Blue Jay Wireless helps all under-income eligible U.S. citizens residing in many states to get a free wireless phone packed with all the needed for quick and reliable communication features and use it with costless monthly plans. It is an excellent opportunity for all those counting every buck since with one of Blue Jay Wireless phones; it is easy to stay in touch all the time with no charges whatsoever. This initiative is carried out as a part of the federal Lifeline Assistance program specially created for low-income people across the country. The phones given under Lifeline terms are often referred to as “Obama phones,” though Lifeline has been around since 1985.

As of the moment of writing this post, Blue Jay Wireless serves regular and tribal plans to residents of twelve states and Puerto Rico. The current list is:
- Arizona
- Colorado
- Hawaii
- Kentucky
- Minnesota
- Missouri
- Nevada
- Oklahoma
- South Carolina
- Texas
- Utah
- Wisconsin
One of the best sides of this company is that it has a few Blue Jay Wireless plans for its consumer to subscribe to. In every state it serves, the carrier offers a set of totally free (Lifeline) and prepaid monthly plan options. Every subscriber can then choose a plan to use the free gov phone sent by the BlueJay. For specific plans available in each state, it is advised to check at www.bluejaywireless.com, which is an official carrier’s web. Some of the plans are shown below just as examples of what you can get with this free government cell phone provider.
The three complimentary Blue Jay Wireless plans are Lifeline free plan 125, Lifeline free plan 250, and Lifeline free plan 350. The first one is given in all servicing states (except for the Tribal areas). One hundred twenty-five free voice minutes are transferred to every account monthly, with unused minutes rolling over to the next month (in other plans they expire). The price of one text message is one voice minute, i.e., with this most straightforward plan, you can send 65 texts and make calls for 60 airtime minutes at no cost within one month. If you run out of minutes/texts, additional ones can be bought with the refill cards. Besides, it is possible to switch to other plans with a small monthly fee and more minutes, or even get one of the unlimited plans for some extra cash.
