    I found this on their web site, I hope it helps a little.

    Lifeline customers will recieve 68 free minutes, a free phone and free activation. If I read it correctly, they will also recieve 68 free minutes monthly.


    "Non Lifeline Customers (customers who are not in qualified programs)
    ReachOut Wireless™ is not just a phone service for government assisted customers; we provide services to anyone, anywhere! We offer complete nationwide services through Verizon Wireless’ towers, utilizing the nation’s largest and most intricate network. Our Pay-as-you-Go service is #1 in it’s category in quality, leading the way for other competitors, and with minutes as low as $0.09, ReachOut Wireless™ is also the cheapest. Like our Lifeline program, there is no contract, no credit check, and no deposit and it costs absolutely nothing to start.

    ReachOut Wireless™ offers free activation, that is, activate through ReachOut Wireless™ and we will give you a phone number and 68 FREE minutes to go along with it, so you can use your services right away for no charge. With cards in increments of $5, $10, and $20, a ReachOut Wireless™ cell phone is affordable under any budget. With the ability to purchase an airtime card over the phone, on the web, or at one of thousands of MoneyGram locations, ReachOut has made obtaining wireless service as convenient as possible.

    Signing up is easy and could be done one of several ways. You can click Here and sign up online right now, or you can call us at 1-877-870-9444 and have one of our highly trained activation representatives walk you through the activation process. All we would need from you is just your first and last name and the 11-digit Electronic Serial Number (ESN) on the back of the phone. To proceed with the activation process click Here.

    ReachOut Wireless™ minutes start at $0.09 a minute and you will receive 68 minutes free with activation. Any additional minutes you may need may be purchased over the phone, online, or from any MoneyGram location. You will have 90 days from the day that the minutes are added to your account to use these minutes before they expire. If you add additional airtime to your account before these minutes expire, you will have an additional 90 days to use the minutes (your minutes will expire 90 days from the most recent date you have added airtime). If your account goes without airtime for 30 days, you will lose your ReachOut Wireless™ phone number. At this point, you may reactivate your handset but you will be assigned a new number. "
