Always verify current offers and eligibility directly with providers operating in your state.
Lifeline Service Plans
Lifeline is a federal program that provides discounted or no-cost wireless phone or internet service to eligible low-income households. Many plans offered through Lifeline include a free smartphone and a monthly service allowance.
What Lifeline Plans Generally Include:
- Monthly Talk & Text: Most Lifeline plans provide unlimited monthly talk minutes and text messages.
- Mobile Data Allowances: Plans typically include a set amount of high-speed mobile data, which can vary by provider and state.
- Nationwide Coverage: Services are generally provided through major partner networks, offering reliable coverage across the U.S.
Specific plan details, including exact data limits and additional features, depend on the individual provider and the state in which you reside. Visit our Lifeline Program page for more details.
