What are the hours and when should I call?
Assurance Wireless operates the call center for this 888-321-5880 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Tuesday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 2,796 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Assurance Wireless call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Assurance Wireless phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Assurance Wireless staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Assurance Wireless is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 73% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 2,796 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Tuesday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Thursday, which is 643% longer than the minimum.As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
In summation, the best day to call Assurance Wireless is Tuesday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Assurance Wireless staffs up on Tuesday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
There are many reasons why people might call Assurance Wireless. Some people may need to check on their application status or change something that determines their eligibility. I heard about it on the radio and realized that my father might be applicable,e given his age and limited income, so I wanted to look into whether he could apply. He is not technologically handy at all, so I knew that if he did qualify I would have to do all the work, so I called to learn more about the application process and determine the best way to proceed.
After calling the number, I was thanked for calling Assurance Wireless, and then a recorded message informed me that "federal regulations require that you use your free lifeline and/or ASP service at least once every 30 days or you will lose your service." I found that interesting and tucked the information away so I could remind my father he had to use it at least once a month.
It then asked me for my number, which caught me off guard since I was seeking general information, but then said if you don't have a number, press # which I then did. The recorded message warned me that Assurance may collect information to learn more and that I could go to tmobile.com/privacy to learn more. It also offered me a phone number I could call to learn how to block spam or unwanted texts, which was also interesting.
Then it launched into the first directory, which told me for instructions on how to improve my phone press 1, to check the application process press 2, if you are a new customer press 3, and for all others press 4. It was most logical for me to choose 3, so then it launched a new menu that said to sign up or enroll or reapply press 1, to check the status of an application press 2, or for existing customers press 3.
I pressed 1, and then it asked me to enter my ZIP Code to see if service is available in my area. I entered his ZIP Code and it said that it was, but the fastest way to apply is to visit their website at assurancewireless.com. It also told me to please hang up and go to the website.
I was a little unclear at this point if it would hang up on me, but after about 15 seconds of dead air, another recorded message informed me that Assurance Wireless offered free data, voice minutes, and texts to qualified applicants. It also said that you may qualify if you participate in Medicaid, MediCal, Snap, Qualfresh, benefits pension, or survivors benefits along with other government benefits.
After it got through this, it asked if I had a home number associated with my name or address. Since I was calling for my dad, I said no. It then finally said I would be connected to a live representative within 30 seconds, and I was. The representative had a thick accent, but I could understand her, and she helped me through the process. I will note it took me 5 minutes and seven seconds to get to a real person.
