Colorado: Free government cell phones from Lifeline and ACP

Good news: The free government cell phone program is now available in the Centennial State.

But before we get to the details, let’s pause for some pertinent Colorado trivia:

Colorado is the only state that’s ever turned down a chance to host the Olympics. Luckily, the state hasn’t turned down the opportunity to offer Lifeline Assistance, the free government cell phone program.

The LoDo section of Denver stands for Lower Downtown. But now that the free government cell phone program is available for Colorado’s low income residents, maybe they should rename it LowDough.

The word Colorado means “colored red” and, unfortunately, in these tough economic times, a lot of the state’s residents need the free government cell phone program because they find themselves in the red every month.

Katherine Lee Bates composed “America the Beautiful” after seeing the view from Pikes Peak. And now that the free government cell phone program is available in Colorado, a lot of the state’s residents are going to agree that America is, indeed, more beautiful than ever.

Colorado’s famous for the pioneer slogan “Pikes Peak or Bust”. Unfortunately, too many of the state’s low-income residents have already gone bust and desperately need the kind of help provided by a free government cell phone.

Enough trivia. Now let’s get to the important stuff: How low-income Colorado residents can get all free smartphones, unlimited talk, unlimited text, and data galore.

Lifeline and ACP free government cell phone service providers in Colorado

Here’s a list of all the Lifeline Assistance free government cell phones in Colorado. They all offer different plans with different numbers of minutes, different refill options, and serve different geographic areas. So click through them all and find the plan that’s best for you.

    Is there a program for people who are released from jail? These people are let out, no phone, no money, no bus ticket, just to the street. Maybe a free phone would help so that would help lower the stolen cars around the area

  2. Christine porter says

    MY ADULT DAUGHTER AND I BOTH NEED FREE CELL PHONES!! WE ARE IN AN EMERGENCY FINANCIAL STATE AND I AM OVERDRAWN AT MY BANK.PLEASE HELP US GET 2 FREE PHONES..SHE IS HOMELESS AGAIN THIS THURSDAY..PLEASE HELP..THANK U

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      Do you both qualify? Do you live in different houses? If so, you can both get free cell phones and service. If you live the the same house, you have a problem. One of the primary rules of the program says “one per household.”

      You can learn everything you need by simply clicking around this website, especially on the navigation bar at the top of this page, for a few minutes.

        • Free Government Cell Phones says

          It sounds like you can both qualify. She should apply using the address of the shelter as her home address, and you should apply using your home address as your address.

  3. QLink Customer says

    Hoping for a confirm, here, if possible. Received a new. SIM card from QLink, which took months to arrive, as their network is upgraded to 5g.

    Unfortunately, after inserting new nano SIM card and powering up phone, msg displayed “invalid SIM card.”

    Notified QLink tech service. Email received on 11-12-2021 stated new cell phone shipped. However, when following up on status 11-22-2021, was now informed no free phones are being shipped to Lifeline customers. To receive a replacement phone, one must pay.

    Given that QLink was currently raided by several LE agencies, am strongly considering a search for a new Lifeline provider.

    BTW, it was this site that provided such great info several years ago to get me started in the Lifeline program. Much thanks!

    Any accurate info on this is much appreciated.

  4. Donna M Rahtz says

    My wife has Q- Link is there any way I can apply for a phone? We are both handicapped, and way under the poverty line.. Q- Link does not work we have called them nurmous times, and now they say our phone isn’t compatible, want us to purchase their phone for $ 19.99 and pay for shipping they said we didn’t qualify for a free phone.. there’s a reason we can’t afford our own phone plan.. We both have health issues, and we have no family, when my wife has to go out, she has no way to contact me.. we need another phone, and one that works.. NOT QLINK. WE are missing calls from drs and important appointments can’t even get texts when we are getting messages from Lyft when we are waiting on our driver… Please we need a second phone.. we are senior citizens…

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      Sorry, but the rule states one free government cell phone per household, and it does not sound like you qualify for the exemption.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      Look at all the plans offered on this page, then use the contact info we provide to contact that company and enroll. Simple.

  6. Darin Smith says

    Before I moved from Wisconsin to California I had QLINK and I actually really liked that service. When I got to California QLINK did not have service there so I switched to Truconnect. Now I moved to Colorado and when I call Truconnect they say that they do not cover my area. My area code is 80110. I connected with QLINK and they sent me a packet. When I put my new sim card in and tried transferring my number the message that I received from the automated system was that I should receive an email telling me the next thing to do. I never received that email but I did receive an email saying that my shipment is on the way. When I call the QLINK number I get an automated message saying that this is the account and then I get hung up on. I even went to the Chat function in QLINK and when I asked if someone could help me transfer my number the response I got was that it can take 2-7 days to get a response. I googled QLINK and I see that they got raided by 5 Federal Government Agencies. Should I switch to a different LifeLine service and if so who?

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      Considering the circumstances it would probably be a good idea to switch providers. We cannot tell you which one because there are so many variables. The right provider for you might not be the right provider for the guy who lives next door.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      Seriously? We pride ourselves on having far less advertising than most sites. We’ll make you a deal. Send us all your money and we’ll take away all the advertising. Until then we’ll be forced to run ads in order to pay the bills.

  8. Christine Spielman says

    I need a government phone. My cell Is old And working properly.
    I have Med 9 For Aid to needy And. disabled. Im Going Blind.

    I. Have Medicaid And. EBT. Please Call me And. Leave voicemail.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      We’re an independent informational website, Christine, not a service provider. You need to review the companies and plans outlined in the article above, choose the one that fits your needs best, then enroll with that company using the contact info we provide for each service provider.

  9. Concerned User says

    Why are you so unprofessional in your comments, I get that you are not a service provider, but why are all of these comments so toxic? Why run this website if people asking you questions you act as you self describe in one of your comments as a “smartass”? People in this situation are confused and desperate, responding “You are full of something that smells very badly,” is just wrong. If you truly moderate the comments, why include all of these hateful things? I think you need to rethink how you are spending your time on the internet.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      We feel terrible that we do not meet your exceedingly high standards. Our parents were bad people. Our grandparents were bad people. Our children are even bad people. It’s clearly a genetic thing and it can’t be helped.

  10. Kristie says

    I bet the phone service you work for would not appreciate the way you are (Helping) us customers. The way you people talk and treat your customers is inconceivable! I am turning this over the the proper authority! Free phone or not very very poor customer service. Have a great day Frre Government Cell Phones. Just because we can not afford a phone you look down on us WOW.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      Let’s see if you like this answer, Kristie. You’re a freakin’ moron. We do not have customers. We are not a service provider, we are an independent informational website. We’ve said that thousands of times on this website. We have also helped thousands and thousands of people get free government cell phones.

      You are going to turn it over to the proper authorities? Who the hell would that be, honey? If you had half an operating brain cell you would know we’re not part of the free government cell phone program. As our farmer father would have said, “You are full of something that smells very badly.” We would use his actual language, but we cower in fear that you might “report us to the proper authority.”

      WOW, indeed.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      “We” don’t have service anywhere. This is an independent informational website, NOT a service provider.

      • Suzie says

        Wow!! You don’t have to be such an ass about it! Simple question didn’t need a f**ked ignorant answer!

        • Free Government Cell Phones says

          Wake up on the wrong side of bed this morning, Susie? All we did was tell you what we don’t offer. May we suggest a little Valium?

  13. Joe stolzenberger says

    I am at a loss here.I Live in Colorado, on S.S. can I get a free phone.? How to continue confused and lost as to how

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      All the Colorado service providers are right here on this page, Joe. Check them all out, choose the plan that fits your needs best, then use the contact info we provide to contact that company and enroll. Easy peasy.

    • Patricia Montes says

      • Free Government Cell Phones says

        You enroll using the contact info we provide for each service provider listed above. Enroll by phone or online.

  15. Jonathan Hands says

    Why don’t you update the content? It’s almost 2019, and you state that some of the programs will not be available in 2017. See what I mean? I read the whole thing and then find that your content is out of date. Sorry to complain but you asked for comments.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      PLEASE read our answers (below) to many similar questions to understand why we strongly recommend enrolling online or by phone.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      We no longer advocate enrolling at a street event, Chris. Too much fraud and abuse. Enroll online or by phone instead.

  17. Linda says

    I qualify for the service however the town that I live in (green mountain falls CO) does not deliver mail to the physical address, only to p.o.box. I have no choice in this matter. I’ve made numerous phone calls to no avail. Is there anyone who can help me?

  18. NICHOLAS BARTUSKA says

    I’m having trouble finding a stand thst gives you a free phone service! Unfortunately I’m homeless and can’t have one delivered! How to you locate these stands in colorado?

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      We hate to be the bearers of bad news, Nicholas, but according to the rules of the Lifeline free government cell phone program you are not eligible unless you have a street address. The only way that we’re aware of around that regulation is to gain residence in a group home (a homeless shelter, for example). Good luck, my friend.

  20. Susan Justice says

    I AM OVERWHELMED AND CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE IS FOR ME. i HAVE MY OWN SERVICE AT HOME WITH MY INTERNET AND AM HAPPY WITH IT, i NEED A MOBLIE FOR BEING AWAY .

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      We can’t recommend one company over another, Susan. Sorry you’re feeling overwhelmed, but you need to read more on this website to help determine which company/plan fits your needs best.

  21. Joan Ann Gering says

    I am currently living in N.Y. and have a free phone for low income person. How do I get this in Colorado when I move there in March 2018.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      It should continue to work in Colorado, but when your one-year anniversary rolls around, you will not be able to recertify. You have two choices. One, if your service provider offers service in both states, they may be able to switch you over. Two, you might want to take this opportunity to check out all the service providers in Colorado to see if one of them offers a better deal (more minutes, more texts, more data, better smartphone, etc). If so you may want to make the switch.

      Here are two articles you should read. First is an article that tells you exactly how to make the switch:

      https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net/faq/how-do-i-switch-lifeline-providers

      And here’s an article that makes it easy to find all the service providers available in your new state:

      https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net/states

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      Check out all the programs on this page, Tonie. We’re certain that at least of these plans will be available there in Greeley.

  23. Brian says

    I have had a lifeline company for a few months but they have left me without a working phone since the start. I saw one area that says I can change companies every 60 days and another area that says I can only do it once a year. How often can you switch companies? I’ve tried fixing the situation with the company and they have just played games with me so I have filed complaints against them and asked to be switched companies as the resolution requested. Is there someplace here that says what network each company uses? I live in Commerce City, CO and a lot of companies have such weak signals that the phones are useless. Thanks

  24. Kim says

    Yes. When i enter my zip code it tells me there is service in my area. When i go to the next step it tells me there is no service in my area. ..

  25. Kim says

    everytme I fill out the form it says I qualify also my state . But when i fill out for a service provider it is constantly telling me I don’t qualify in my area!
    I no of several people who have or have had service here w the government phones.
    Why is th thing telling me I qualify an there is service in colorado just not in my area.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      We would assume that it is telling you that the company offers service somewhere in Colorado, but not in your specific area. It’s not an unusual situation, Kim. Have you tried other companies listed on this page to see if they are available where you live?

  26. Linda ortiz says

    I started my app online. For a free phone instead of habing it mailed to me can pick it up at a qulink stand in colo

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      We’re not 100% positive, but we’re pretty sure the phone has to be mailed to you.

  27. Autumn says

    I was set up with Assurance Wireless at the end of 2016, and it has been a terrible experience. The phone is always breaking and freezing and the customer service people are terrible and don’t actually fix the issues. I would like to switch my service to Q-Link. How would I go about that? I know the rules state I can only have 1 lifeline phone, but I have no other way for my job and doctors to contact me during the switch if I must cancel it while waiting for my application to be approved/phone sent with QLink. What are my options?

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      There are no options, Autumn. You can switch companies if you’ve been with your current company for at least 12 months. Otherwise, no switch.

  28. Barkley says

    I am presently on SNAP and Medicaid.
    Do you have any program to help with internet service for home use ??

    Thanks

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      Good question, Barkley. You need to visit our other website, CheapInternet.com. We have a page dedicated to Low-Income Internet that tells you about all the plans available. Several of them are aimed at homes with children, but others are available to anyone. Check them all out carefully and then enroll with the one that fits your situation and needs best. Here’s that link:

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      Our readers run into this issue all the time, Judy. We asked our contact at the USAC how to solve the problem and they advised that the customer (that’s you) should contact the service provider to explain the situation. They say it should be relatively simple to solve, but we’d love to hear your experience. If you can’t call, contact Q Link by phone by email. Go to the company website, click on “Help Center” and then click on “Contact Us.” You will be able to communicate with customer service by filling out the email form provided on that page.

  30. Sandra says

    So I got a phone in Greeley Colorado Infront of the food bank and I locked my sim. How do I find out what carrier I have so I can call and get the PUK UNLOCK code? The phone is a Primo Plus C353

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      There’s only one way to find out who your provider is, and it isn’t particularly easy, Sandra. Go to our “States” page and find Colorado:

      https://www.freegovernmentcellphones.net/states

      Your only option is to start at the top of the list of 12 companies that offer free government cell phones in Colorado. Call each one until you find the one that is your service provider. They’ll know based on your phone number, address, social security number, etc.

      • Sandra says

        Thank you very much. I believe the lady said something about T-mobile was the provider. Don’t know. I’ll call around. Again thank you….

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      Virtually every company allows you to BYOB (Bring your own phone) or BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). Different names for the same program. The problem is that not all cell phones are compatible with all cell networks. So the only way to find out for sure is to call your chosen cell phone company and ask customer service or tech support if your existing phone is compatible with their network.

  32. Chris says

    I’m in Boulder Colorado can anyone please tell me where to get a free cell phone near me without going to Denver

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      You can do it from the comfort of your home, Chris. Choose your favorite Lifeline service provider and apply online or by phone.

      • Free Government Cell Phones says

        We do not recommend enrolling at street tents or booths because they have been the scene of so much fraud and abuse. You’re much safer enrolling online or by phone, Krystal.

  33. John says

    No sense in including the Viaero link on this page…
    “Lifeline Discounts are only available in Arkansas, Nebraska and Kansas”

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      Thanks, John. We always appreciate it when our readers let us know about changes within the program. There are so many Lifeline Assistance programs and they’re constantly changing, so we occasionally miss an occasional update.

  34. Jennifer L. Schafer says

    I am a single mother looking for help on getting a cell phone to help with getting a new job and help keeping in contact with my kids and emergenceys . thank you for your time .

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      You’re on the right page, Jennifer (assuming, that is, that you live in Colorado). Check out each of the plans to see which one fits your needs best — the most minutes, most texts, data plan, etc. Then apply to that company. Easy peasy.

  35. Marilyn Higgins says

    Bull shit! I tried every one of your sites and I keep getting told that they don’t provide service in my area!

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      What a delightful woman you are, Marilyn. What a reasonable, well thought out comment. Did it ever occur to you that they may actually not offer service in your area? If you spoke to the various customer service reps the way you spoke to us, we can understand why they said they didn’t offer service in your area.

      Wait. Is this a joke? Is Marilyn really my demented mother in law yanking my chain?

      • Marilyn Higgins says

        Sorry about my attitude . If you you don’t provide service for all of colorado , why do you say you do?

        • Free Government Cell Phones says

          First of all, Marilyn, WE don’t provide any service. We’re an independent website. But where did we say service was available in all parts of Colorado? If there is any state that doesn’t have service everywhere, we would guess it would be Colorado because of how mountainous the state is.

  36. Lisa says

    Hi! A coworker developed an phone app specifically for disabled homeless veterans and those with brain injuries from combat. Where could she go to be at the main focal point of where homeless veterans are picking up Obama phones?

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      There is no single focal point, Lisa. There are thousands and thousands of homeless shelters utilized by veterans around the country. We know from our own searches that there is no single source of contact info for those shelters. Unfortunate, but true.

      • justin says

        Hello, I am a case manager for homeless veterans with a fairly large non profit in Denver. We often struggle with communication when our veterans do not have a phone. Is it possible to have a representative from your agency schedule monthly or bi-monthly visits our agency to get more of our vets enrolled with your services? We frequently host events and i think this could be a great opportunity to reach some of the people we work with that are apprehensive about asking for help.

        Lisa, I would love to discuss this app and network with you further if possible!

  37. Ellen Alires-Trujillo says

    Are there larger phones available for disabled poeple who have difficulty managing the buttons of a smaller phone.,

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      That sounds like a good idea for a very informative article, Ellen. Each company has its own policy on that issue. For example, here’s how Safelink answers the question in the very small type in its Terms & Conditions:

      “15. HEARING, VISUAL OR SPEECH IMPAIRED ACCOMMODATIONS.
      Any hearing, visual or speech impaired persons interested in applying for a specially equipped SAFELINK WIRELESS must call SAFELINK WIRELESS at 1-800-378-1684 and specify the need(s) to an agent and TracFone Wireless will make every effort to assist such customer in obtaining a handset that is in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.”

      You’ll probably find similar answers from most of the free government cell phone companies.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      According to the rules of the free government cell phone program, accounts should be automatically closed if unused for 60 days. In reality, that doesn’t always happen. Keep your fingers crossed and contact your service provider’s customer service team by phone or online. Good luck.

  39. Vera Delaski says

    My uncle, in the state of Colorado already qualifies for a free cell phone. The problem is, it’s too small. He’s a senior. The buttons are too small to see or press. Are there phones available within these programs that are large buttons, large numbers and/or display?
    Thank you.

    • Free Government Cell Phones says

      We are unaware of any companies that offer larger phones for the sight impaired. We’d suggest that you call the companies in your state to find out if any of them do. Good luck to you and your uncle.

  42. Tim says

    I have applied, and I qualify for a lifeline phone from Access. It appears Qlink has taken the personal information I gave them so I could get information from their webpage (no “proof” given to them) and used this to say I have applied for a phone from them. I have contacted qstink many times demanding they stop any application they have forced upon me. I believe they are blocking my application with Access saying I have a lifeline phone with them already. How can I stop the crooks from qstink preventing me from getting a phone from Access? They apparently refuse to stop my “application”. Access and QSTINK have been no help with this for a month now. Do I have any recourse?

      You get what you get as far as the phone is concerned — the company use whatever they can buy at a discount at the time. You get the phone from the carrier, with service.

      Most all major landline phone companies offer a Lifeline discount. It isn’t free, but you get a goo discount. All you have to do is ask the phone company for the Lifeline discount.

    Now that winter is here, the tents at Civic Center Park are gone, so where do I go to get a phone now?

      You are on the page that lists the companies that provide phones for Colorado. Just contact any of them.

    I really need an accurate answer to this question. No “I think” or “I believe” or “Just apply and see”. I am very short on time. My daughter is on the Childrens Extensive Support waiver in Colorado. The waiver waives the Medicaid requirement of low income so that a family can afford therapies, diapers, etc. Through this waiver, my daughter is on Medicaid and has a Medicaid number and card. Do we still qualify for a free cell phone? Also, my daughter is 6. Is this phone for the use of the disabled person? Or can it be for my use? We on’t have any cell phones because we can’t afford them, so even one would come in so handy. Thank you.

      Yes. If she is on Medicaid, she qualifies. There is no “disabled” phone available. You get one phone per household and anyone can use it.

    I have been trying for months and I get nowhere. I have no phone number or contact number to give them. I have called 12 times and gave my name and address slowly and waited for a application that never came. Can you help me. I am on s.s.i and I have government funded housing.
