What is the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)?

Key features of the ACP include:

  • Up to $30/month discount on internet service
  • Up to $75/month discount on Tribal lands
  • One-time $100 discount on a tablet or connected device
  • Discounts and FREE Cell Service offered through participating providers like EASY Wireless

This long-term benefit helps connect low-income Americans to vital services and opportunities online. With the cost savings offered through the ACP, households can access the internet and mobile connectivity they need.

Who is Eligible for a Free ACP Phone?

You may qualify for a free smartphone and monthly cell service through the ACP program if you meet any of the following eligibility criteria:

Participate in a Federal Government Benefit Program including:

  • Medicaid
  • Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Food Stamps or SNAP)
  • Supplemental Security Income
  • Federal Public Housing Assistance

Still Have Questions? Here are the Most Commonly Asked and Answered

Is the Federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) the same as the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (EBB)?

The EBB program was a temporary federal program that provided discounts on internet service to eligible households during the COVID-19 pandemic. It launched in 2021 and ended when the ACP launched in 2022.

The ACP is a longer-term replacement program that provides ongoing discounts on internet service and connected devices to low-income households. The eligibility requirements and benefits are similar but not identical to the previous EBB program.

Can a household have more than one monthly service discount with ACP?

Each home can only get one monthly internet service discount, and one device discount when buying a tablet, desktop computer or connected device through the Affordable Connectivity Program. A home means a group of people living together who share money, even if they are not related.
