This plan is part of the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program created by Congress to provide temporary assistance to eligible households impacted by COVID-19.
During congestion, heavy data users (>35GB/mo.) and customers choosing Assurance Wireless or similarly prioritized plans (e.g. T-Mobile Essentials, Metro by T-Mobile) may notice lower speeds than other customers due to data prioritization.
*Only new customers qualify for a FREE Smartphone.
