Free Phone Services for Low Income Households
There are several different plans available to choose from. Most plans will allow for one phone replacement if it is lost or stolen, but then after that, the cheapest way to maintain a phone is to purchase one from your current mobile phone plan and have it shipped to you and hooked up again to your existing free account. If you are a client with NO income, talk to the Client Services office if you need assistance with that.
