5. By Phone: Customer Care & Dial-In
When technology fails, reach a live agent:

- Call 1-888-321-5880 toll-free.
- Ask the representative to read out your current minute balance.
Tip: Have your Account PIN ready to speed up verification.
Additional Tips
- Set Up Usage Alerts: In My Account, enable notifications or email alerts for when minutes drop below 100 min. This prevents surprise cut-offs.
- Review Your Usage History: Click My History in your dashboard to see daily call logs and pinpoint peak usage days. Planning calls for off-peak times can stretch your minutes further.
- Auto-Pay & Top-Up PINs: Register a payment method under My Settings for automatic minute top-ups or purchase $5/$10 PINs at retail stores (Dollar General, Family Dollar, Walmart, etc.).
- Keep Service Active: To maintain Lifeline benefits, make at least one call, send a text, or use data every 30 days—otherwise your service may be suspended.
- Annual Recertification: You’ll be contacted each year to prove eligibility. Failing to recertify stops new minutes from being added to your account.
By choosing the method that best fits your routine—app, web, USSD code, or a quick call—you’ll always know exactly how many minutes you have left on your Assurance Wireless plan. Safe calling!

Yes. You can buy more minutes by dialing 611 and selecting the option to purchase, or by entering a prepaid PIN purchased at participating retailers (e.g., Dollar General, Family Dollar, Walmart). You can also add a payment method under My Account and enable automatic top-ups so extra minutes are added whenever your balance falls below a set threshold.
