FAQ
How Do I Get a Free Phone?
You could qualify to receive a free cell phone by signing up for the governmental aid
programs like the Lifeline Program, or through select nonprofit entities, charities, and
foundations. You will have to apply and pass certain eligibility requirements, which are
often a determination by how much you make, or your participation in a qualifying program.
What Is the Lifeline Program?
It is a U.S. federal program which aims to allow the low-income group and households to have
access to basic communication services through the provision of free or reduced-rate phone
as well as broadband services.
Who Is Eligible for Lifeline?
Usually, you qualify for the Lifeline Program by your income, or by your participation in a
federal benefit program. You are already enrolled in Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) program, or another such governmental program — or households with
a household size of fewer than 135% of the poverty level — may qualify.
Which Documents Are Required to Apply?
You are required to provide several things when you are making your claim, such as a valid
photographic ID, proof of earnings (tax forms, wage slips, etc.), proof of residence, and
forms indicating benefits received as a result of governmental schemes. You submit these
forms as a means of indicating your eligibility.
Which Phone Carriers Offer Free Phones?
There are a number of telecom service providers which are included in the Government
programs of free phones, i.e., Assurance Wireless, Safelink Wireless, Q Link Wireless,
AirTalk Wireless, Cintex Wireless, and TruConnect. Those carriers are registered through
programs such as Lifeline and the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) to enable the
eligible subscribers to stay connected.
