How Can I Add Minutes On Assurance Wireless?
Basically, the basic Assurance Wireless Lifeline plan differs by state. However, it always includes unlimited text messages, a set number of minutes (used to be 250, now up to 1000), and a set amount of monthly data (generally 4.5 to 6 GB).
Simply go to the Assurance Wireless website and click ‘Apply Now’ to find out how many minutes and data you can get in your area. Then, you’ll be prompted to enter your ZIP code, after that you’ll be informed whether Assurance service is available in your state and how many free minutes and data you can get.
In order to add minutes to your current plan, you can either pay 10 cents per extra minute or upgrade your free Assurance plan.
Pay 10 cents per extra minute
This method may be ideal for those who rarely use all of their free monthly minutes and only require a small number of additional minutes at the end of the month. Please note that you must have money in your account to pay 10 cents per minute.
Upgrade your free Assurance Wireless plan
If you frequently use up all of your free minutes each month, you can pay $5 per month for an additional 250 voice minutes. Because this offer does not allow for rollover minutes, any remaining minutes will be forfeited at the end of the month.
You can also buy an additional $15, $20, $30, or $45 plan from Assurance Wireless. All of them include unlimited minutes and a set amount of monthly data (1/5 GB to 10.5 GB). You won’t have to worry about rollover minutes in this case because the minutes and data will be available for as long as you have the plan.
