Free government cell phone unlimited talk and text

The ACP is a federally funded government program that provides millions of Americans with FREE wireless service every month. Through this program, K20 Wireless provides FREE Talk, Text, & Data to eligible Americans - keeping them connected to the world.

Recognizing the importance of having access to a phone and concerned that low-income households may not be able to afford phone service on their own, the federal government created the Lifeline Assistance program in 1985. Consumers who qualify based on federal or state-specific eligibility criteria can obtain free phone service through the Lifeline Assistance program.

Today Lifeline is still a federal program. Qualifying individuals are eligible to receive one Lifeline discount per household. Life Wireless provides free phone service as well as free government phones by state, with qualifying enrollment through the Lifeline phone program. Eligible users can apply for free cell phones, and also get additional free data with approval from the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). Life Wireless provides access to reliable 5G (where available) 4G LTE coverage nationwide.

Under the Lifeline program, qualified customers can receive a discount on their monthly wireless service.

Promotional service offer supported by the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) operated by the FCC. Only eligible consumers may enroll. Eligibility is based on income less than or equal to 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or participation in Lifeline, Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, free or reduced-price school lunch/breakfast, or Pell Grant and is determined by the National Verifier (documentation may be required). The ACP benefit is non-transferable and is limited to one monthly service discount and benefit transfer per household. For ACP details and applicable terms and conditions, visit www.lifewireless.com/ACP/tac or call us at 1-888-543-3620. If the FCC announces the end the ACP, we end our ACP service offers, or if your household is no longer eligible, we will notify you and you will revert to receiving only the standard FREE Lifeline plan if you are eligible or you may choose service subject to our regular rates, terms and conditions.

We know how important it is to stay in touch with family, be available for job opportunities, and have a phone in case of emergencies. Access Wireless serves our community by offering free cell phones and service for qualifying customers, through a government funded program. Offerings vary by state.
