A unique government program provides those who qualify with a new smartphone and unlimited talk, text, and data absolutely free. To be eligible for this program, applicants must be a part of Medicaid, SNAP, SSI, low-income, VA Survivor's benefit, or Section 8 Housing.

This unique program has been around since 1985 and was expanded in 2016 and re-updated by the government in 2022. This level of benefit has never happened before. 

This phone service is for qualifying low-income people only in the United States. The US Government created this service to give all Americans the opportunities and security that having a phone gives them--including finding jobs, accessing transportation, and emergency services. Plus, bringing together families through access to a phone.

The program is available for eligible low-income consumers in most states, territories, and Tribal lands.

ELIGIBILITY

  • Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
  • Medicaid
  • Federal Public Housing Assistance
  • Tribal-specific programs: Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, Tribally-Administered Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TTANF), Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), Head Start
  • Income at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines
  • Veterans Pension and Survivors Benefit Programs

Those interested in seeing if they qualify can fill out a form. If applicants are approved, they will receive their phone. We strongly encourage anyone who qualifies to go through the process.

If desired, Americans can keep their current phone and phone number.
