Qualifying for Assurance Wireless Program
The federal lifeline program has
managed to address the people’s need to have a phone and use its services for
free. Together with Virgin Mobile USA, the people of United States have now the
privilege of owning a free cell phone and using a 250 minutes call for free –
as well as sending 250 texts per month. The program is called http://www.yourcellphone.us/. Before, this wasn’t
the idea at all. The first idea was to give away free land line phones to
qualifying applicants but somehow, things have changed. People are more
inclined to using wireless cell phones than the traditional land line phones.
This makes the program more attractive to many people. However, the program
isn’t accessible to the entire public but only to those eligible and approves
applicants.
Like any programs that offer free services, Assurance Wireless is restricted only to those applicants who have managed to comply with all the requirements. The program only allows individuals that are earning lower than a normal person does every month. For example, the federal government has set up an income limit – if you’re monthly income is below 150 percent of the poverty guideline, you are a perfect candidate for the program. However, do not be too confident because as expected, different states require different percentage. So if you live in Louisiana, do not follow the rules sets in people living in Florida or else, your application will not be approved.
However, you have to check first he list of states included in the federal lifeline program because definitely, not all states are included. You can check their official website for more information on these. Once you had confirmed that your area is included, you need to give a proof of statement that you are a qualified candidate – show your payment slip or anything that can proof that you are earning a low salary per month and surely, your application will be approved in a matter of days.
