StandUp Wireless free phone plans

Standup Wireless is one of a number of smaller companies that are certified by the U.S. federal government's Lifeline phone service program to provide free cell phones and free minutes to residents of Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Standup Wireless has recently upgraded their plans to be competitive with other modern Lifeline cell phone plans.
Now, their plan gives residents of every state they serve 500 minutes of voice, unlimited texting and 500 MB of data every month. No, voice is not unlimited, but given people text more than they call these days, does it really matter?

The usual complement of features are provided on the phone: caller id, voicemail, and call waiting. And they do include free nationwide long distance. International calls are allowed, but chargeable.
