Assurance Wireless, a subsidiary of New Jersey-based Virgin Mobile, launched its free service this week with advertising on television and the Internet. The service is subsidized by the 25-year-old federal Lifeline program, which reimburses phone companies $10 a month for per customer. Most people who receive the federally subsidized phone service do so using their landline phones at home, but two years ago, wireless providers also began offering the free service. Assurance Wireless is offering 200 free minutes a month along with a free handset that normally sells for $9.99. To sign up for Assurance Wireless, call 888-898-4888 or go to: www.assurancewireless.com . Last year, Miami-based TracFone became the first wireless provider to offer free phone service to the poor in this state.
