Narrative:

While en route from ZZZ, to ZZZ1, I was contacted by ATC that I had violated the expanded XXX prohibited area. I had contacted FSS for a briefing prior to departure, but using a cell phone I was abruptly cut off before finishing the entire NOTAM part of the briefing. From the time I had gotten into ZZZ2 airspace I was in contact with ATC for radar advisories and continued this procedure until destination. While en route I used x-xxx. I was in contact with ZZZ3 at the time of occurrence, but identification not get radar vectors or advisories until after penetration into the restr airspace. I know it is not their responsibility to keep VFR flts our of restr airspace, but after a recent flight to ZZZ2 with flight following and very helpful controllers, I assumed the same assistance on this flight. I think ATC controllers could have offered a little more help since I had made my intended route of flight known to a few controllers prior to this occurrence.

Title: AFTER A PARTIAL FSS BRIEFING, A VFR GA ACFT ON AN AIRWAY IS ADVISED THAT HE WAS IN PROX OF TFR RELATED TO A PWR PLANT LISTED IN THE PUBLISHED NOTAMS NEAR ZZZ, US.

Narrative: WHILE ENRTE FROM ZZZ, TO ZZZ1, I WAS CONTACTED BY ATC THAT I HAD VIOLATED THE EXPANDED XXX PROHIBITED AREA. I HAD CONTACTED FSS FOR A BRIEFING PRIOR TO DEP, BUT USING A CELL PHONE I WAS ABRUPTLY CUT OFF BEFORE FINISHING THE ENTIRE NOTAM PART OF THE BRIEFING. FROM THE TIME I HAD GOTTEN INTO ZZZ2 AIRSPACE I WAS IN CONTACT WITH ATC FOR RADAR ADVISORIES AND CONTINUED THIS PROC UNTIL DEST. WHILE ENRTE I USED X-XXX. I WAS IN CONTACT WITH ZZZ3 AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE, BUT ID NOT GET RADAR VECTORS OR ADVISORIES UNTIL AFTER PENETRATION INTO THE RESTR AIRSPACE. I KNOW IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP VFR FLTS OUR OF RESTR AIRSPACE, BUT AFTER A RECENT FLT TO ZZZ2 WITH FLT FOLLOWING AND VERY HELPFUL CTLRS, I ASSUMED THE SAME ASSISTANCE ON THIS FLT. I THINK ATC CTLRS COULD HAVE OFFERED A LITTLE MORE HELP SINCE I HAD MADE MY INTENDED RTE OF FLT KNOWN TO A FEW CTLRS PRIOR TO THIS OCCURRENCE.
