Evans says
Hello, I have an assurance wireless free phone that has 20 minutes remaining & must go out of town tomorrow. I tried adding 5.00 to my phone & all It says Is 5.00 cash balance. Could you please explain to me what that means. I’m worried in an emergency what to do when I have no minutes. I’ve tried emailing assurance wireless but they don’t answer me. Thank You. Can you call 911 when you have no minutes?
Toni says
Hi, the $5.00 cash balance means you have purchased 50 minutes of talk time. That is .10 cents per minute.
beverly hemdren says
how do i add minutes to my phone
Teresa Adcock says
It is my understanding that using 911 don’t need minutes on the phone.
Free Government Cell Phones says
You are correct. No minutes are charged for 911 calls. In fact, ANY cell phone is able to call 911 as long as its battery is good. Here’s more info from PureTalkUSA.com:
How many times have you seen “zero bars” on your phone and put it away instead of trying to make a call? Well if you’re trying to call 911, DON’T make this mistake. Thanks to the FCC, network providers must transmit an emergency call (911) regardless of whether you use their service or not.
So what does this mean? Well, if your provider doesn’t have coverage in that area, your phone will show that it has no service. But, another provider may offer coverage there and will transmit your 911 call for you, so definitely give the call a try.
You can also reach 911 with a cell phone that is not associated with a provider. This means the old phone you have stored away can be a great emergency device. As long as it has battery power and can reach a signal, your phone can connect to 911. However, keep in mind this means your call cannot be returned because there isn’t a number associated with your device. So, if the call gets disconnected, you need to be the one to call back.
Gregory Eastwood says
Hello, my problem is that I have added the extra $5.00 now I think it’s going on two months now and it still dosent show up on my account, . I have had some changes in my personal life that requires more phone time, so if you would please contact me and let me know what the problem is so we can remedy this. Thank you

the free phone and minutes is great but it got dropped and the entire screen is cracked and broken now. but I have another phone of my own that I have had for awhile thru at&t, but I have no minutes on that phone and I was wondering if I could somehow apply the minutes to it?? and, the other thing is that it would be great if we could also get free phones for our teen aged children
FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net says

janet says
I did the same, dr.s appts took up all my minutes being put on Hold for 25 min.s every call… When I added min.s for $5.00, the password is 8-10 numbers which they text to you when your purchasing the extra min.s or are in the process. Just check your texting, they will text the numbers to you. (or should) if not CALL them, those calls are Free. I know we were on for 15 min. trying to add the $5.oo & get the text of my password numbers. Check your text.
Mr Rhonell Williams jr says
Never put your password on the internet FOR COMMENTdo it buy phone !
edwin says

Why does it take up minutes when I am checking my voicemails? I also think that it is using double minutes or something bc, I only used the phone for a total of 21 min last month, and it says i used over 50 minutes.

I’VE HAD MY PHONE 8-9 yr.s, there’s been alot of months I didn’t use it at all, never any problems, ever. I love it. I call out of state anytime easily. One problem, I can hardly hear it ring, if I’n not holding it or very close to it, I miss my call. That happens alot!!! Low ring or no ring…bjut now I’m trying to purchase texting but can’t seem to get it…but I’ll keep tryin. It keeps telling me I don’t get texting but won’t say WHY…I’m trying to purchase it! Any advice???
teresa says
You should call customer service and see if your plan include texr msg. I tried doing it myself for four months and I finally called and the gentlemen saw where I had been trying and he got me my txt right then.
edwin says
Keep trying, when you call the automated number, after the introduction, begin pushing buttons until it tells you it will get you a live person, either tell them your desire or ask for a new application and literally start over, I did and it took 3 months but I got it back, amen to that , however, the man that experienced out of rang no coverage, well, I had the same problem when I went to Montana, I guess that we all need a back up plan, if your in the mountains there is no coverage for all phones not just assurance, so,have a backup plan for such emergency’s. hope this helps,But keep calling and push numerous buttons to get a live person, no matter how difficult they are to understand, what can anyone expect for free, overall, its a wonderful plan and a blessing to say the least.
Antonio says
I bought a Top-Up card at Walgreens in Tucson Arizona for an Assurance Wireless cell phone that is supposed to be using Virgin Mobile. The Top-Up card does not work and per one of the Assurance Wireless Supervisors “Amy” they know that there is a problem with these phone cards. The retailer will not take it back and has stated that they know of one other customer who had this problem. So far Assurance Wireless has done nothing to credit my account and has basically lied to me twice. These people have the most terrible customer service that I ever have endured from a telephone service provider. Do not choose Assurance Wireless unless you want the Government to be giving money to a company that does not care about it’s customers and does not care that Top-Up cards are being marketed that do not work. I desperately need a cell phone in order to try and find work as I am destitute. Assurance Wireless does not care that I had to borrow money to buy a Top-Up card that is basically worthless. On some of my calls I even heard Customer Service Representatives laughing in the background more than likely at the conversation that I was having with the CSR that I was on the phone with. These people are not nice, stay away from Assurance Wireless.

WOW Talk about being ungreatful ? Just another gimme, gimme, gimme moron (Champagne TASTE on Ripple POCKETS) that does not know THANK YOU, it’s not in their vocabulary, I’ve had this FREE PHONE now for 3 years and never had any problem making calls or receiving calls from ANYWHERE & if I ever did I would say “OH WELL” try again later what did we do before cell phones anyway ? Just backs up that APPRECIATION and COMMON SENSE are near COMPLETE EXTINCTION, very sad world we live in today..
ladagosta says
free doesnt help when you are out of state and can not make a call .. emergency cell is worthless if it only has service in your local area. I had to make a out of state trip to get my transmission repaired and was stranded and unable to make one call since it kept saying out of range. if it was not for my son i would still be sitting there this very minute unable to communicate my emergency. this is the case every time i leave my local area it says can not complete call.. so why have a phone at all.. think about it cant wait until i can afford to add cell service to my tablet.. for safety issues as having this cell phone is senseless i have magic jack when i am home so it serves none at the house.. and most people know where i go so if i do not return they will find me where I went when it comes to local running.. when i go out of state is when i would need this phone for emergency reasons and yet it will not allow incoming or outgoing calls. the tower signal is never connecting free = 0 = worthless dont get me wrong i can chat for nothing but i can do that on the magic jack.

Just dial 611 from the phone then push 3 to do it automated no hold time doesnt cost u any mins then you just follow the easiest instructions ever as prompted by the automated voice such as punching in your acct & cc #s blah blah blah & then you’re done in 3 mins tops & then just hang up & you will be texted instantly that it went thru successfully. You can even have your cc# saved for future purchases on your plans mins/texts to save you an extra min the next time you call if 3 mins is too long of course…easy as 1,2,3! Good luck hope this helped, cheers!

Never rely on adding money by e mail. Always get a live operator. You can still do this . call their 800 number and don’t use any prompts untill they offer and they will an operator. Then you can make clear what you paid and what you want. Absolutey success every time buying minutes with a live person

Jazzy says
Anna, I just added $5.00 to my account. First you have to call (888)322-1122, select the option to top-up your account using a credit/debit card, it will ask for your pin number which I didn’t know mine at the time so I entered what I thought it was twice.The $5.00 cash balance showed up but my minutes didn’t change. I had to call (888) 321-5880 and spoke to a representative and was told they have to speak to you to add min/text. I was successful, then I was sent a text with my pin number. The text balance changed immediately, the voice minute change took a little longer, but it works. Good luck!!

Do you have to use the phone they send you. Our can you up grade. Also are all gov phones virgin mobile, and if not how can you find out the provider.
Respectfully, KLM
HOW TO DO IT!!!!! says
Easy fix, just call 611 from your cell phone, have a debit or credit card in your hand
And when you here the options just push 000000 till you get on hold with a live person, yes they are out there, when you talk to them give them your phone number, then they will ask you for your password. Wtf is that its not your voicemail password! If you dont know it ask them to text it to you, yes they will do that or just set one up with them with your personal info, hello ok hello can you hear me now. Ya make sure the person you talk to understands that you are paying 5.00 for extra 250 minutes airtime
Because if you dont say that they will give you a 5.00 credit on your phone and airtime
Minutes cost .10 cents a minute, that plan sucks it can eat up 5.00 dollars a call, trust me i learned the hard way.So make sure to tell them that you want the plan 250 minutes for 5.00 dollars. Hope this help ya. All i ask is help somebody help themselves
Thank you. Thank people for the internet.

how do you access your account if you can’t remember or find your PIN number? My sister is stranded with no phone right now because she cant find the PIN #; she has no internet either, so this is really critical. I am trying to help her get her phone on again, but this is really difficult when you cant just do it from the phone
Free Government Cell Phones says
You need to contact the provider.

I feel like I should step in here and do my duty as the evil genius. Doug this should help you and other people who don’t pay attention to what they’re reading. now all you want to do is pay $5 . that’s not a problem as long as you go to the assurance paysite not virgin mobile top up site for sure in sight will let you pay 5.00 virgin mobile top up is $10 minimum but it is a faster and easier way minutes on your account providing you use the same top up card. all you have to do just wait a few minutes and your minute’s pop right up. it don’t get mulch esi thanks that people. that’s it for y’all today my school save some other poor misguided suole…. evil geniuses left the building

If you call 611 for help you are charged nothing! It doesn’t matter how long you talk. Listen to the choices and push for trouble with your phone and you will get a live tech every time. I have had my phone for over two years and that is how I talk to someone “live.” You might get someone you do not understand if that happens ask for another person I have done this before and it works.

Vee says
Right now I have six message in Voicemail and I can’t retrieve them. I keep calling Voicemail and hearing the first and oldest message over and over again. It ends in mid-word and won’t move on to call number two OR three OR four OR five OR SIX!! No matter what I do and even when I follow operating instructions, I CANNOT retrieve those messages–NOT EVEN THE “VIEW” function so that I can see the phone number of the caller!!! THIS is my major emergency . . . actually, it’s equal in urgency to CONVERTING MY DOLLARS TO MINUTES!
This seems to me to be very unfair and this is a replacement phone that I just go!
Vee says
Just exactly which calls and msgs to and from Assurance Wireless are free? I believe my minutes are being used up just trying to find the right option to either convert dollars to minutes OR to ask a question about the phone to learn whether we’re operating it wrong OR whether there’s something wrong with the phone! Those questions aren’t answerable among the options when calling AW and I hate to LISTEN to all FAQs if I’m being charged 10 cents/minute because I can’t get my dollars converted! Please help.
Vee says
The instructions above DO NOT include how to CONVERT dollars to usable minutes. I’m still trying to figure out why I can’t always reach a real person to do this! If dollars are not converted to minutes, we pay the 10 cents/minute charge! Sometimes I somehow accidentally reach a person and they tell me there’s an option to talk to someone but it’s NOT always available. So I go round and round listening all the way through ALL the options, using up 10 cent minutes, I’m sure, and there’s no way to automatically convert without a real person and the real persons are not available. What’s up with that other than stealing more money than necessary from poor folks?
Kelley Qualls says
I agree with Robyn Smalley. I am trying to add minutes to my phone, and it tells me how but doesn’t take me to where I can actually add them.

Sue D. says
I’m eligible, but none of these programs is available in my area. I’m totally disabled and far below the poverty line, yet there isn’t a company that serves my area. With my annual recertification for Medicaid/food stamps/LIHeap, the state sends me a brochure to alert me to the availability of these services. I “check availability” by typing in my zip code. The answer is always the same: Sorry, we don’t serve your area. Check back frequently… Ten years and we are still not covered. Actually, there is almost no help for the poor in these areas. It is as if we exist in a black hole. (Except when it comes to taxes. For some reason, we aren’t invisible then). How depressing is that?
Mike 444 says
YOU KNOW THE SECRET – TO BECOME INVISIBLE – BECOME POOR
When you look poor you become invisible. Grow 3 days worth of stubble for a beard, wear a wrinkled shirt, baggy (but clean) pants, and voila – you are invisible. People do not see you, except Police, and they see you really well, especially if you are driving thru nice neighborhoods, or have a tail light out..
So, be cool, and enjoy being invisible. Just don’t walk thru rich neighborhoods, that gets you visited by the police – it is best to hang out downtown.

My father called 911 from his assurance wireless phone because he needed an ambulance and assurance wireless charged him over 140 minutes for the one call…He contacted assurance wireless and they are the ones that told him this… So my question is what if you have NO minutes on your phone, can you NOT contact 911!? Now he i out of minutes and can’t even contact anyone, including 911 again if he needs to until his minute renew or he ha to pay for more… This is ridiculous!

First, I been to this site on several occasions and I find that the links you say to clink on don’t go to nothing that will tell you how to apply for a free government phone. Second, “Click here” appears right after and in front of the where you say how to find-out more on how to get your free cell phone, or something of that nature. Third, I don’t think you have any intention of directing reader to anywhere they can receive a free cell just a phone at a discount rate. Finally, stop the riff-raff.

I have thought of getting the assurance wireless due to income, but from all the questions/comments, it certainly seems that most everyone has problems contacting a live person to help them and alot of trouble findinf where, who and how to add extra minutes. Yes you do have explanations, and I consider myself to be of average intelligence but your instructions are a bit difficult to follow. Perhaps you could clarify them for a lot of people or at least put phone numbers that could be called to reach someone.

Ask each of the companies that works in your state.
