ASSURANCE WIRELESS MAKES A SMART MOVE WITH SMARTPHONES AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA

In order to provide more value to Lifeline customers, Assurance Wireless is now providing Android™ Smartphones to new, eligible consumers at live events in California. The Lifeline program was developed to ensure that Americans have the opportunities and security that phone service brings. With Smartphones, Assurance Wireless customers can do more by connecting - via phone and the Internet - with jobs, health care and emergency services while maintaining important ties to friends and family.

To promote connectivity, Assurance Wireless has added free data to its Smartphone offer in California. The Assurance Wireless California FREEdom® Plan includes Unlimited FREE Calling & Texting plus 3 GB FREE Data each month.

Qualified Assurance Wireless applicants can receive a Smartphone the same day from Enrollment Representatives at community events while awaiting final program approval from the California LifeLine Administrator.

Consumers can also call or go online to request service, and starting in early 2016, they will have the option to choose a Smartphone when they call 1-888-898-4888 or visit assurancewireless.com/CA.
