We want to tell you how to add  ReachOut Wireless minutes to your cell phone.   If you use Reachout Wireless, you need to know how to add minutes to your phone.  Many ask how and where to buy minutes for their phones.  You want to know how to quickly and easily purchase air time.

Reachout Wireless

This company is one of the companies working with the  Lifeline Assistance program to offer free and affordable phone service to Arkansas, Louisiana, Maryland, and Missouri residents.  This company is one of the top Lifeline phone providers, helping low-income residents with free discounted phones and services.  They also benefit from millions of new consumers and income for the company.

Providers are paid $9.95 monthly for each person participating in the government program.  They also benefit when customers purchase airtime and upgraded plans or purchase cellular phones and services.  Nothing is more frustrating than having a hard time purchasing or adding time to your prepaid or subsidized government phone.  If you are having difficulties, contact customer service for help.  Here are the different ways you can buy additional time.

How to Add Reachout Wireless Minutes to your Phone

If you have used your allotted time, you can purchase as much airtime as you need.   There is no time limit on this additional time; unlike many other providers, it will never expire!  If you do not use your allotted minutes, unused time will continue to roll over each month until they expire. Many other providers do not offer this feature; if you do not use your allotted time, you will lose those minutes.

How to Buy Air Time

To add Reachout Wireless minutes, go to the provider website to purchase and add minutes.  You have the option of buying 20 to 1,000 additional minutes.  You can add time when you have purchased air time by entering a PIN.  You have up to one year to activate the card and add time.

Add Minutes with Emida

Emida is one of the Prepaid networks you can use to purchase air time.   Working with retailers across the country is another way to purchase additional air time online.   Once your purchase is made, enter the PIN on your physical receipt.

Add Minutes Using MoneyGram and Western Union

You may purchase extra minutes at any MoneyGram location.  Minutes purchased appear on your account immediately. There are thousands of agents nationwide, including supermarkets, Wal-Mart, and CVS drug stores in most communities.  I don’t find this method very efficient, but this is one of the features available to users.  The one benefit is that the minutes are loaded on your phone immediately.

“Additional text messaging and minutes cost, 14.95  for 500 minutes and 100 texts 29.95 for 1,000 minutes and text messaging.”

Referral Program – Refer others to the program, tell them to mention your name and number, and you will receive an additional 100 minutes for each person you refer.  There has been some complaint about the small size of the free phones.  They also may lack some of the more popular features people enjoy.  If you want a better phone, here is now to buy or upgrade your cell phone, compatible with your Reachout service.

[UPDATE:  Reachout Wireless is no longer a part of the government’s free phone service program.  They cannot be reached by phone or website.  If you have Reachout Wireless Service, please choose a new provider from this list.
