Customers will still have access to their 250 free minutes even if they can't pay for the extra minutes. Assurance also offers pay-by-use voice minutes, text/email messages and international calling. Minnesota marks the 37th state in which Assurance now operates. Assurance is run by Virgin Mobile USA and Sprint.
