You can get a job that pays up to $1000 per week handing out free government cell phones. That’s right, helping people in need, and making great money.
Cash in on the booming Lifeline cell phone business! Tens of millions of free cell phones have been given out to Americans in the last six years. Companies like Safelink Wireless, Budget Mobile, Assurance Wireless and dozens of others are profiting from the program, and so are the many thousands of people, just like you, in communities across the country who are signing up those who can’t afford their own phone and service.
Yes, you too can be a high-earning free government phone program sales representative. Both part-time and full-time jobs are now being advertised in city after city in virtually all states. Most positions simply involve enrolling people into the Lifeline program by working at sidewalk tents outside government assistance offices, shelters, churches, flea markets, community centers and other high traffic areas in and around your neighborhood. Often no experience at all is required.
We can’t promise how much you will make, but the ads we’ve seen often say that you can make upwards of $500 to $1,000 per week, based on commissions of between $5 to $10 per customer you enroll. Considering that customer enrollment takes just minutes, those five and ten dollar bills can add up in no time. And how difficult of a sale is it to sign up someone for a program that gives them something for nothing, with no contract? This sounds to us like the easiest sales job ever.
Where to Find Job Listings for Handing out Government Cell Phones
Some Lifeline phone companies will directly hire members of their “street team.” For example, you can take a look at the job opportunities page for the Budget Wireless Street Fleet team, as they call it, by clicking here. You’ll see that they are hiring representatives to work in Sales, Canvassing, Street Teams, Promotions or Community Outreach.
But other companies work through top-level distributors and agents, who advertise their job openings through online ads, most popularly on craigslist.org. Searching your local Craigslist ads is the best place to find Lifeline phone sales opportunities, both working directly with a company or through an agent.
You won’t find positions advertised in every city, but chances are if you are in a large urban area with a heavy low-income population, you will find a company or agent how could have a job for you. It only takes all of just a few minutes to check Craigslist, so there’s no reason to not give it a try.
How to Find Job Openings on Craigslist
Here are step-by-step instructions to see if anyone in your area has posted an ad for a Lifeline phone sales representative.
Step 1: Go to Craigslist.
Key http://craigslist.org into your web browser’s address bar to bring up the main Craigslist page.
Step 2: Focus on a geographical area
On the home page you’ll see a map and below that a list of hundreds of cities and counties that craiglist covers. Click through to the area that best serves where you live, or where you are willing to travel for work. (If you are already a Craigslist user, you’ll possibly be already on the page for your area, automatically.)
Step 3: Search
In the search area at the top left of the page, you can select from various categories with which you can narrow your search. The primary category is of course, “Jobs,” although we have found some positions advertised in the “Gigs” category as well.
Now you have to decide what words put in the search box. You want to bring up ads that have words in them like “Lifeline” and “phone” (Lifeline is the official program name) and “free phone.”
Searching with Lifeline Phone will bring up a small number of ads, as the search is pretty specific. But it will miss some ads that do not have the word Lifeline in it. So, you’ll want to also broaden the search with a search of Free Phone. This will return a very large number of ads — mostly ones that are not what you are looking for. But, you can find buried in the search results ads for companies looking to hire sales reps to enroll people in the free government cell phone program.
You are just going to have to scroll through a few pages of these ads, looking at the titles to see if any pop out at you. You’ll know them when you see them–they will have titles such as “Get Paid To Give Away Free Gov. Phones,” “Government Cell Phone Agents Needed,” and “Lifeline Assistance Cell Phones,” to share a few that we’ve seen. You can’t miss them. It’ll take a a few minutes, but you are job hunting after all and that takes some effort.
Caution: don’t key in “free phones” as a plural. Use the word “phone” singular. The singular will find ads that have either “phone” or “phones” in the ad. Using the plural will miss ads.
Even after all this, it’s possible that an ad might have been missed. If you want to continue, just try various search combination using the words, Lifeline, free, wireless, cell, etc. You’re just going to have to play around with a bit.
After you’ve tried those, you can also try keying in the names of the cell phone providers that do business in your state. To find this list of company names, begin by selecting your state by clicking here (https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net). After clicking on your state you will see a list of the companies in your state. So, you might search for Assurance Wireless, Budget Mobile, Safelink Wireless, Access Wireless, Reachout Wireless, and so on.
As we said earlier, some of the ads may not be in the Jobs category. It’s uncommon, but the Gigs and Events categories may contain an ad of interested. So you can use the pull down category selection to switch over to Gigs and then to Events.
The search results will be divided into ads found in the specific area you specified, followed by and ads in nearby areas. Those nearby areas may be of interest if you are able to travel to them for work, so be sure to take a look at them.
Step 4: Reply to the ad
The ads you find will have been created either by the wireless company itself or more likely an agent or distributor for a wireless company. They will provide for any one of several ways to reply to the ad poster.
Call: The ad may have a phone number listed for you to call.
Email: The ad may show an email address listed in the ad that you to will have to email.
Show Up: The ad may ask you to meet someone at a location for an interview.
Website: The ad may include a website address that the poster wants you to go to apply.
Reply to Ad: Many ads do not list a phone number, email or website address directly in the ad copy. In this case, look for the “Reply” button, usually located at the top left of the page. When you click this it will tell you how to reply to the ad. It may show an email address, phone number or website. If it’s an email, it may be a regular email address or it could be a Craigslist-generated confidential email address.
With any method of contact requested by the ad poster, please remember that as with anything on the internet, be very careful and use common sense. There are scammers on the web and you’ll never know when you’ll run into one. Be careful what information you give out and where you might meet someone.
How to Find a Job Directly on Wireless Company Websites
You can contact come of the companies directly about how you might be able to work for them in enrolling customers. Not all companies allow this, but we’ve listed below the companies who have a page on their website set up for this.
But not everyone we’ve listed might be appropriate for your job hunt — you’ll have to decide when you go to the page and read it. Some, like Budget Mobile, are very clear that you can apply to their Street Team sales force right on their page. But then some of the companies’ pages we’ve listed might only be looking for higher-level agents and distributors; i.e. those with a storefront already. Since we can’t be certain, we’ve listed all the ones that look like there is a chance you might be able to snag a street sales representative position by contacting the company.

Informative article above. Thanks, appreciate the useful information.
Eva says
I have had state phones through more than one company over years, though not more than one at a time. I have requested that my accounts be closed, none has been used for years. One company took 6 months to deactivate my phone when it got stolen, even though they said it was shut off. Now I have three companies all saying my account is closed, Assurance, Qlink, and Safelink, yet when I try to apply I get denied saying I have an active phone already. I cannot “access that information” when I ask which company, and when I contact the other phones offered in my state I’m told nothing is active. I’ve been fighting this for months now, any advice? I don’t have any of the phones and only know one of the phone numbers for account access.

You’ll need to contact each company to find out what their policies are. Some hire their own employees but many others work through independent distribution companies. You can also check Craig’s List, where the companies often advertise in the Help Wanted section.

Is safelink still a lifeline provider in CA? If their program was closed out, how does that affect my sign up as of today?

According to the Safelink website, it still offers service in California. What makes you think it doesn’t?

That’s probably something for your local police to handle, Helen. Sounds like a clear case of fraud to us.
Mark Greet says
He’s selling the upgraded phone from Assurancs Wireless. It has a faster processor, HD camera, bigger battery, screen saver, gorilla glass, updating android software, insurance for 1 year and a completely better phone, I don’t know that guy but I’m sure he also has to free phone also but they have a better phone that is sold..

both services are still active, but safelink will cancel your account after 6 weeks and if you had an account with qlink before they want you to Buy a replacement phone.
Tavius Allan DeSantis says
Id like to learn how i can earn money distributing phones. Im located in Upstate NY. I was recently approved for a free phone. The person who signed me up for the free phone, said they made 10$. Is this something that I could do?
Free Government Cell Phones says
We have no way to know what your capabilities are nor if any of the companies in your area are hiring, Tavius. In addition, you should know that we have changed our opinion since this article was originally written and now we strongly urge our readers NOT to enroll at street events.
Nicholas Roman says
Hello,
So where are you in ” UPSTATE ” NY???
I was born and raised in a suburb of Rochester. My hometown is Webster, N.Y. and I graduated from R.L. Thomas High School and went to M.C.C. and then R.I.T. B4 I entered the USMC.
If you have any questions I will give you the real skinny on the entire Lifeline Program as I am currently putting the finishing touches on my self published Ebook ” The Ruin My Lifeline Industry ”
A inside look and a peak behind the veil of secrecy into organized deception that makes the Bush-Clinton dynasty look like freekin beginners…

Perhaps you can follow that book up with an autobiography titled “My Life as a Superior Intellect.”
Melissa says
Hey Im from Niagara Falls NY..i took a walk earlier & ran into a street vendor. Figured “hey..why not?” ..got approved right away for the free smart phone and asked about a job. 2 hours later I got a call back to meet up with a Team Member tomm a.m. to start work! Ok..i WAS excited until I read a few reviews. Im concerned im going to be wasting a lot of time for no money. They say its $10/approved participant. Im concerned LoL!
Loretta L Tarver says
I have a lifeline agent license and would like to open a store in the eufaula ok area. I worked for assist wireless before but did not like the way I was treated by the lifeline team I was sub contracted under. I would like to open my own store. How could I do this.
Free Government Cell Phones says
You’ll need to contact the companies that offer Lifeline service in Oklahoma. You can find a complete list at this link:
https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net/states
Nicholas Roman says
What do you mean when you say that you have a license???
One does not need to procure a
” license ” to give something away for free. I’m not trying to be comical or difficult when I say this but if that were the case you see a lot of young lovers standing in line most of their time rather than doing what young lovers like to do most I digress…
license??? I think not
Free Government Cell Phones says
Seriously, Nicholas, doesn’t a superior human being such as you have something better to do than nitpick this website and its readers?
Shakendra Wash says
Great and hey you guys thanks
Danielle A Yee says
Is there any information available on how a foster teen in Nevada may be eligible to obtain a free government cell phone?
Free Government Cell Phones says
The teen is only eligible if he/she is over 18, Danielle. When they reach that age, they can enroll like anyone else, but they cannot get a free government cell phone until then.
Nicholas Roman says
Once again NOT TRUE !!!!
First and foremost someone who is emancipated at the age of 17 can get a phone so let information you just received is not correct you do not need to be 18. Furthermore a parent who qualifies for the program once they take possession of that phone it’s their phone they can then give that phone to their child to use as much as they want whenever they want so when people tell you that this person can’t get a phone they can if your the legal guardian you watch the child you can qualify for the phone and trust me you will qualify for it and then you can get to the phone to that person Emma doing Lifeline now for five years and I’ve forgotten more about Lifeline that anyone on here will ever know do you want the real skinny just hit me up
Free Government Cell Phones says
No, Nicholas, your remarkable brain power is so stunning that everyone at this website would be far too intimidated to ask for your assistance.
Michelle Marino says
Hi, Nicholas. I’ve interviewed with 2 companies representing free cell phone distribution. They spoke a lot about building my own team and making money on each person who is signed up. Something about this doesn’t feel right. Can you give me the skinny??
Free Government Cell Phones says
Sounds suspiciously like a pyramid scheme to us.

I kept on every single thing on this website that would’ve made he helped me get a phone but none of them will open I can’t do anything with them I do not know why my email is Sandy Parris 14 all lower caps and then I’ll lo I tapped on every single thing on this website that would’ve made he helped me get a phone but none of them will open I can’t do anything with them I do not know why my email is Sandy Parris 14 all lower case Please advise as to what’s going on

This is an independent informational website, Karen, so you cannot report any misconduct to us. (Well, you can report it to us, but we cannot do anything about it.) You need to contact the company that the rep was representing.
Louise Coleman says
I would like to know is there anything that can stop an ordinary person from being hired for this position? In other words, what are the exact requirements to qualify for a sales rep position?
Free Government Cell Phones says
It varies from company to company, Louise. You’ll need to check with each of the free government cell phone companies in your state to find out their specific requirements. Here’s where you can find them all:

Angela says
Hello, do y’all have a work from home online business where you can own your own life line WIRELESS company?
Free Government Cell Phones says
Hah! We wish, Angela. Getting approval to become a Lifeline company is an incredibly expensive process that takes millions of dollars and top notch attorneys who know all the ins-and-outs of the cell phone business.
Kurt Markwell says
I own several nursing homes in the Los Angeles and Las Vegas area. Many of my residents are on Medicaid and need lifeline assistance.
Free Government Cell Phones says
Any of them who qualify can enroll, Kurt. However, special paperwork must be filled out because they live in a group home. Ordinarily, only one free government cell phone is permitted per address, but exceptions are made in cases like yours. You may want to contact one of the companies’ customer service teams to discuss.
Nicholas Roman says
NOT TRUE OMG THERE ARE SOME INCREDIBLY MISINFORMED PEOPLE ON HERE.. OK THEY ARE JUST PLAIN STUPID… SHOW ME WHERE IT STATES ONE PHONE PER ADDRESS.
ITS 1 PHONE PER ECONOMIC UNIT… THIS MEANS THAT SINCE EACH PERSON AT YOUR HOME PAYS THEIR OWN BILLS AND THEY ARE NOT LEGALLY MARRIED THEY THEY QUALIFY UNDER THE PROGRAM…
I AM ASTONISHED AT THE LEVEL OF IGNORANCE FROM MY COUNTRYMEN… IM ASHAMED TO CLAIM I AM AN AMERICAN.
I AM ALSO A CERTIFIED COMMON LAW BARRISTER WHO HAS A STELLAR RESEARCH ACUMEN. THE PROBLEM WITH MOST AMERICANS IS APATHY. THEY ARE JUST TOO LAZY TO RESEARCH ANYTHING AND THIS IS SADLY WHY PEOPLE, STUPID PEOPLE REFER TO THESE FREE PHONES AS ” obama phones ” BARRY SATERO aka BARACK OBAMA IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM EVEN CLOSE TO BEING SOMEONE WHO HAS THE CAPABILITY OF AN IDEA SUCH AS LIFELINE…
GO TO CALIFORNIA LIFELINEMCOM AND YOU WILL SEE THE PROGRAM STARTED IN 1985 AND UNTIL 2006 WAS A SUBSIDYFOR THE P.U.C. now do you see why as a former USMC Scout Sniper I am ashamed to admit I am American. When I travel I claim Canadian..
Free Government Cell Phones says
Interestingly enough, Nicholas, we’re ashamed of you. We’ve done a lot of international travel and we’ve never been afraid or ashamed to admit we are American.

Hi,
My name is Jennifer Randles and I have experience in issuing out government phones.. I would be a great agent for your company. I live in Loveland, CO. I came from CA and from my observation I have not seen anywhere phones are being given out and there’s a lot of people that aren’t familiar with government issued phones and that don’t know how to order online.. I would appreciate it if your company took a chance on me I can guarantee you won’t regret it. Have a great day and Thank you

Toy Jackson says
I am in Newport News, Va.. Is there anywhere that tells you where they will be located handing out the phones? I saw someone on Jefferson Ave, on Wednesday, but when I went back they were gone already. Is there a website or anything that shows you where to go get the phones locally, or where the vendors are going to be, so I can just go and signup there
Free Government Cell Phones says
We strongly urge our readers NOT to enroll at street events because they have been the scene of so much fraud and abuse.
Jim lowe says
How can it be fraud if it is free? What kind of abuse?
Free Government Cell Phones says
Several kinds of abuse, Jim. Fraud by agents who sign up customers who don’t qualify. They get paid for every phone they distribute, so some of them are willing to commit fraud by enrolling people who don’t qualify for the program. There is also tons of fraud by people who have multiple free government cell phone accounts. There are other scams involved, but that’s enough to answer your question.
lloyd says
Does the street vendor determine who qualifies for a phone? I thought customers were screened by the app the vendor is using. How can it be his/her fault if someone is cheating the system? How is it different if they apply at a brick and mortar type of business?
Free Government Cell Phones says
The street vendors are generally paid a commission for each phone they distribute, so they are incentivized to give phones to people who are not qualified to receive them. There are countless incidents of fraud in this program and we have constantly editorialized against it. The companies have been fined repeatedly for fraud and abuse that they have been willing to overlook. In fact, one company’s fraud was so extensive that they were fined out of existence.
Very few of the free government cell phone companies have brick and mortar stores.
Jay says
Nothing in this world is free. How does a company like assurance profit from giving out free phones to qualified individuals?
Free Government Cell Phones says
You can find that info in a number of articles on this website, Jay, but we’ll be good guys and recap: Every phone bill in the UNited States includes a line item called “Universal Service Fund.” It’s generally a few cents per month per phone bill. Each free government cell phone company is paid $9.25 per month per customer out of those funds.
April Bean says
How do I become a distributor? Not one of the team members but the person hiring?
Free Government Cell Phones says
Tough to answer that question, April. To begin with, most of the free government cell phone companies sub this kind of work out to other companies. (That’s one of the reasons there have been so many problems with fraud and abuse of the program at the street tents.) In other words, you want to become one of those subcontractors. We would suggest that you reach out to the corporate offices of the various Lifeline companies in your state.

Good for you, Gary. Way to go!
Jessica says
Can you send me the information to get started please.
Free Government Cell Phones says
The volume of comments and questions we get every day make it impossible for us to do as you ask, Jessica. But we often suggest that people in your situation check the Help Wanted ads on your local Craig’s List. Many of the free government cell phone companies use that website to find employees.
Julie Ann elder says
I realize you’re not a cell phone provider you are here to answer questions about giving the phones to people that need them at certain locations through you know certain cell phone providers but do you have any clue as to how I can get ahold of Access Wireless I received an email several days ago telling me that the changes I made were okay and everything has been updated on my account and now I don’t have a cell phone they shut me off and I do everything by the book I give them every information they need I do my recertifications and now I’m cut off and I made no changes but I can’t get ahold of anyone to talk to somebody can somebody please give me a phone number I can talk to them
Free Government Cell Phones says
You can’t believe how many readers ask us how to reach a live rep at Access. As far as we know, it’s impossible. We’ve tried repeatedly and we’d like to think we’re reasonably intelligent people, but we have had zero success. In other words, we do not know how to reach Access.

My phone was stolen so I haven’t had I. About a year
Free Government Cell Phones says
Here’s the info you need, Latasha. It’s from our FAQ page:
https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net/faq/i-lost-my-phone-how-do-i-get-a-replacement
Keep in mind, though, that new rules went into effect late last year. They state that your account will be cancelled if your phone goes unused for 30 days or more. So your account may have been terminated.

Elliott Brady says
What is wrong with you people? The poor guy/girl has told you at least 20 times that he ISN’T a service provider but rather an independent website with information on it. Actually read the comments before commenting. If you would have done so you wouldn’t be asking the same things over and over and over again.
Free Government Cell Phones says
Nothing else we can add to this one. Thanks, Elliott.

Where can i get the EIN-FEDERAL ID FOR THE W2 FORM SO I CAN FILE MY TAXES
Free Government Cell Phones says
Well this question may be farther from our area of expertise than any other one we’ve ever been asked. But what the heck, we’ll give it a try, Cynthia. If you file as an individual you probably don’t have an EIN. You probably file using your social security number. But we are NOT CPAs, so please check with one.
Justin says
Sorry I have a few things to say and don’t want to leave just one big paragraph also if you are here to complain about the people handing out the phones please take in to consideration that they are probably haveing a hard day and its not them approveing you for a phone its the company we only sign you up they do the rest so if it takes forever to get your phone don’t blame us its them were just doing are job if you want to complain call the company we work for for being slow don’t complain to us please thanks for your time and remember its a free phone so why complain at all ?
Justin says
Here is a few things to consider before working with a free phone company can you handle people getting made at you if they aren’t excepted for a phone ? I’ve been spit on called names yelled at even had people go as far as trying to fight me not all places you set up are going to have respectful people Ive only been working four days and I’m already overwhelmed by how much disrespect people give me I strongly wouldn’t recamend working here if you can’t handle people given you some bs.
Justin says
I have been handing out free phones for about four days now and have never been treated so badly by people before I started working here when some people don’t get excepted for a phone you get cussed at spit on I’ve even almost had fist fights the money is good and can really help you out but be prepared for a lot of punks who think they know it all .PS I live in a high end neighborhood not the ghetto and am still treated like trash when these people come get a phone I wish they’d stop handing them out to these ungrateful people thanks for taking time to read my complaints and take what I said before working with free phones
Patrick Pantig says
ive been doing it for about 2 months. dont let it get to you, I get it all the time. its customer service, so you encounter all kinds of people. People are your territory to work with, and sometimes they even come to your table and you just do the work on your tablet. Ive been doing it for awhile and loving it so far.

Javier Barrientos Bakersfield Ca. says
I applied at “AndConnectUs” in Bakersfield Ca. for an agent position and was told that my application had been approved. I was instructed to begin my online training with safetynet. I successfully completed the training and now I am unable to contact anyone from “andconnectus” I have been calling the office number and it states that the number is either disconnected or no longer in service. What do I do? I need that job……Someone please let me know what is going on……I can be reached via cell phone by call/text at 661-699-**** or via email at *****@gmail.com
Free Government Cell Phones says
Two things: (1) We are unfamiliar with AndConnectUs, so we assume it must be a local office of some sort. (2) If you have been recertified, your service provider will surely be able to help you. Give them a call.
Christy Roberts says
I was told my phone was being shipped still haven’t gotten one it’s been two months so I’m getting mad plz I need a phone badly .iv waited because my sister told me y’all were better provider thank you plz update me
Free Government Cell Phones says
We think you’ve left this comment on the wrong website, Christy. It’s nice that your sister told you that we were a “better provider,” but we are an independent website, not a free government cell phone company. In other words, you need to speak to customer service or go to your service provider’s website to use the “Check My Status” function.
Diana says
Thank you for all the info its been very helpful and informative

richard la croix says
I just applied for the free government phone. I have one from q link but the screen on the smart phone is cracked and I cant afford the twenty five dollars for a replacement phone so I was trying to get another, I’m not trying to defraud the government just trying to get another phone…could u please help. I can call on it but I cant see to text. thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Free Government Cell Phones says
We’re an independent website, Richard, not a free government cell phone company. But we can tell you that you won’t be defrauding anyone as long as you inform your new service provider that you already have an account with another company. They will tell you what steps you need to take to stay on the right side of the law.
Jessica says
How do I get a job giving phones?
Free Government Cell Phones says
Those people are usually employed by subcontractors hired by the free government cell phone companies. We can’t tell you who those companies are nor where they are located. The only “help wanted” ads we’ve seen were on Craig’s List. Give it a try.
Bob F says
I get online leads for these services every day. Is there anything I can do other than make a MFA blog/website? Are there any affiliate programs or companies buying leads or anything like that? I mean, every day I get a message on my Facebook or elsewhere from someone asking how they can get a free phone. I don’t want to set up a booth or get a job. I have a business. Since it’s not part of my business I just direct people to the official utilities commissions in their states, but I admit it would be nice to get a few bucks.
Free Government Cell Phones says
It would, indeed, be nice to get a few bucks, Bob. But take it from us, there are no affiliate programs that actually work. Lord knows, no one would love that more than us. So feel free to direct those people to this website, where they can get all the information they need.

Free Government Cell Phones says
Sounds pretty fishy to us, Tammy. What company is supposedly sending you 100 cell phones?
Nichole Ellis says
Actually I am a Safelink team leader and I pay my reps 10 per phone. They never do under 10 phones per day but the average is 20+. I can send proof. Let me know if u may want a job…

lou says
I’ve worked for assurance wireless for the last 2 yrs. We set up a tent…do online ads on social media. We dont chase anyone down unlike a few unnamed companies i see. Poor guys chasing ppl all over and i’m sitting in the shade with a 20+ person line before me. It also helps we give out actual smartphones instead of those outdated calls only phones. Also yes you can make approx 1k a week. Closest i’ve gotten was 800 a week. It was great. Now i average between 500 and 800 a week….if it’s really nasty outside i’ll do considerably worse. Learn your audiences habits and where they’ll be. Perfect example, talk to an office manager of an access office.. see if you can set shop outside…everyone going there either has benefits or is applying. Easy money.
Tamesha says
Hi, how do I apply. I would like to earn cash.
Thanks
Free Government Cell Phones says
In most cases, Tamesha, 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.
Shannon says
How do I find out where your agents are???
Free Government Cell Phones says
We don’t have agents, Shannon, because we’re not a free government cell phone company. We’re an independent website. Contact your service provider’s customer service team.

Elena says
Hi Lou!
Sounds like this is something I’d be interested in doing as well. Any suggestions on how to apply to Assurance Wireless to become a sales rep in my area?
Free Government Cell Phones says
Not really, Elena. Most free government cell phone companies subcontract their street tent efforts out to another company. It is that company that hires the reps. The only sources we’ve seen for these jobs are ads on Craig’s List. Give it a try.
Buffy Schilling says

As hard as we’ve tried to get an answer to that question, Buffy, we’ve never been able to get a good answer. We’ve even spoken to Lifeline company executives who don’t have a good answer.
Can we ask a favor of you, Buffy? How about if you call the Montana Public Service Commission and ask. Please let us know what they say.

HOW DOES A PERSON WITHOUT A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER QUALIFY FOR A FREE GOVERNMENT PHONE IN CALIFORNIA… MY CLIENTS HAVE MEDI-CAL OR MEDI-CADE PLUS A WIC OR FOODSTAMP CARD AND A PASSPORT, BUT NO SOCIAL SECURITY CARD
Free Government Cell Phones says
There’s no regulation that says you must have a social security number. Admittedly, it’s unusual for someone not to have one, but we don’t think it’s an insurmountable problem. Your clients would qualify based on the programs in which they participate.
lou says
Actually the last 4 of a social security are needed. The persons id or licence is verified in 2 ways. By the id or dl number being run through the dmv and the last 4 being ran through social sec. If everything comes back fine they can proceed. If something isnt right you are informed to fix the issue before being allowed to proceed. Ive been working as an ind contra for 2 yrs with the free cellphones.
Dennis says
ATTN: All you people wanting a job handing out ” free Obama phones”.
Just keep it in mind you may want to work for a company that sets you up in an office or tent, where if people were interested in coming to see you.
I do not like phone solicitors, (or any other type) knocking on my door. A large man just came to my door and gave his pitch about the free phone. He was nice, had a bag full of phones, and wore an I.d. badge around his neck. But he looked, ( not saying he was) casing my house. I will say it would have ended very badly in his favor if he made any false move that was in a threatening manner.
Most people in the safety and comfort of their homes WILL do what’s necessary to protect property and most important family.
I do not trust strangers, ( especially coming to my front door uninvited) .
So if you want or need a job handing out phones, great, but be aware you are a stranger. Use common sense, and most important, if there’s a sign posted at a house or apt. building that states ” No Soliciting “, THAT MEANS YOU!!!
Free Government Cell Phones says
Excellent advice, Dennis, and a very interesting story. As you’ve probably seen, we do discourage our readers from applying for free government cell phones at street tents and booths.
Carrie says
My comment to Dennis comment :
Im just curious how you ended up at this site and was it just to specifically comment post the solicitor at the door?
It would seem strange to go door to door at actual houses to see if people want to sign up for a free phone, perhaps the “solicitor” at your door was only really casing in order to figure out if going door to door is even reasonable being that most people whose incomes are too high to qualify for the sponsored phone dealio would make for a long day of being told no over and over.
Just sayin. Could have appeared to be casing , but not necessarily in hopes of coming back to rob the place.
solicitation does not occur when a person applies for a grant or an award to the government or to an organization that is exempt from federal income taxation under s. 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and described in s. 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.”
Technically and legally this would not be defined as solicitation
denise says
Only certain lifeline providers are background check and drug tested regularly. Educate yourself in what the qualifications of a company has the employee process or speak with an agent and/or management.
Xavier says
You sound like a typical paranoid person, that’s just f*cking sad.If you shot someone who was just offering you a free phone, you’d go to jail. That person wasn’t trying to rob you, he could also sue you if he survived. I know I would if somebody pulled a gun on me because they are scared. I mean do you go pulling out firearms on Jehova witnesses? You probably would. And they hit on my door all the time. These people are jut trying to do a job any way they can to make money. There is no need to be getting all paranoid and sh*t.
Tommy says
Or it could end bad in your favor if that person knows how to fight and you threaten them. You’d also have to explain yourself for injuring or threatening them when all they were doing was offering you a phone.
I lived in some very bad areas most of my life right here in NEW YORK and I’ve never been terrified of strangers hitting on my door even during the 90s when everybody was messed up on drugs everywhere, neither was my grandmother. I mean are you that scared when you go out or do you stay locked up in your house like a hermit because you think everybody is out to get you? Kind of terrible to live that sort of life.

You’ve run into a very common problem, Nora. It’s virtually impossible to reach a live person at Access. You can send an email via the company’s website.

Lamar Hunt says
My name is Lamar Hunt and I’m interested in a career signing people up for there fred government phones. I just need to know how. Would I get a tent? Please contect me..lamar_hunt@*******.com (443)599-****
Free Government Cell Phones says
The people who work at the tents and booths are independent contractors who usually work for independent contractors hired by the Lifeline Assistance companies. You’ll need to reach out to each of the Lifeline companies individually to find out which companies they hire to work at the tents and booths.
Tina says
Hello, i recently applied for a position. How far back legally are your companies legally allowed to go back as it relates to background checks? Are these second chance organizations?
Free Government Cell Phones says
We’re not one of those employers, Tina. We’re an independent website that is not affiliated with any of the free government cell phone companies. So we have no idea what their background check policies are. Nevertheless, we wish you the best of luck in your job search.
Nichole Ellis says
Background check goers as far back as 18. Shows your whole criminal record. Arrests, misdemeanors, felony’s, and even cases that where “throw out”.
Ericka says
I was wondering on how I would go about finding info on the independent company I worked for handing out phones. I started first in Syracuse NY then did some out of state jobs. Now Im trying to get my check from working and Im being told no. How do I find out who owns this company through Safelink?
Free Government Cell Phones says
This is a new one for us. We’ve heard a thousand complaints about the indepedent service reps committing fraud and abuse on customers, so we suppose it’s not surprising that they’d do the same to their employees.
We’re not sure who you should contact, but it will definitely be someone at corporate headquarters. Here’s that contact info:
TracFone Wireless, Inc.
9700 Nw 112th Avenue
Miami, FL 33178
Phone: 305-640-2000
Fax: 305-640-2070
Explain your story to whoever answers and ask them who you should talk to. We’d love to hear more about this case, Ericka, so please keep us updated on your progress.
Dana says
Geezz, Call the Labor Board, call State Dept of Employment. Why are they telling you No?
Dana says

SafeLink is run by a subsidiary of América Móvil, the world’s fourth largest wireless company in terms of subscribers, but it is not paid for directly by the company. Nor is it paid for with “tax payer money,”.
Patricia Robinson says
Hell i am Patricia Robinson. I would like to hand out free cell phone. I really need a job. I’m hard working and always on time.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you
Free Government Cell Phones says
Most of the free government cell phones do not employee the people who work at the street tents and booths. Instead they contract with an outside company that employs those people. That means that you need to contact the Lifeline companies in your state and ask how to get in touch with the companies they contract with. Because those are the companies you want to apply to.
Alicia says
How do i get intouch with Access Wireless about working for them in Kentucky.
Free Government Cell Phones says
Damn good question, Alicia. Our readers tell us it’s virtually impossible to reach a human at Access. The only way to contact them is by using the website’s email form.

andrew says
Specifically How much does the government lifeline assistance subsidy pay these companies PER SALE? I heard it was 10 dollars a month but that has to be false it must be much more if the same company is willing its rep 10 dollars per sale right otherwise it is 0 profit? SO how much is it per sale? Can you answer that thanks
Free Government Cell Phones says
We are not privy to the inner workings of the deals cut by individual Lifeline Assistance companies and the independent contractors who take applications and hand out phones. Many rep organizations leave comments and attempt to recruit employees here at FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net, but we never approve those comments because we are unable to vouch for the credibility of those reps and organizations.
If one of those reps or organizations would like to answer Andrews question, we will approve the comment.
Ryan says
Payment amount varies based on the company and rep level productivity. The industry standard is $8 for most reps, but those running teams can earn upwards of $12 per enrollment. There are multiple models and various degrees of contractors operating (not all within guidelines and not all at the true contractual level.). It’s important to ask specific questions when speaking to anyone offering this service, such as “Are you the master agent or an enrolled agent?” & “Do you hold a direct contact with the carrier?”

Where can i go tomorrow. To get a phone in person. Where will yall be posted at in indianapolis
Free Government Cell Phones says
Virtually none of the free government cell phone companies publish their booth schedules. There’s a good reason for that — most of their street sales teams are independent agents who set their own schedules.
On top of that, we do not recommend signing up for the program at street booths. We’ve received too many complaints of fraud. Instead, we recommend signing up online or by phone directly with the companies.
You can find a complete list of free government cell phone companies by clicking on the “States” link at the top of this page. Then scroll down and click on Indiana. Click through all the companies to find the plan that’s best for you.

Some free government cell phone company websites actively seek employees, but we’ve never found any “Come work for us” or “Job Openings” listed on the Safelink site. But that doesn’t mean they’re not looking, Kayla. We’d suggest contacting the company either by phone or online.

Thank You very much. I began this journey looking for free gov. phones for my mother and my uncle, which is deaf, to be able to communicate with each other while shopping and such. I showed them how to put the phones on vibrate and have phrases programed on them. This site is amazing !
Also, I am disabled, looking to make extra money. You guys really opened my eyes as this seems to be something that I can really get behind !

I have seen several tents set up as well as different agents knocking on my door to sign me up for a free phone. I have door to door canvassing experience, and quit alot of customer service skills. I believe I myself has what it takes to be a local agent due to the size of my city and knowing almost everyone!
Thank you for organizing such a great company
Sincerely, Regina

I am/ have been a cell phone distributor for about 6 months now. I personally love the job! There are many negative people tho and you have to be “kind” to everyone. If you have worked in fast food, you can’t for sure handle this!

I am very interested in becoming a free phone distributor in Fresno, Ca. could you please let me know what the process is?
Joshua A Gottlied says
Dear Sir:
I am interested in employment with your company as a cell phone distribution agent in the Fort Washington and Beltsville Maryland areas. I would set up a tent in those two areas and distribute your cell phones.
I heard about this job opportunity while trying to find a company that would issue me a cell phone, so that I could seek employment in Maryland. I just became unemployed four weeks ago, due to seasonal changes.
While employed on my last job, I was a pool operator on outdoor pools. Now, there isn’t a need for my professional services, so I must seek another type of employment.
I am a dedicated individual, and my last job, before the one I wrote about above, I was a Manager at a Sports Complex indoor pool for the Maryland National Park and Planning Commission. I was there for over fifteen years or more.
I am not with any government program right now. If it counts, my daughter, age three, is with the Maryland Medicaid program under the Maryland Health Connection.gov.
If you could issue me a government issued cell phone, and information on how to become a cell phone distributor in Maryland, please contact me or write to me at ************************** Maryland 20744.
I thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Justin ford says

I am trying to build a sales force to sign up people for free government phones. Since our church works with people in recovery from drugs, abuse, alcohol and trauma, we have a ready made base for a free phone and other services. The first company I contacted didn’t work in the state of Idaho. I would be willing to start from scratch if necessary with Lifeline or anyone else. Please let me know where to go with this.

I live in Vallejo, California and would like a job distributing free cellphone service to those that qualify in my area. I enjoy working and helping people from all walks of life. Can you tell where, what, and who I need to contact to the job working in Vallejo, California?
M.B. says
A SPRINT/TRUE WIRELESS representative signed me up for a free phone on September 17, 2015 at a State Government Office, because I qualify, but I have NOT received the letter he said I would receive first, nor the phone (2-3 weeks) after giving this guy the application with my personal information on it. I am upset and feel that that was a scam or either True Wireless AND Sprint collectively dropped the ball on processing something which has been funded by the federal government. I want to know who do I contact regarding this matter before I end up reporting it to the federal government concerning possible fraudulent practices.

GEORGE R. TORJUSSEN says
Honest folks, I’m not the kind who thinks things are stacked against me. I’m an 82 year young Korean war vet who’s survived to have a wonderful life, then and now. BUT – I noticed how not a single potential source included possibly the most populous state of oldies, retired or needy seniors as Florida. Could it be that they’ve determined that we are too old or incompetent ?
Thanks for the huge undertaking in bringing the whole cell phone issue to us.
