Account access
Sign in through the official Assurance Wireless login page. If you forgot your username, password, PIN, or application ID, use the recovery links on the login or check-status screens instead of starting a second application.
Assurance Wireless provides a dedicated status checker for Lifeline applications. You may need your application PIN or application ID; if you do not have it, the status page offers alternate lookup fields such as last name, date of birth, and last four of SSN.

Assurance Wireless supports compatible unlocked phones in many cases. Check the official compatibility and activation instructions before buying a phone.
