The exciting new Affordable Connectivity Program begins today, March 1, 2022. Here are all the facts you need to know about qualifying, enrolling, benefits and more:
- The Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program was a temporary program, but its replacement, the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a permanent program with hefty federal funding. How hefty? $14.2 billion dollars.
- EBB ends on March 1, 2022 but it will immediately be repackaged and replaced under the ACP banner that same day.
- Congress did something right for a change and approved the new program on November 15, 2021.
- The ACP benefit will provide a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households. Some experts complain that the old EBB program offered higher $50 per month discounts, but remember that the EBB began in the depths of the Covid crisis and unemployment is much lower now than then. Of course, that little consolation to those who are still unemployed.
- Qualifying households on qualifying Tribal lands can receive discounts of up to $75 per month.
- Added bonuses: The Federal Communications Commission says, “Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.” How cool is that?
- Much like the Lifeline Free Government Cell Phone program, the ACP is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household.
- The free government cell phone program and the ACP are completely unrelated. That means you can qualify for both programs simultaneously.
- There are a lot of different ways to qualify. According to the Federal Communications Commission, your family can qualify if:
- Has an income that is at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines;
- Participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline;
- Participates in Tribal specific programs, such as Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, Tribal TANF, or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations;
- Is approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community
- Eligibility Provision in the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, or 2021-2022 school year;
- Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year; or
- Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating provider’s existing low-income program.
Timothy wind says
I need a cell phone, homeless, can’t afford a cell phone. Mine is going to be shut off may 28th
Free Government Cell Phones says
Will you have any permanent street address (such as a homeless shelter)? Unfortunately, one of the major glitches in the Lifeline program is that you need a street address to be eligible.
Please allow us to say for about the thousandth time, this is a really stupid rule because it eliminates the people who need free cell phones the most.
Pamela J Cagle says
Does SafeLink wireless have free unlimited minutes permanently?
Free Government Cell Phones says
Nothing lasts forever, Pamela. They could revert to a lower number of minutes if they wanted to, but it’s doubtful that they would or could because they must keep up with competitors.

Linda Merritt says
I didn’t get my free lifeline unlimited data text and messaged. But did receive my phone in which I like.

Still I look for (FREE) unlimited data + talk + text.
Help me 🥺 please . L Merritt.Get me set up soon! A.S.A.P
Free Government Cell Phones says
We’re not your service provider, Linda, so there is no way for us to know what the problem is. You need to contact that company’s customer service team. You can reach them by calling 6-1-1 on your free government cell phone, or online.

, ,
i am trying to Work be the best the top seller store at what ever position Im in become a distributor , manger , trainer , something I just want in to start the building of my massive empire .
Having there already working knowledge of how the sign up process works, I found in the short time i was able to work for one of the free government cell providers , i found i was great at it and my ideals of how to generate a steady flow of people were unbelievable .
i saw endless opportunities . . It is a difficult process to find you to apply , its the same three ones you see over and over with phones so small your child will not even take it (sorry but its true) its a waster of government funds quickly being used when you could simply give the people something of quality instead of what is being giving . i cant imagine the cost if any being much more or if at all for 2 inches more of phone with real features . you may or may not spend a few dollars but in the long run youll find people will not loose them so much hoping for a better phone or service ,. To do it right from then start seems so much better less work and more people would use the phones
i know you may want them to loose the phones ect . but heres what your not thinking about the longevity of the grants , what if your able to be paid on ther number you give and the number of months kept ? this saves money provides longer time with unlimitred plans , and to implement new ways of providing those who need . at some point even the no income can pay something if its worth it to them . you have no realintrest in the peiopole care what thery receive thats what i see when i look at all the misleading that go along with this service .
It could be great but its not , so theres more to the reasons than what im saying any way i still want a job maybe as a writer lol but pleaser someone who has unlimited talk text data not reduced after 5 GB thern down to 500mbpsd plz you have the tablet offer with the phone inter net for hoome , if you have mobile hot spot or virtual hook up options . id of oic of id or birth record or proof of service if no id a way to register by pic that go along with app. and a doucument they will sign pay salary plus percentage of all or indiv. its not much im not over the top im trying to choose the best company that has the most of the things im asking please reach out to me (EMAIL DELETED) i want to start tomorrow thats how badly i want to work thank you

Jacob says
I was accepted for LifeLine and I have a phone that I bought from T-mobile but they locked it and cancelled my service because I owe. I tried to sign up with Verizion but they said I would have to pay for taxes but they wouldn’t explain their packages or what I should do about my phone.
Any suggestions? Thank you.
Free Government Cell Phones says
We need a little translation, Jacob. Are you saying that you wanted to use a phone you purchased from T-Mobile as your free government cell phone, and that that phone is locked, and that they will not unlock it because you owe them money on a former T-Mobile account?
Jennifer says

So I should contact SafeLink about this? And after reading all these comments I didn’t know that you could get a way better tablet than what I’ve gotten from access telephone! Crappiest tablet was 1 GB ram! I’m going to have to do some research to find a better tablet I just need to fix my ACP benefit I guess.

Why can’t you talk to anyone? Are you saying that customer service doesn’t answer?
Donna says
Can I use ACP on a different phone, if my phone doesn’t work? By moving the sim card?
Free Government Cell Phones says
It depends on whether the two phones are compatible (whether they use the same national cell network).
Henry says
As long as both phones are able to connect to the same wireless network, the answer should be yes. The service is not tied to one single brand or model device. While each device does have a unique IMEI number, that should not be a part of your registration with the wireless provider. As from my experience with a relative who recently subscribed to Lifeline, the SIM card that was sent was inserted into an Apple 5C phone and failed to connect to T-Mobile. The phone may have been previously activated with AT&T. I purchased a Google Pixel 2 phone (unlocked) for my relative and inserted the SIM card into it and it works fine on that phone. I should be able to put the SIM card into another T-Mobile compatible phone model and it should work as well.
Emily Yvonne Walker says
I just got the ACP free service not long ago. But it got deactivated. I think because I forgot to call the beginning of each month. I remembered that when I called to get a free phone and the one I was talking to said I wasn’t receiving the free service. Not certain on how I wasn’t since nothing was wrong. Anyway, my phone is messing up. I think it got bent and the screen is now fading. I had no problems till I called to get a phone 3 or 4 days ago. The next morning I had no service. I have tried calling for three days now. I can’t get fully helped with the higher authorities because my phone keeps losing signal and hangs up. My # is 270 845 ****. My zip is 42058. My phone is a straight talk LG Stylus 5 that I bought and used instead of getting the free phone, because I had it already. I do think I managed to get a free phone being sent in the mail to me, but not certain. I need help getting my free ACP service reactivated, and to make sure the free phone is being sent. And, on my phone, I think I messed an important setting up because every time I turn off mobile data, a slash shows through the 4G sign up top. And I have net at home. I was told to turn off mobile data when I have available net to save data for my 1 to 2 days a week driving for an auction. I need, by the way, a phone that does well with Google maps GPS. So when I have to go out of town, I can find where I’m to go. I compliment my disability working one to two days a week. Also, I would like to look into getting an internet discount as well. I have Xfinity, and it’s becoming harder and harder to have enough $ to just go to the store with enough $ after I pay my bills, which is electric, water, trash, loan, burial, car insurance, internet, & Netflix. My late father left his home to me out of his 3 children, because I am disabled. Please message me through my gmail or messenger if you can. It’s hard for me to find someone else’s phone to use and call you for mine and the ACP free phone service. Hoping for a reply that can help. An email address, message, or something. Thank you for the service.

Donna Faye Bailey says
You can qualify for the Acp and Lifeline programs at the same time, but you won’t receive unlimited talk, text and data through Lifeline. That was my understanding. Please let me know if this is incorrect. Thank you.
Henry says
The offer from each service provider varies by state of residence. I do not believe that none of them offer unlimited talk, text, and data through the Lifeline program. This is the minimum service requirements established for the Lifeline program:
———————————————————————————————————-
The minimum service standards
Your company is required to meet these standards on Lifeline-supported services:
Cell phones: Either includes at least 1000 minutes for mobile voice or speed of 3G or better and usage of at least 4.5 GB per month for mobile internet (data plan)
Home internet: Speed of 25/3 Mbps and usage of at least 1024 GB per month
Bundled service offerings: At least one of the services (voice or internet) must meet the minimum service standards to qualify for a Lifeline discount
——————————————————————————————————————
Note that the Home internet benefit shown above is incorrect about the data amount. 1024 GB is actually 1 terabyte. It should be stated as 1 GB or 1024 MB per month. The Lifeline program is NOT that generous for a monthly subsidy payment of $9.25 per month.

Why did I receive a refurbished galaxy S10+ with a assurance Wireless sim card after signing up & being approved for ACP program? After getting approved for ACP on broadband or w.e. I did select assurance Wireless as a provider. They sent the phone in the box with a 2 way USB-C cable no wall piece. I put a Tmobile sim in and it worked then I put the assurance Wireless sin in and es sent a text saying xxx-xxxx was my number so I tried to make a call and it’s saying to use the service I need to program the phone?

SafeLink Is the WORST service I ever had had one bar n the customer service. DONT GET ME STARTED.. ONE MINUTE I NEVER GOT MY BENEFITS ALSO THEY TRANSFER U 50 TIMES N NOTHING RESOLVED THEY ALL ASK SAME QUESTIONS N THEY ALL GIVE U DIFFERENT ANSWERS
Lee Cox Fort Wayne says
Are you certain that the data plan is 1000 minutes of talk with 2 GB of data?
I have studied the lifeline and the emergency Broadband benefit program and also the affordable connectivity program for sometime. I believe that there are several providers who have a standard of unlimited texting with 4.5 GB of data in most states. And they have an option to give you between $350 to 1,000 minutes of talk. I don’t know if this is a requirement but the USA set some type of standards for minimum service. And I thought that they were supposed to be 4.5 GB of data with unlimited texting and 350 minutes of talk. I believe that the talk minutes were raised to 1,000 minutes last year but I see that several providers give only 350 minutes or 500 minutes.
Like like SafeLink wireless. SafeLink Wireless gives only 350 minutes of talk with unlimited texting and 4.5 gigabytes of data. But SafeLink Wireless does have the second best bundle of all the plans you can get if you put both your Lifeline benefit and your ACP benefit together. Assurance Wireless has the best bundle. You have to put your ACP and your lifeline together. Assurance Wireless gives you 35 GB of high-speed data with another 10 gigabytes of hotspot data plus unlimited talking and texting.
SafeLink Wireless gives you 25 GB of high-speed with 5 GB of hotspot plus unlimited talking and texting.
I don’t believe safe Wireless gives tablet. Assurance Wireless was getting a pretty good tablet for the ebb program. A 10-in Coolpad Tasker tablet. It did not have data or mobile data connection. You could access the internet only through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or cable tethering. Terracom wireless has the best tablet by far of anyone it’s a $300 Samsung tablet and one of the very few name brand tablets in the program. They give out a sm-t 307 2020 Tampa Bay 8.4 in Samsung tablet. Like Assurance Wireless and most companies who offer tablets the cost is $10 and one penny. I don’t know if you can I owe you the money or not. Some companies were doing that.
Terracom Wireless gives 20 GB of high-speed data for their mobile data plan on the tablet. So does City Communications and tone Communications and Cathect Communications. Those last three companies give 20 GB of high-speed data also for their tablets and they are all sister companies. They give a tablet which is called a NUU TAB 8 tablet. It’s pretty decent from the specs and things I read. It is maybe the fourth most valuable tablet in the program as far as the ones which are available in my state of indiana. But some people may want that tablet instead of a couple of others ahead of it because it gives enough data. But if you have Wi-Fi then you won’t need many gigabytes of mobile data on your tablet. Boost Mobile gives us a second most valuable tablet in my state which is an Alcatel Joy Tab 2 tablet worth $50 or more. Pain activation fee of around $25 and maybe $12 in tax. This still will cost under $50. If you cannot get the terracom wireless tablet deal you might want to go with Boost if you can afford $50 because some tablets are cheap and you do not want them.
Q Link Wireless and truconnect Wireless and Dailytel Inc, and MAXSIP I’ll have cheap tablets and I warn you against getting these tablets. They are not worth getting. And it will prevent you from getting a tablet from another provider. But if you get one return it as soon as you can and tell them that it wasn’t you that it went to that it went to someone else. Whatever you have to do. Because you will be cheated out of the $100 copay assistance that the ACP program will pay to help you get a tablet.
Stand up wireless has a good tablet. It is not a name brand flagship tablet but it is a good quality tablet. It’s just not easy to find a shockproof case which fits it very well. A friend of mine got one and we are looking at the LG g pad v480 to see if we can buy one of those cases and adapt it. We will have to use double-sided tape and things to make sure it doesn’t fall out of the case maybe.
Stand up wireless gives a sky devices elite optic tablet. It has very good specs. Android 11 with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of rom. And the performance is good and the graphics are good.
I have seen a tablet from trueconnect and they are cheap Sunshine t1 tablets.
Newphone wireless and Cintex Wireless our sister companies. They have been known for some decent phones and they are now giving out Alcatel joy to have one tablets. But like a lot of other companies they talk about unlimited data but I can’t pin down how many gigabytes of high-speed data they give. Because even if a company gives you unlimited data after you use the gigabytes of high speed data it may slow down drastically. Depending upon what the speed is after the gigabytes of high speed data is used it might be a slow speed or a very very slow speed. You also should be responsible enough to learn some things about your devices. And learn how to uninstall or disable apps that you don’t need. And go into your settings and reduce the background data and battery usage on 80% of your apps. Learn which ones you can do this with. And you can use Facebook on your browser. You can message from Facebook on your browser. You can then uninstall your Facebook app in your Facebook Messenger app which sucked down battery and data.
terracom Wireless also has a very good Lifeline plan. 500 minutes of talk with unlimited texting and 4.5 GB of data. And they will give you a free BLU or Maxwest dual SIM card phone. Worth about $80. The second SIM card slot may be unlocked. I checked three of them and they accepted SIM cards from other providers. This is unheard of. It also comes with a case and a screen protector. But you should get a very good case and screen protector for any device you have. You can find cheaper versions of things on AliExpress or banggood. Or it might even be wise to buy a slightly used screen protector case if they have taken good care of it. Be sure you have buyer protection and the person has a very good reputation.
Cintex and Newphone have advertisements which say that the tablet they give out is refurbished and then I saw one which said it’s brand new so ask the company before you buy. It may still be worth buying even if it’s refurbished but you may have better options like terracom Wireless or boost mobile. Ask a provider what kind of device they are giving even if they were giving one device for the ebb program they may now be giving in different device for the affordable connectivity program. Terracom Wireless and Assurance Wireless are two providers who have temporarily pause their tablets during the transition between ebb and acp.
You can see some of the providers who offer tablets or laptops if you type the phrase affordable connectivity program providers by state. Some of the ones with checkmarks sell laptops or tablets for $10 up to $50. Some with check marks May not.
If you type the phrase affordable connectivity program providers near me you enter your city and state or your ZIP code not both. You’ll see dozens of providers. Some may be the same company with two names. You will have to contact each and see how much they charge for their device or if they offer one at all.
And how much gigabytes of high speed data come with the device? If they offer a tablet is it a 4G LTE connectable tablet? If so can you get it unlocked? If so how long will that take? Because you can go to one provider who offers a tablet and if they do not offer enough data and their tablet is good like Boost Mobile you may want to transfer to a different provider who offers more data. But you may not have the tablet unlocked. But there are companies who will unlock tablets or phones for a fee. And sometimes devices which are a year or older may not cost you very much to get these devices unlocked. The unlocking company is one but I don’t know if they are the cheapest. You must also consider if you are using a company for unlocking does it have a guarantee and a good reputation?
And ask the lifeline or affordable connectivity program provider that you choose if they offer one plan for lifeline and another for affordable connectivity program?
And then ask them if they offer a better plan if you bundle together your lifeline and your ACP benefits?
Remember the two best plans to bundle together are Assurance and Safelink. My insurance has been taking weeks to get their phones to some people. My cousin took 6 weeks to get her phone. I saw this with another person, but waiting on Assurance and being patient will be worth it in the long run if you can get another phone. You may be able to also sign up with a different Lifeline provider and I don’t know but you may be able to use a different provider until insurance sends their phone to you. And then you may be able to switch over once you get the phone. But you will have to check into this. Because if you sign up with one provider. And then you sign up with insurance wireless it may cancel your first provider at least when the plan turns over each month.
Assurance has been giving better phones than the unimax UMX 693 CL phones which they were giving out. Some people got Moto G Pure phones. A couple of people on YouTube posted videos of getting these Moto G pure phones. I know people who got Schok Volt SV55 phones, even for just standalone Lifeline plan which is using your lifeline benefit but not including your ACP benefit together with it. Or Assurance Wireless has also been given out Wiko phones. Like many providers they give out different phones depending upon the time period and what is available. But several providers typically have a few certain phones they give out.
Assurance Wireless and terracom wireless operators told me they would be giving out their tablet offers again. I hope Assurance Wireless is going to kick it up a notch and offer a better tablet and they offered for the ebb program. They did offer a pretty good tablet. It was a Coolpad task or 10-inch tablet. I think they sell for about $130 or $150. But I believe they may be like a couple of other budget device companies who make devices which are as good as flagship companies who charge much more.
HUMAN-I-T and PCs for PEOPLE offer laptops for under $50. Because the ACP program will pay a $100 copay to help you get a laptop or a desktop or a tablet.
But you may have to buy a mobile hotspot device with these two companies. It has a one-time fee of about $80. But it may be worth it in the long run. Their data plan costs $10 or $15 a month. So you may be able to use the so-called change from the $30 switch the ACP program page per month to reduce the mobile data hotspot device cost. And overall it may cost some money but they give about 20 megabytes per second speed with uncapped data which is a good deal for $10.
You actually may be able to get two discounted laptops. You can get one from HUMAN I T or PCs for PEOPLE, although you will have to pay for a mobile hotspot device also.
And you can also purchase one from the Xfinity Internet Essentials plan.
Because the laptop you will get from PCs for People or HUMAN-I-T will be on a mobile hotspot device so it will have a mobile data plan. And the laptop which you get from Xfinity Internet Essentials from Comcast will have a home fixed Wi-Fi data plan.
If you want one laptop the best deal for most people, if Comcast covers your area, is to sign up for Xfinity Internet Essentials. It costs $10 per month. Uncapped data with 50 Mbps download speed and 10 megabytes per second upload speed. I tested the speed on the website of Big Bend Telephone of Texas and the average was about 5 Mbps higher than advertise. BTW, BBT of Texas offers a 10-in Amazon fire tablet for only $15. At least they did for the ebb program. But you must get a Wi-Fi data plan with them through ACP plan to get this.
It is an incredible $10 Wi-Fi plan which is usually enough for three or four people. If you learn how to increase the efficiency of your devices and uninstall unnecessary apps and reduce the background data and battery usage you can play three or four devices with videos on this Wi-Fi plan if you keep the resolution around 360 or 480 which should be enough for most people. Get this laptop that they are selling for $150. I think it ends in june. Scrape up the money. Even ask them if you can pay it on credit. I was transferred to a Dell person who didn’t know that there was a discounted laptop offer. So don’t get discouraged.
Other companies who offered discounted tablets for the emergency room and benefit program, and who may also still offer tablets for the affordable connectivity program include…
IT&E of Guam and the Mariana Islands offered an 8-in Samsung Tab a tablet or a 8 in Amazon fire tablet for $49.99.
Exchange Telecom of New York and New Jersey offered an 8-in ZTE zpad 4G LTE tablet for $49.99.
Localtel Communications of Wenatchee Washington offered a 10-in Lenovo tablet for the ebb program for $20 or $25.
TEAM MIDWEST THE INTERNET BRANCH OF THE MICHIGAN UTILITIES COMPANY MEC gives a 10-in Amazon fire tablet for $49.99 for the ebb program. They may still give it for the ACP program. But they are a Wi-Fi provider.
KINETIC by WINDSTREAM GAVE A GREAT TABLET FOR EBB, A SAMSUNG A7 or A7 LITE. For $20 or $25. They may still offer this for the ACP program.
Red pocket mobile offered two tablets for the EBB program. One was a good version of the Hyundai Hytab. Copay was about $35 or $40. It may have been the 10-inch 4G LTE version. Red Pocket mobile made now offer only a 7-in Alcatel tablet with a lackluster battery life.
Excess Telecom & Selectel Wireless were offering tablets for the ebb program. Maybe Hyundai Hytab tablets. But like other companies whether or not they offer a tablet for the ACP program and if it is the same tablet may be different. And the data plan for many companies is different for ACP than it was for ebb. For instance Boost Mobile gave 35 GB of high-speed data with 12 GB of hotspot data plus unlimited talk and text for the ebb program. But they now offer only 10 GB of high-speed data for acp. And not long ago I believe their ACP offer was only 7 GB of high speed data for ACP.
####################
You must also learn whether or not a provider will require you to commit both your Lifeline benefit and your affordable connectivity program ACP benefit. Or learn if they will require only one of these benefits. Because you may want to use your ACP benefit with one provider to get a tablet or a laptop. And then you may want to use your Lifeline benefit with a different provider to get a good “standalone” lifeline plan.
You can use your Lifeline benefit or your ACP benefit for a mobile data plan, or for a fixed home Wi-Fi data plan.
For most people the best route is to pay out of pocket for your home fixed Wi-Fi data plan, because many providers offer a low income reduced cost Wi-Fi plan for $10 per month up to $20 per month. And you do not need to use your Lifeline or ACP benefit for this with some providers. But if you choose to use your Lifeline or ACP benefit to pay your home Wi-Fi, it’s probably best to use your Lifeline benefit which pays 925 per month because if you use your ACP benefit it pays 30 per month so you would be throwing $20 away if your home Wi-Fi plan costs only $10 per month. Be aware you will not be able to use that to get a phone plan. And phone plans are more expensive. You should have in any state several providers who offer a standalone Lifeline plan of 350 to 1,000 minutes per month with unlimited texting and 4.5 GB of data. This is a great deal for 9:25 per month.

MOST OF YOU GUYS ARE ON MEDICAID. DO YOU REALIZE YOU CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF YOUR MEDICAID? YOU CAN DO THE QUIT SMOKING PROGRAM. WHETHER YOU CHEW OR SMOKE OR WHATEVER ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS MAKE SEVEN TOTAL CALLS. IF YOU HAVE CERTAIN INSURANCE COMPANY FOR MEDICAID THEY WILL PAY YOU UP TO $165 TOTAL IN FOUR DIFFERENT PAYMENTS. Some Medicaid companies pay $100 total for addiction treatment. $10 per treatment 10 visits. And you can do a yearly check up every year and get $20. You can immediately pay your $12 per year Medicaid out of that and have $8 left. You can now use these on line. You can pay your Wi-Fi bill with the VISA which is your rewards credit card or rewards debit card rather. You used to be able to use these only at Walmart and certain stores. But you can buy anything except alcohol tobacco and firearms.
It’s best to pay for your Wi-Fi out of pocket if you get a Wi-Fi plan between $10 and $20 per month. Which is the cost for many Wi-Fi providers low income based Wi-Fi plans. By paying for your Wi-Fi out of pocket this allows you to use your Lifeline benefit to get a free monthly phone plan from one of the many companies who specialize in the lifeline program. And I think about every state has a few to several providers who specialize in lifeline and will give you $350 to 1,000 minutes per month of talk with unlimited texting and 4.5 gigabytes of data for internet access. And some of them will give you a free Lifeline phone. Even if you’ve previously had a free Lifeline phone. Many of us know you used to get one Lifeline phone per person per life. Now that has changed because of the money flowing from ebb. A few providers like terracom Wireless may even give you free smartphones for lifeline which have unlocked features. I tested three phones that I signed up friends for with terracom wireless. And the second SIM card slot accepted a card from a different provider.
So it’s best to pay for your Wi-Fi out-of-pocket. So you can use your lifeline to get a phone with a free monthly phone plan.
And you can use your ACP to get a tablet for $10 and look for a provider who gives 20 GB of high-speed data for the tablet unless you have home Wi-Fi then 10 GB may be enough.
Standup Wireless and Boost Mobile give good tablets but only 10 GB of high-speed data.
So paying $10 out of pocket for your Wi-Fi and not using your Lifeline benefit or your ACP benefit to pay for your Wi-Fi Xfinity Internet Essentials plan costs $9.95 per month. If you need to use one of your benefits to pay for it use your Lifeline benefit. Because the lifeline pays 925 per month. So you would owe only 70 cents per month. You may even be able to ask them to write it off.
Xfinity Internet essentials cost $10 a month with free modem and installation. They also offer you the opportunity to buy a new deal laptop for $150. Either a 3120 latitude worth 350 or 400. Or a 3100 Chromebook worth around $300.
Many Wi-Fi providers have their own low-income base reduced cost Wi-Fi plans between $10 a month and $20 a month. If Comcast is not cover your area AT&t has a program called access.
And Cox Communications has a connect to compete plan. They may have one for school children and another for adults.
Cox also gives out a laptops for people but you may not be required to buy a mobile hotspot device internet covers your area you may want to use them for the ACP program so you can get a laptop for under $50.
Mediacom has connect to compete. And several other Wi-Fi providers have low income plans for under $20 per month.
Some may allow you to buy your own modem / router which you can buy used in good shape if you know which second hand size to shop on.
Mercari, Poshmark, Newegg, Backmarket…
Even Facebook marketplace can have good deals but some people on there are dishonest and you need to have buyer protection and no exactly the details of how when you spend money you get protected. And you can check on Alixpress and banggood.
RUGGED PHONES ARE THE WAY TO GO. SOME CHEAP RUGGED PHONES YOU MAY WANT TO GET…
BV8800 blackvue recent rugged phone can still be found under $150 on banggood or under $270 on aliexpress.
In the US many people are selling them for $400 to $500. There is a banggood website which may be a Us website you may still get it for $300.
The blackview bv4900 pro is decent. And the plum Gator 7 seems to be an updated version of that. But there are some complaints and some people praising these phones.
The iiiF150 has a model for $109 which may be even cheaper now which seems to be an updated version of the F-150 Oukitel rugged smartphone. It’s known to be ugly but they say it grows on you and the specs are amazing and at $100 I don’t think it can be equal.
Oukitel has a $200 rugged tablet with great specs.
Get used to using the website’s AliExpress and banggood. If you don’t make big purchases you won’t get a tariff tax and if you know how to use buyer protection these websites have Superior products and prices to eBay in america.
UMIDIGI BISON…
HAMMER maybe a rugged phone which is cheap in Poland.
Ulefone armor
King Kong Cubot…
These are some rugged devices you should look into. And if you want a tablet with Superior price and specs to the American flagship models check out these brands…
Blackview…
Alldocube…
Teclast
Always get cases and screen protectors for your tablets and your phones. Always get screen protectors and shells protective shells and sleeves for your tablets and laptops.
And you can find alternative versions. You don’t have to buy the expensive ones. Sometimes people will sell brand new ones they cannot return to get their money back.
And sometimes if you can’t find a specific fitting shockproof case for a decent tablet like the sky tablet which stand up wireless gives out for the affordable connectivity program you may be able to research the exact dimensions.
A tablet may fit the case of another tablet if the other tablets LinkedIn with are not much longer maybe one two three millimeters longer or wider.
But if you need a screen protector for a tablet or a phone make sure you get one from a different phone which is just a little smaller. That is if you cannot find a specific one for your model of phone or tablet.
Sometimes the one made for your model of phone or tablet maybe too expensive and you may want to get a cheap alternative.
There are also cut to fit screen protectors. Protecting your phone not only makes it usable for emergency situations but it also makes it more valuable for trade in or sell later.

How can I get this new phones from y’all today

Regina Hawk says
I just applied through Safelink last week, was approved for a new phone and service. Then I called them which took many days to actually talk to a live person. Their customer service was horrible. They had my address wrong and told me no free phone only service in Michigan. So not sure what is going on since this page says there is a free phone and they are saying no there is not. Please let me know what is going on. I am trying to figure this thing out and my phone is not working. I can only use the internet through my laptop since my phone is broken. This is so frustrating. When I really need help I feel like I need to jump through hoops and more hoops and more hoops. How hard can this be???????
Free Government Cell Phones says
We just confirmed that Safelink is still doing business in Michigan.
Bob says
How do I apply for the ACP?
Free Government Cell Phones says
Through the website of any participating company.

You can apply at the website – acpbenefit.org which is managed by USAC.

MARY McGEE says
i need to have my phone replaced because it is brocken. I can’t use it because it keeps shutting off .
Free Government Cell Phones says
Contact your service provider’s customer service team to see what they are willing to offer. If it is not satisfactory you always have the option of switching to a different service provider. The new provider will give you a replacement smart phone.
Tracey klimczynski says
I qualify for acp but I can’t remember which provider I went with. Not to mention what now. Do I get smart phone and so many things I missed. Either I was sloppy about technicalities or provider thought it wasn’t important. I haven’t had my phone since 3/8 and am in a lot of trouble. All I have is this tablet .I need some answers. I’ve worked tirelessly to comply but my provider total wireless says they can’t get past security check w/out last 4 #’s of debit card in last 90 days. I have no bank account much less debit card. I buy phone service cards w/scratch off pinn for my service. Please advise how to check my status & who did I apply to and do I get service & phone right away. How do I find all that out?
Free Government Cell Phones says
If you attempted to enroll but have not yet been approved, we honestly do not know how you would find out who your service provider is.
I’ve been trying for almost a week now to order a free flip phone for seniors through Q link and I can’t seem to do it. I also need a free tablet says
I’ve been trying for almost a week now to order a free flip phone for seniors through Q link and I can’t seem to do it. I also need a free tablet
Free Government Cell Phones says
Are you aware that the company was raided last year by the FBI? Is there a reasons why you are specifying Q Link? Will a different Lifeline company in your state suffice? If so, here’s where you can find all those service providers:

Melody Bowe says
I just need a phone, already have service
Free Government Cell Phones says
You can either enroll in a plan that offers SIM cards instead of phones.
Ronald Rawlins says
I requested an application for the free (EBB) program, completed it and mailed it in over one month ago, and I have not received a reply back from them. How can I check the status of my application?
Free Government Cell Phones says
EBB is a thing of the past, Ronald. As the article on this page tells you, it has been replaced by the new ACP program.
Thomas Ridley says
I have a basic cellphone on safelink wireless and would like have a smartphone with the A.C.P program can I Receive one.
Free Government Cell Phones says
Contact Safelink to find out what is being offered:
https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net/free-cell-phone-providers/safelink-wireless
ACP advice says
They should have given you a smartphone. If you mean you have an old phone you should be able to get that replaced. Sometimes they will tell you no but sometimes you can go to another provider and get one. If you have only stand alone Lifeline service with SafeLink they don’t get very many minutes. They give only 350 minutes for their lifeline plan. But if you want to use both your lifeline and your ACP together safely has a great plan. They are number two.. Assurance Wireless gives the best bundle if you use both your ACP and your Lifeline benefit together 35 gigabytes of high speed with another 10 gigabytes of hotspot data plus unlimited talk and text. SafeLink has the second best bundle plan with 25 GB of high-speed and 5 GB of hotspot plus unlimited talk and text.
Terracom Wireless if they cover your state is probably the best way to go for most people. You will get 500 minutes of talk with unlimited text and 4.5 GB of internet data and a free smartphone. They give one of the better free smartphones for lifeline. A BLU or Maxwest dual SIM card capable phone. Three I checked out had unlocked second SIM card slots which would accept SIM cards from different providers. And terracom wireless is supposed to again be offering the tablets for the ACP program which they offered for the EBP program. Some people do not want the tablets but they qualify for the ACP program. The ACP program will pay $30 per month for a Wi-Fi or a mobile data plan. If you or anyone you know doesn’t want the tablet but you qualify I know someone who will pay the co-pay which is $10 plus give $50 for it because they got a cheap one from qlink Wireless or Truconnect Wireless which broke. Text to threetwothree, sevenninezero, nineatethreenyne. In the first text say it is about the tablet for ACP so I know it’s not spam. But I do not want to get one for my friend if you need your own tablet. This is only for people who qualify but do not want the tablet. After you sell the tablet you can transfer your $30 per month data benefit to a different provider. And terracom wireless and City Communications or tone Communications or CATHECT COMMUNICATIONS which are three sister companies offer 20 GB of high speed data for the ACP plan. This is a lot of data for a mobile data plan for acp. Most providers offer 10 GB of high-speed data or less for acp. If SafeLink is not giving you a smartphone there are several providers in your state who probably will. It used to be such that you could get only one Lifeline free phone for Life per person but now there has been a lot of money flowing from the ACP program and the ebb program. Life Entouch, Standup, assurance wireless. And there are some companies who have good standalone Lifeline plans but they do not offer good ACP plans. Q Link Wireless and trueconnect you have cheap tablets which aren’t worth it. I believe Dailytel tablets are probably cheap also because they have their own made in China they told me. This doesn’t mean they can’t be great trying to make some awesome tablets and a lot cheaper than American tablets with superior specs. But I think they are cutting corners. Another couple of companies whose tablets aren’t as good as they should be include red pocket mobile who used to offer a second good tablet. And MAXSIP.
If you see my very long post above I included a lot of information which will save a lot of people a lot of headache and it will get people the best data plans and the best devices.
brian volz says
I have safelink free goverment phone and service and on the 3rd of march it lost connection with the carrier with is AT&T and service was restored it took 4hrs the next day it happen again ,I have not been able to make or recieve calls since ,Now safelink has concluded that something is wrong with the phone and suppose to send a new one ,it has taken over 20 hours on the landline phone to get this resolved, now safelink has taken my Affordable Connectivity Program funds from my internet supplier SPECTRUM and give it to safelink ,HOW CAN THEY DO THIS? I thought Safelink was a free Goverment SERVICE
Free Government Cell Phones says
That should not happen. Have you spoken to Spectrum customer service to see what’s up? (We would have told you to contact Safelink customer service, but it sounds like you’ve already spent more than enough time going that route.)
Robert Hancock says
I have a free phone from tru connect its 3 years old and recently the battery won’t take a charge. I called them and they said they were not part of the free phone program and were bought out by tmobile. What do I do now, I still have their phone. They don’t want it. What do I do now?
Free Government Cell Phones says
You can enroll in any other Lifeline plan at any time. Here’s an article that tells you exactly how to do it:
https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net/faq/how-do-i-switch-lifeline-providers
And don’t worry about the phone. There is no need to return it.
