Updated on 12/9/22
IMPORTANT NOTE: WE NO LONGER RECOMMEND ENROLLING FOR THE LIFELINE FREE GOVERNMENT CELL PHONE PROGRAM OR THE AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY (ACP) PROGRAM AT STREET EVENTS. THEY HAVE BEEN THE SCENES OF FAR TOO MUCH FRAUD AND ABUSE. SAVE YOURSELF A LOT OF POTENTIAL TROUBLE BY ENROLLING ONLINE OR BY PHONE.
Question of the day: Is there a website with all the dates and times of places where you can get a free government cell phone?
We have tens of thousands of readers here at FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net every day. And the question they’ve been asking most often recently can be summed up in this message from a reader named Crystal:
I’ve seen at different times tents set up at different locations where you can get an Obama phone right on the spot. Is there a website that will tell you the dates and places of where they will be set up for my area? I live in Phoenix, AZ.
The simple answer is no. We wanted to set up a FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net page to list the tent events held by the dozens of companies that compete in the Lifeline Assistance business. Unfortunately, that information is very hard to come by. And even if it was available, we would now be very hesitant to share it with our readers.
Why don’t all Lifeline Assistance companies offer this kind of information?
FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net is clearly the leading website dedicated to the Lifeline Assistance program. As we said earlier, we have tens of thousands of readers every single day of the year. And we simply don’t understand why ALL free government cell phone and ACP companies don’t make it this simple for their potential customers.
Well, that’s not strictly true. We do know the answer, but we just don’t like it.
We know that each Lifeline/ACP company handles its enrollment process in its own unique way. Some handle enrollment with their own employees (these are the only one’s we would trust). Others hire outside contracting companies that then hire their own full-time employees. And others damn near anyone who can walk, breathe, and hand you a pen and a form to fill out. But the biggest problem is all the complete scams being run by unscrupulous criminals who will do anything to make a quick buck and have absolutely no connection to any legitimate Lifeline or Affordable Connectivity Program service provider.
We know that all the major Lifeline Assistance companies read our site on a daily basis. We would still very much like to set up a Tent Event page that covers all the legitimate companies and their legitimate tent events. If only those companies made that information available.
C’mon, Lifeline companies. Post that information on your websites. Send us the info. Give our readers the kind of info that will make it easier for them to enroll and easier for you to enroll them. Let us publicize your legitimate events. Help us help you to sign up millions of financially-struggling Americans for Lifeline free government cell phones and ACP internet service.

Did you read the IMPORTANT NOTE we posted at the top of this article, John?
Amy Rinker says
What do I do if I have already signed up at a tent event and the device doesn’t work properly? I wanted to get the phone and then a tablet for $10 but every time I tried to sign up it would say it was approved and then I’d never get the email. I saw the guy I got it from again and asked if I should take it to T-Mobile and he very abruptly said, ” No bring it back to me and I’ll give you a new one”
Free Government Cell Phones says
We’re going to make a wild guess that your guy is a fraudulent dealer. Maybe it’s time for you to re-enroll with a different company. Any Lifeline customer can switch service providers at any time. Here’s an article that tells you how to make the switch from one provider to another:

Which provider and plan to choose? You can find all the providers and plans available in your state here:

Matt says
I am surprised your website is still actively telling people to avoid popup events because they are riddled with fraud. Could you please explain what kind of potential “fraud” takes place or could possibly take place at a free phone stand in 2023? You will not be able to give examples of fraud taking place as of now. Yes, back in 2015 there were Popup events pushing people through to receive the benefit they normally wouldn’t qualify for. Since then, the FCC has put measures into place to fight against any fraud. They implemented The National Verifier will attempt to digitally verify a potential customer is using receiving the qualifying benefit to receive the free phone service. If the National Verifier is unable to verify someone qualifies to recieve the benefit, they require additional proof the person trying to receive the benefit is partaking in a qualifying assistance program to be sent in by uploading the doc. A food stamps card or medical card is no longer proof. An award letter with the qualifying program, the start date of the program, and persons Name & address clearly listed. The date of the award letter must be visible as well. A live agent will review the documents closely. They verify all information needed is on the doc and check for any signs of alterations. The person attempting to enroll in lifeline must now have an unexpired government issued for of identification. The agent takes a pic of the ID and uploads it for the carriers staff to verify it’s unexpired and look for any signs of alterations. With these steps in place now, you have a better chance of someone using your info when you hand them your credit card at a fast food restaurant. If I am wrong, please share an example of fraud that is currently been know to take place at a tent event..
Free Government Cell Phones says
Where does it say you get to demand that we answer your pompous, puffed-up questions, Matt? Do you not understand the difference between legitimate Lifeline agents and scammers? If you are naive enough to believe that every agent out there hawking cell phones is actually an employee of a Lifeline company, and that no one is scamming innocent potential customers, we have a bridge we’d like to sell you. And you sound like you might buy it.
Matt says
Lol
John Sinclair says
I’d like to expand on what the Gurus have said here. To become a pop-up vendor you do not have to have any affiliation with Lifeline or ACP.
All the vendor(s) need to is to apply thru the city they are in for a temporary vendors permit that ranges somewhere between $100-$500.00
Once approved these vendors get their supply of phones directly from the government, not the manufacturers or providers.
This allows them to represent refurbished phones as new, and also not bothering to advise what the new customers number is or who their provider will be.
Instead the vendor9s) would much rather cram as many devices as they can give away, because it’s $8-$10commission depending on the device for each one given away, not to mention all the customer’s information that they sell at a nice tidy profit.
I doubt you will be able to dispute any of this Matt as I have helped about 30 Seniors file valid fraud claims thru the FCC.so far this month.
You’ve got a lot to learn kid! Good Luck to you!
Matt says
John, you might want to do some research before making statements on something you have no clue about. Every statement you have made is false and inaccurate. If you actually helped one senior citizen file a fraud claim you would have seen your wrong. First there is no such thing as a “popup vender.” There are independent agents that set up street events amongst other ways to market the programs. Agents are not required to purchase a permit of any kind. They are free to set up any where on city, state, or federal property. In fact, they do not need permission from anyone to set up. A permit is required when an individual is selling something. Agents do not sell. The enroll people into the lifeline and ACP program and sign them up for free service.
Agents DO have to be approved by FCC to enroll people and give away phones. Each agent is provided an ID number that’s attached to every enrollment they do.
As far as the phones being refurbished, they are giving away for free. No one is forcing anyone to take the phones. Free or refurbished they are giving for free. Agents make a lot more then $8-$10 commision. Not sure where you got that figure but your not even close. Agents on a low end recieve $20 per enrollment. High end of $40 per. Average agent is collecting $30 per. Who are these agents selling the customers info to? The only info they gather is name, address, bday, and last 4 of social. This is the same info if you go into a store to get a phone, get cable service or wifi at home. You can get a lot more info on someone from the dark web.
You have helped 30 seniors file fraud claims in the past month? Come on John, why make up stories. So you say you “doubt” I can dispute anything you stated? I dispute every statement you’ve made sir. You couldn’t be anymore inaccurate.
You have a lot to learn .
Free Government Cell Phones says
It looks like the John vs Matt cage match may be bigger than Musk vs Zuck.
John Sinclair says
Let’s start with Identity theft and work our way forward, shall we? This past weekend I watched a pop up vendor from Gen Mobile process 4 applications back to back with nothing more than using their food stamp cards for approval, so your statements are false to say the least.
Once again you’ve tripped over your bottom lip Matt!
Feel free to join the conversation again once you have the anal cranial inversion you’re obviously suffering from taken care of.
Have a Great Week!
Matt says
John, again you have no clue what your talking about. That’s great the vender approved people with just there food stamps card. A food stamp card or any proof of benefits is not required to enroll. Part of the enrollment process is ” The national verifier ” Wether someone enrolled online on there own or with an agent, proof of benefits is not required. The national verifier connects to each states local benefits department and cross checks that the applicant is in fact receiving assistance. As far as Identity theft goes, you can get the same info venders are collecting from someone Facebook page. To steal someone identity, you would need there social security number. John, please do research before speaking. You come across as not very smart. I’m not saying fraud doesn’t take place at a street event. I’m sure fraud does take place. Just not at the numbers your claiming. Please do some research before posting. I do not have the time nor the crayons to keep explaining reality to you.
Free Government Cell Phones says
We’re going to support John here. Documentation proving participation in programs is definitely required before approval. Check out this page from the official Lifeline website. It clearly spells out which documents are necessary:
https://www.lifelinesupport.org/documents-needed/
Yes, the “national verifier” is supposed to facilitate verification of eligibility, but it is a haphazard program at best. The states with the largest and second largest populations (California and Texas) do not participate in the national verifier program and many other states only partially participate. You can see more about the verifier program here:
https://www.usac.org/lifeline/national-verifier/#:~:text=The%20National%20Verifier%20(NV)%20is,through%20the%20Lifeline%20Support%20Center.
Finally, there is far more fraud than you seem willing to acknowledge, Matt. We have heard from hundreds, maybe thousands, of people who were scammed by unauthorized and/or fraudulent vendors. Google “Lifeline cell phone fraud” and you’ll get a couple million results. The FCC even has a page dedicated to explaining the types of fraud to watch out for. Here’s that link:
https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/cell-phone-fraud
And as you will see on the link above, there is also lots of fraud from people who do not legitimately qualify but somehow scam legitimate Lifeline companies.
Finally, who are you to tell John he didn’t see what he says he saw. We’ve been doing this long enough and have heard, read and seen so much reported fraud that we immediately tend to believe any new reports.

It’s actually pretty hilarious scrolling through the comments and responses to this post, it’s so blatently obvious the extent literally every commenter did NOT read/comprehend the very direct language expressed in the post and the answer to quite literally every comment before theirs. smh not all poor people are stupid, come on people don’t perpetuate a negative stereotype!
Scott says
As also stated above, not all “tent events” are set up to scam people. There are legitimate tent events set up with intent to only help others in need. Some do not have any other option to recieve a phone with service then to visit a tent event. The Lifeline & ACP program are in place to help EVERYONE have access to a working telephone and internet. Everyone includes those who do not have an address to recieve mail. Or those who are in transitional housing and constantly moving. The programs are in place to help those who do not have the time to wait for a phone to be shipped in the mail. Yes, there are some tents set up with the intent of commiting a scam. Lifeline, ACP, & the National Verifier have taken measures to combat those looking to take advantage of the programs. I’m also SMH. Not all ignorant people are stupid. So come on please don’t perpetuate a negative stereotype!

Diana Tanner says
Why when I transfer my service to another provider where they are going to mail me the free phone after I’ve been approved and verified, why does it seem like they always pick out the crappiest phone they have? I’ve received phones that are not smart phones but are just like the ones that I first used to get when the Lifeline.program was just beginning. But everyone I see who signs up with the same company as me and got their phone from a tent stand has a recently released phone with a super big screen and lots of space for files and the Android operating system is the latest release. SafeLink has done this repeatedly.
Free Government Cell Phones says
All Lifeline companies are required to provide their customers with smart phones. If you get something less than that, you should file an official complaint.

Richard StJohm says
People like me who need the lifeline phone read this crap and just want to scream. I signed up online and what did i get? Totally ripped off. They shut off my service that I had already paid for. They never sent me a SIM card. But they sure billed the government for a service they are not providing. The term for this is fraud. In the meantime I am homeless with no means of communication so this company could get a 30 day fee from the government for a service they never provided. I will take a live version event over a bullshit promise of, “we’ll mail it to you.”

Sounds like you were ripped off, but did they take any money from you? We would recommend that you contact any Lifeline service provider’s customer service team to find out if you name shows up in the national Lifeline register. If not, you are free to re-enroll with a legitimate service provider. But do not enroll at a street event. Only enroll online or by phone.

I literally have been scrolling thru the stupid and am so amused by your replies!! Like, shit, everyone else doesn’t know how to use a website or even read literally a few words that would answer the question they didn’t need to ask but asked it anyway.. can you tell me the meaning of life maybe? Can you maybe clue me in on lotto numbers? How bout your schedule? You available for a psych appt?! Lmao!!! I have about .2% patience for dumb fucks. I’m embarrassed that I have to call myself a human.. ugh! You made my day tho! Which says a lot about my pathetic existence.. but hey, at least I’m not asking where a tent is to get a phone 😬🤭😂 oh and that Norma bitch is burnt and needs some seerriioouusss exorcism type shit.

Clair Johnson says
I am a street agent in Tucson, AZ and work for a legitimate partner of Assurance Wireless, Global US Marketing. The owners work hard to hold outreach agents accountable with surprise visits and undercover auditing. If fraud is suspected, you are terminated immediately. This company is the last surviving tent group in the area that I know of because their culture centers around integrity, work ethic, and positive motivation. The owners encourage us to post our locations on social media, and I do daily. My understanding is that this method for communicating tent locations is common. I understand that this site wants to protect its viewers from fraud, but the reality is many street tent agents are on the move from place to place searching for areas to give lots of phones. Reporting a location can create issues if that spot has no activity and the agent packs up and relocates. It hurts their credibility and wastes the customer’s time. The other side might say report the location and wait for customers. I’ve done this for 8 and 10 hours a day and given out 2 or 3 phones to those who qualified. If I hadn’t posted those locations on social media I’d have left early in the day when hours passed without a single inquiry. Understand this is a service we provide to a vulnerable population, and also how we make a living. Today I sat in my tent in triple degree heat for 10 hours and gave out 3 phones. The statistics may not be in my favor, but there are legitimate street tent agents working just as hard to be found as customers who are trying to find them. There is a population out there without stable living conditions and having a phone shipped in the mail is not possible so a street tent is their only option. Arguably there are more websites with inaccurate and misleading information. Should the same population you are discouraging to look for street tents then be discouraged from following your advice or believing the content on this site because many sites or blogs like this have an agenda driving misleading info? As with any exchange of personal information, customers should proceed with caution. All street agents should have credentials in the form of a badge that are uniquely identifying with agent specific letters or numbers. Customers should ask the name of the company the agent works for rather than assuming the agent works directly for the carrier. If something seems suspicious the customer should get in touch with the employing agency and verify the agent’s credentials. Rather than discouraging people from obtaining a phone from a street tent perhaps suggesting that they explore the agent’s employing company and legitimacy of their credientials could allow customers another safe option to persue their lifeline benefit as well as lifting this black mark of fraud placed on all outreach agents working from a street tent. Trust me the job is difficult enough without all the bad publicity. Additionally the formation of street tent agents is the result of a need out in the world for those without phones to easily call in an application, those with barriers to completing an online application, and those who have no way to receive the phone by mail. At least inform them that there can be a way to safely receive a phone at a street tent. Then you would truly be communicating accurate information. Also, anyone seeking a street tent should try a quick facebook search of free phones, lifeline, or obamaphone. They might find an agent like me trying to be found.
Free Government Cell Phones says
We don’t deny that there are legitimate street agents out there, Clair. You sound like a great one. But there is no way for customers to know the good from the bad. You want to sign them up the day they show up. The odds are against anyone going home, taking the time to determine who is good and who is bad and then coming back to find you to enroll. With that in mind, we choose to protect our readers by urging them not to take any chances. That being said, if you are as legitimate as you seem to be, we wish you the best of luck.
Mona says
I have applied for free phone service by contacting the service provider by phone, online AND by signing up at a street vendor/ kiosk location…
The BEST service and the easiest way to receive a free phone IMMEDIATELY has been by signing up for service at a street kiosk.
BY FAR ….
There is nothing that guarantees quality customer service and immediate customer satisfaction better than interacting with a vendor face to face.
That outsourced customer service crap is absolutely the least reliable with no recourse for deceptive and failure to follow through with services promised from some tech support employees in Bangladesh.
Furthermore, most “street vendors” work the same location day in and day M-F so they know they will be held accountable by unsatisfied customers.
Dissatisfied customers confronting them about bad phones or bad service will definitely destroy any chance of signing up new customers and those sellers do not profit if they do not satisfy every customer they manage to rustle up.
Free Government Cell Phones says
We won’t waste much time on this answer, Mona, because you obviously have some sort of relationship with the street vendor end of the free government cell phone business. If you are unaware of the vast number of fraudulent enrollments and vendors who are complete scam artists, you should educate yourself. Scroll down the comments here and it becomes obvious that many, many people have been scammed. You can reply to this and argue all you want, the facts are the facts. We’re trying to save our readers tons of heartache. You clearly have a different goal.
Suzanne (Manager) says
HI, Clair,
Our Office is looking for someone who can look professional when they are here. We have an office that is safe and private and we used to have phone reps that would come once a week for 4 hours a day (9am to 1pm, usually) and they would sometimes get 12-15 signups in a day. However, they started to get unreliable and then they decided to leave their respective companies. If you or any of your coworkers are interested in being in an office once a week (or twice a month, whatever works) and taking advantage of our advertising, as well as helping to advertise that location, together, we can get a lot of signups. You MUST be reliable and show up when you say you will. If you are interested, stop by (ADDRESS DELETED). We will definitely talk with you. Thank you.

Sorry, Suzanne, but we do not know who you are nor if you are legitimate, so we cannot allow you to recruit employees here.

Far too much fraud and abuse, Steve. We’ve had completely phony agents who didn’t represent Lifeline companies just gathering personal data to use or sell for identity fraud.

Free Government Cell Phones says
Most Lifeline companies offer BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone) plans that allow you to substitute your own phone for the phones they usually give to customers. Check to see if your friend’s service provider has such a plan. Then he can go out and purchase a very inexpensive flip phone and use it. But MAKE SURE the phone he purchases is compatible with his service provider’s network BEFORE he purchases it.

Mona says
I just read your comment about street vendors enrolling ‘obviously ineligible’ people because they get “paid a fee for each enrollment”.
The ONLY way a vendor can successfully enroll anyone in a program is by successfully enrolling them in the program.
Ineligible applicants are denied service on the spot and are told to contact the company to clear up any issues affecting their eligibility. Any questionable eligibility issues result in an automatic denial of service and prevents phone activation. The vendor does not approve a customer for service and vendors are not able to activate phones fraudulently. The company approves applicants and the company activates the phones which are then released to the customers; fully operable and functioning properly. Vendors cannot decide who qualifies. ID and proof of eligibility are submitted. People don’t have to take the sellers word that the phone will work properly when and if it finally arrives. They don’t have to rely on customer service. They walk away satisfied.
Customer service Reps are not as motivated or obligated to successfully resolve technical or complicated problems.
No indifferent, sarcastic idiot to put you on hold for an hour only to’ get ‘disconnected’ if you aren’t easily acquiesced.
Free Government Cell Phones says
One part of your comment is true: “No indifferent, sarcastic idiot to put you on hold for an hour only to get ‘disconected’ if you aren’t easily acquiesced.” But you neglect to say that if you enroll with a street vendor there are “No dishonest scam artists to rip you off and get all your personal information.” Telling the honest street vendors from the dishonest is an impossible task and we would rather keep our readers safe from the potential (maybe even likely) problems caused by the dishonest ones.

Free Government Cell Phones says
It’s almost impossible to find a service provider who still offers flip phones, Earma.

But make sure the one you purchase is compatible with the company you enroll with.

She was listed on USconnect what can she doe to get another phone

Where/When is there a tent in Oceanside, CA (92056)?? Do these events sometimes have better cell phones available? Or is there a better company for a better phone, than ASW. I am so sick of these CRAP phones they dole out. I know it’s a free service, and I can’t expect up to date products, but COME ON. I am legally blind and NEED a bigger screen than 4″. Most 6 year olds have a better phone than I do and it SUCKS. They just offered to send me yet ANOTHER 4″ screen Unimax crap phone with a 2mb camera. and four hour battery life. SHEESH. So frustrating. Thanks for any info you can help with!! Cool site!

Hi,
I recently lost my phone and I found it again and somebody had ran it over with their car I am looking to find out where I physically can find free government phones in Minneapolis Minnesota or the surrounding areas I did receive this phone from Brooklyn Center Minnesota at their government center but they said they’re no longer handing out free phones.
Thank you and have a great weekend.
Free Government Cell Phones says
Do you know who your service provider is/was? You need to get in touch with that company’s customer service team.
Tess says
Good morning,
I have tried calling all customer service for Access Wireless, I-Wireless several times and all I get automated machine. I have emailed several times and no response.
Do you have a event calendar on when they will be in the Minneapolis area handing out phones.
I’m very upset because I can only receive calls.
Thank you
Tess
Free Government Cell Phones says
You wouldn’t believe how many of our readers have complained about the same thing, Tess. It seems impossible to reach a live person at Access customer service.
One thing you might consider if you’ve had your free government cell phone for 60 days or longer — you can always switch to a new service provider that will actually make it possible to speak to a real person. Here are a couple articles that will tell you all you need to know. First, here’s how to switch providers:

I received my very first govt phone when this program was first introduced. Needless to say, it is like an antique.

Is there anyway I can get a newer model replacement phone?? Need it asap before it totally stops working all together. Thank you!!
Free Government Cell Phones says
You’ve been a customer for so long that your free government cell phone company may offer you a free replacement phone. If not, you have two choices. (1) Pay a small fee for a new phone. Or (2) Switch your service to a different free government cell phone company. That will make you a new customer and the new company will be required to offer you a new smartphone.

Okay, I’ll wait MORON!
Free Government Cell Phones says
We don’t feel any need to respond to ignorant, insulting people, but we’ll make an exception in this case. This program has been overwhelmed by fraud. A great percentage of that fraud originates with those street vendors. We didn’t say every street vendor participates in fraud, but many of them do. That fraud has been documented by government investigations, undercover television investigations and newspaper reporters. We would rather protect our readers than expose them to potential fraud because it’s impossible to tell the honest ones from the dishonest ones.

Free Government Cell Phones says
We’ve never been to South Carolina. We once visited Raleigh, North Carolina, but didn’t have time to make it down to the Palmetto State. We hear it’s beautiful this time of year.
But enough about our summer travel plans. We think you have mistaken us for a free government cell phone company. We’re not one. This is an independent informational website with ZERO affiliation to any Lifeline Assistance company.
That being said, we always strongly urge our readers to enroll online or by phone and to avoid free government cell phone street vendors like the plague. Too many problems with identity fraud and abuse of the program.

Glenda says
Lost a safelink phone. Their published policy clearly states the customer can receive one replacement phone for free. Called 15 days ago, and was assured a new phone was on the way. Called today after the phone has not been received, to be told that phone is not eligible for a replacement. Spent almost 3 hours on the phone trying to resolve this. Customer service keeps trying to tell me there is no one in charge of the call center to explain why they are not following their own policy. I’ve never been so frustrated.
Free Government Cell Phones says
Bad story, Glenda. Please keep us posted on your progress (or lack of). Our readers would be very interested.

It may be time consuming to call them all, but maybe you’ll get lucky and find it with calls to the first couple companies listed. Good luck.

Yes my name is Russell lee rodriguez and I am writing this on the behalf of one of your applicants who keeps herrassing me but I told her I don’t qualify because I’m only 18, and i have not established credit. she keeps calling me trying to get me to meet her up I’ve told her several times that being that I am only 18 and I don’t have credit I can’t do it even so she keeps herrassing me over and over and over again her number is 480 453 **** again 480 453 ****. she is an applicant of Phoenix area on the eastern metropolis part of the valley
Free Government Cell Phones says
The good news, Russell, is that you qualify if you are 18. The other good news is that no credit check is required.
The bad news is that you should be very wary of a rep who stalks you like that when it’s so easy to enroll by phone or online. The other bad news is that “we” do not have agents because we’re not a Lifeline free government cell phone company. We’re an independent website.
You can find a complete list of Lifeline companies in Arizona at the following link. Check them all out and enroll with the one that offers a plan that seems best for your needs.

I think they don’t post that info because they don’t reliably know. From what I understand it is up to the individual working the location to set their hours; they just have a minimum requirement each day, or week. Most people needing the phones say they can be found on the sidewalk outside of any GR (Welfare) office.
Free Government Cell Phones says
You’re close to the right answer, Jennifer. Most of the free government cell phone companies hire sub-contracting companies who hire the street agents. As you can see in many of the answers below, we think it’s much safer to enroll online or by phone.

Contact a Lifeline company from the comfort of your home, Debra. Too many cases of fraud and abuse originating at the street tents and booths.
Kristina says
entouch has a new link for their street events: https://www.entouchwireless.com/pages/lifeline_events_support
The customer service person told me that most of the entouch street vendors are employed by entouch to reduce fraud from independant contractors. i used the link to find a tent in LA and the guy there had an entouch shirt on and said he was an entouch employee.

In most cases, the free government cell phone companies do not hire the reps. They hire outside companies and it is those companies who hire the field reps. The only place we have seen these jobs advertised is on Craig’s List. Give it a try.
