Cell phones have become an essential part of almost everyone’s life. With a cell phone being something we use on a daily basis, it also becomes one of our biggest bills. Our family spends about $1920 a year on our wireless plans for the four of us. That’s even more than our house phone. There are some plans that cost less and could save us money, but how about wireless service that’s free? Yes, that’s right FREE mobile service!
Scratch Wireless is a brand new wireless service plan that’s free. This free mobile service already saves me a great deal of money. Just in the past 2 months that I have had this phone I saved $100, because my regular plan was $50 a month with my old phone.
- This one not right for you? Check out our long list of Free Cell Phones With Free Talk and Text!
Scratch phones use Wi-Fi wherever possible. They call this Wi-Fi First℠. When there’s no Wi-Fi around, the Sprint Nationwide Network is there to back you up so you’re always connected. The catch is voice, data and texting is always FREE while connected to a Wi-Fi network. However texting is always 100% free whether you are connected to a wireless network or not. This is a great plan for anyone that text all the time and doesn’t use that much talk time.
Activation: Once you power on your phone, Scratch Wireless requires a few activation steps prior to your first call or text. It took me less than a minute. Activation is easy and fast and provides you with a brief Scratch tutorial.
When you are not connected to a wireless network but need to use voice and data that’s no problem. Just simply purchase a Scratch Wireless Voice or Data pass. It’s as easy as buying a song. Select the Scratch app on your Home screen, then select add Voice or Data Pass. Data Passes are as low as $1.99, you can jump on the cellular network (provided on the Nationwide Sprint Network), do what you need to, and when you’re back on Wi-Fi it’s all free again! If you need more voice and date or just don’t want to think about it, they also offer bigger passes to keep you connected all the time. But there’s never any ads, contracts or obligation. It’s always up to you.
So far in the last 2 months of using this phone, I have not needed to purchase a voice or data pass. Everywhere I have been if I needed to make a call I have been able to connect to Wi-Fi and make calls.
Right now they only have one phone available. However, this is a really great phone. The phone is a Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE that cost $269 and runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. This phone can be purchased from ScratchWireless.com. Once you purchase the phone your wireless service is now technically free and you can even choose to continue to use your current phone number from your previous carrier if you choose.
The quality of the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE and Scratch Wireless service is pretty good and a lot better than one of the cell phone carriers I was using before Scratch. Calls are crystal clear and I get about 3 to 4 bars in the Tampa area of Florida. The Photon Q 4G LTE has a nice full-sized QWERTY keyboard and the phone measures 4.98 inches long, 2.6 inches wide and 0.54 inches thick. With a large 4.3 inches, this display. Complete with an 1.3MP front-facing camera, 8-megapixel camera with 1080p video capture and LED flash.
Camera
The body of the phone is well made and feels very durable. Fits perfect in my pocket or purse nicely and it’s not to over sized. It’s also a very comfortable fit in the hands. The onboard speaker is by far the loudest I have heard and it doesn’t crackle and distort while listening or watching something.
It’s very responsive and I don’t find it to be slow at all. I am so impressed all around especially with the build, screen quality, and the keyboard.
80 percent of the time, people connect to the mobile internet from their home, office, or other indoor locations. So why shouldn’t service be free? Voice, data and texting is always FREE while connected to a Wi-Fi network with Scratch Wireless. This is the perfect phone for anyone like myself who texts most of the time and only make a few calls a month and not using many minutes. Texting is always 100% free whether you are connected to a wireless network or not!
I hate paying that cell phone bill every month – money is just so tight
That would save me so much money! I would be able to catch u on other bills!
Nice phone and with free service, that’s great! Thanks for having this contest.
Would definitely save a lot of money! Sounds like a great plan!
It would save me a lot of money!
It would really change my life. I haven’t been able to afford a phone due to being unemployed. It has made life hard without a phone.
This would be great and a huge money saver for me.
well obviously no bills but more important to me is freedom, especially when i travel, to keep in touch!
This would help us out tremendously, by the time we finish paying for our monthly family plan, we might as well be paying for a car-note! And no i had no clue this service was free.
I have a tight budget.. This would be very helpful so I can keep in contact with my son.
I won’t worry about having to pay an exorbitant monthly bill
would love to have this love that its free service…that would help out a lot
It would be awesome because I hate paying monthly phone card charges
This sounds great and would be a blessing to save some money
I definitely think the free service would help me out because everything is getting to expensive. If I could let go of my current service and save over $80 a month then I could use the money I save for healthier groceries and to pay off bills.
A backup phone would be nice to have when I am low on minutes and power on my main phone
It would free up more money to do things with my kids!
I really need this for those long waits in the doctor’s office, know what i mean?
I didn’t know about this, I’d certainly live to save more money
I hate paying that cell phone bill every month – money is just so tight I have been deciding whether I really want the cell phone – this would be perfect
i would save so much money it would make life easier for me. i am tony l smoaks on rafflecopter.
This is great!!!! It would save me some money!!!
Sounds almost too good to be true. Eventually there will probably be more wifi out there to use off of anyway.
Having free mobile service will free up more money in my budget.
Free service! Are you kidding me! This is great!
Who wouldnt love a free phone!
It would change my life because I would finally have my own phone!
I currently do not own a smart phone because my husband and I do not wish to sign up for a plan. Scratch wireless sounds like an awesome direction for us to go, I would love to win 🙂
I could use the extra dollars in my bank account!
would be great not having a phone bill…cant imagine being without that expensive bill
This would allow me to keep track of my son so much easier! There is no way I can afford a cell phone for him! I am not even working!
It would save me so much money!! right now i have metropcs
That would save money.
I’ve never had a cell phone, but this one would be great!
Free would be nice but I need my fast data speeds!
Are you sure? 🙂 Sounds to good to be true. Free service would be an ease on my budget.
I’ll be able to stop paying my monthly cell bill and save for a car instead
My cell phone’s broken, so a new one – with free service, to boot – would be great!
I could play a couple more rounds a golf each month.

it would amazing save money
Awesome. I could stay in contact with my children and grandchildren.
It would be a great way to save money!
I have so much I could do with those savings like paying frees for little league
Wow, this would definitely make things easier for me. Currently paying 200 dollars a month on my contract isn’t working out for me financially and I am in need of a new phone since my one is currently dying. Hope I win this!
As long as there is good coverage
This phone looks perfect, I mostly text or have wi-fi available but have been dreading upgrading to a smartphone and the bill increase
It would be GREAT!!! I could keep track of my younger teens without having to worry when they need picked up.. They can just call!
I currently I don’t have a cell phone so winning one with free service would be awesome.
Would be incredible. I could pay down my debt much faster!
It sounds like the service is a lot better quality than my current plan.
sounds great……

Thats awesome! I would save so much money every month 🙂
Communications is our most costly expense.
This phone would change my life by allowing me to stay connected with my family and friends, since I just broke my cellphone last week.
This system and phone are fantastic! Would love to win, as this would save my tail on monthly expenses!!
A new phone to win and great service!! What more could a girl ask for???? I am usually near WiFi all day, so this phone would work well for me, and then maybe my fiancée can drop me from his plan and save money!!!
Having free mobile service will free up more money in my budget.
it would make me feel more secure as a handicapped indivuidual
I know it would be life changing. I’ve actually been doing a lot of research lately on cell phones/service. I found something similar but haven’t heard of Scratch until seeing your blog review. I think it sounds great. I’d love to try and am confident I’d love it then I’d replace everyone’s cell phone in the house with it. Cell service is definitely pricey. I usually only get online when at home or a place of business that has WiFi. Great review!
This would be awesome for my son! We’ve been considering giving him a phone but I don’t want a horrific phone bill. This would let him be able to keep in contact with us for very little money.
Free is great! I am broke anyways!
With me being a stay at home wife free cell service would help us out alot!
It would change my life so much.I dont like getting out without a phone because you never know when you may need it.
This would be great as it would be one less expense.
It would help free up a lot of money that I could use towards other things that we need in life!
it would change my life because I would actually, finally have a phone!
I was just looking for a slider phone! So this phone is cool and to have no payments that would save me over $100 dollars a month
I could buy more clothes with my savings
Since I don’t have a smartphone, this could change my life in many ways!
I wouldn’t have to worry about having money for the cell phone every month. 🙂
This would save me a fortune! I hardly use my phone away from a wireless source, so it would be practically free!
i had no clue about this servicwe but oh my it would save me a lot of money every month.i just dont know how it all works but would be great
This would be great
Not sure if this would really change my life since I do not know how exclusive wifi service compares to being on a cellular network.
This would change my life extremely… This is exactly what I’ve been looking for as I have been needing a new phone and a new wireless phone service…
Perfect for me, I’d much rather text than talk!
i haven’t heard of this before, but how awesome is that!? This is fantastic! Paying $140/mo for our family plan. This would be a huge savings.
I wouldn’t have to worry about having the money to pay the bill on time.
I would love to win this giveaway. Money is tight and hard to get by each month. Thanks for the opportunity

Going through a divorce right now and so the income of my family has been less for some time now. It would make a huge difference to have free cell phone service and be able to use that money for other things like other utilities or groceries.
Wouldn’t mind one!
Free is awesome!!! I could save so much money, it would be great to have this phone and service to help save money!!!
I would feel awesome!!
I would love to win this phone for my 18 year old son who isn’t on our phone plans and needs a cell phone.He will be working soon and would really benefit from this phone for job searching and contacting potential employers, plus everyday communications.
I’ve already got Tracfone practically free, but free-free would be even better.
As a retiree, it would be great to have free service in case of an emergency.
Great so where do I sign up? lol Love the idea of using my wi-fi.
Awesome!
Having this Scratch Service and phone change my life because it would save me a lot of money!
If this provides good coverage and good service, this is a really great deal.
Of course we’d love free service – yeah! But it seems to good to be true, on the other hand, it almost seems inevitable.
LOOKS REALLY COOL
This would be very helpful since I do not have a cell phone.
This would be great for my kids or husband. Kids already have a free plan, but the phone isn’t cool. This one is, so would make me a winner
I would love to win this phone… All my kids have a nice phone I think its time to treat mommy to a new phone..
Oh my gosh this would save so much money
Cell phone with free service will save me a ton of money.

Thanks for introducing me to Scratch Wireless. A free wireless connection to Wi-Fi can come in handy with a laptop so you can have a computer anywhere.
i would love to have free service. mine is so expensive
Who’s life wouldn’t change with a little bit of extra cash in their pocket every month !!! I could pay off some bills alot quicker !!
Saving all that money would be great…sounds kinda too good to be true 🙂
Sounds like a great deal
Sounds great, what’s the catch?
Saving all that money would be great! I could start putting it away for Christmas presents for next year!
This is a really awesome deal.
Cell phone with free service will save me a ton of money.
We have two 16 year old daughters and it would be great for them to have a cell phone and the service is free.
it would help where we could have the free wireless phone instead of having to pay for another phone.. it helps when you live on a limited amount of money and cant afford it.. it is for the people who are disabled or get food stamps and that helps them because they are the ones that need to have the service the most..
I like free unlimited text messaging.
It would save me a lot of money a month to put towards other bills
I had never heard of a phone with free service! What a great deal!
Free sure beats what I’m spending on my cell plan now!
This would be so helpful because I don’t have a cell phone. I could really use one!
sounds like a great deal
We don’t have the money for a cell phone plan. This would be AWESOME!!
this would help me to save some money for sure.
I’ve resisted getting a newer, nicer phone because of the cost. Right now I have a pay as you go plan and use it as little as possible. This would be a great improvement.
It would allow the saving of money
This is awesome! My cell phone is so expensive and it would be a huge help to get ahead on other bills!
This would be amazing
i would be able to use mobile, this would be great for price checking on the fly
This would save me a lot of money of not having to pay for service.
saving a bunch of money would be great
This would be a wonderful money saver! I’m rarely not on wifi and so it would be great to have something like this! 🙂
This would allow us to cut back on one of our cell phones and save quite a bit of money that would be tossed into our lil tot’s school fund!
I could save some money with this phone. Fingers crossed : )
This would really help me have some extra money for other things. Thanks for the giveaway!
Having FREE cell phone service will change my life because I will save $150+ a month paying cell phone bill every month. 🙂
Oh this would be amazing being that we live on disability. And the only phone we do have is a cell. I could use that extra money to pay for my daily meds. It would be godsent.
This would help me pay off other bills with the extra money.
It would save money so that I can splurge on other fun things!
Oh my gosh this would save so much money!!!!!!!!!!
How amazing
I still have a flip phone. I would love the price check shopping apps that you can use with these new phones. I could save some money
This would save me my monthly cellphone bill, allowing me to pay it towards debt instead
Believe it or not but I am still using a minute phone that doesn’t have any modern features (ie no camera, no apps, etc). If I won this prize I can join the rest of the folks living in the 21st century. I am also on a fixed income so the free phone service would be like winning the lottery for a million dollars.
It would save lots of money! You could even keep it as a backup if you don’t want to eliminate your other phone.
This would save me so much money. I would love to win this!
Wow, free service?!! I’d never heard of Scratch Wireless before, but this is amazing! It would change my life by saving me on high wireless bills and giving me access to the internet when I’m out around town! I can look up directions and even coupons when I’m shopping! How exciting! 🙂
That sounds awesome, too good to be true, it would help me cut down on mobile costs.
I did not know this service was free but it would certainly make my life easier.
This will really have a big impact with connecting with people and saving money
Have free phone service would change my life in that I would be able save more money. My husband and I are working toward saving enough money so that I can quit my job and stay at home with our kids.
One less monthly bill I have to worry about
The only cell I have is a no frills, dinosaur. No texting. No camera. No contact list. No nothing. I can make a phone call. That’s it. I have it in case of emergencies. However, there are times when it would be VERY helpful to have a cell phone. My friends are having a fit. I think it’s time I joined this century and got something more modern. This would be great.
great a break on my bill
I it would free up a bit of money for other things!
Thanks for the chance.

this would change things for me by saving money using the cell phone
It would allow me to be more connected to my family!
I have had no experience with anything except the plane old cell phone, so I really don’t know just what this will do for me, yet. but I sure can hope for lots of improvements.
I’ve never had a smartphone, so this would be a huge upgrade over my flip phone. It would make me modern I guess.
It will save me tons of money on phone service. I never heard that I can get free Wireless service! I would also be able to keep in touch with my family more with this phone. I do not have a phone now with the Internet on it!
The tweet in the Rafflecopter is too big, so I used the tweet at the bottom.
My husband doesn’t have a smartphone so this would change his life by being able to check emails on the go.
it will help me keep in touch with my husband during the day.
This would change my life by not having an old antique phone and having an up to date phone with many features..
would make my life better because trying to get my grandson a new phone but couldn’t afford to do another iphone.. this would make him so happy and nana such a winner~
Free phone service would make life a lot easier for everyone in the family. It would make a great security blanket.
I will be able to capture moments with videos and pictures.
This phone would change my wife because I would give it to my husband who doesn’t own a cell phone. I would now be able to contact him
We are on a tight budget sooooo I would be able to save on my phone bill and catch up on my other bills.
I have never had a smartphone (we have one flip phone that we all share). I would love to get one to be able to use as a phone, and then be able to do all the cool things smartphones can do. We don’t have the money for a cell phone plan, so this plan would be perfect.
Well given how old my phone is that I reboot it all the time, it will save my life simply by being newer 😮
I like it because it has a key Bord , and I hate my current smart phone
It would be easier for me to do things than on my current phone and would save me a lot of money!

Thanks so much.
Well my Fiance has a dinosaur phone from the prehistoric Era so I would give him my phone and use this one 🙂
I actually don’t have a phone, so I would be able to call people!
My hubby doesn’t own a cell phone, so I would give him my old phone and keep this one and he could call me.
This would help me to get things done on the go
My pre-teen daughter would stop bugging me for one, because I’d give it to her.
This phone would not change my life.
You don’t think having free service verses service that cost money could change your life?
I LOVE BEING ABLE TO STAY IN CONTACT WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
with the fast service it would speed up my productivity time.
We have cut back on all non-necessities, and that includes giving up the cell phone. It’s been a real challenge! I would so love to have a cell phone again!
I Would give to my daughter so she would call me 🙂
It would change my life by saving me a ton of money on my cell phone bill which I need badly
