Assurance Wireless-a Government Free Phones Program

Until some time back, having a cellular phone was considered a luxury

. But in the past few years, the scenario has undergone a massive change and each and every aspect related to telecommunication has become highly digital and technical. Today, almost every adult member of the household owns a handset. But, still there are few people belonging to certain strata of society who cannot afford to maintain a home phone. So, as to reach out this facility to this limited group, assurance wireless program has been introduced by the government.

This government assistance program has been aimed at providing the qualified, but under-privileged group of people such as disabled, low-income individuals or unemployed with free cellular phone services. Be it an elderly person or a young woman, having a cellular phone at service is always beneficial and is very much handy during emergency situations, which can arise just at any moment.

Assurance wireless program provides the user with free long and local distance calling facility of 250 minutes. Upgrading to SMS, MMS or extra calling minutes is also possible with small extra payment.

Upgrading is possible by using debit card, credit card, online transfer, cash or check payment. Top up cards from Assurance wireless can also be used for upgrading the program or increasing the texting or call balance.
