Free phones and monthly service for foster youth include:

NMDs, Child Welfare Workers (CWWs) or caregivers can complete the application for a phone on the CA LifeLine program website – California LifeLine Foster Youth Program.
For youth under 18, caregivers or CWWs should assist the youth or complete the application on the youth’s behalf. Caregiver approval is required. Please discuss the phone with the caregiver before submitting an application.
