Having reliable phone service is important for everyone — especially for people living with disabilities, seniors, veterans, and individuals receiving in-home care or support services.
A phone helps people stay connected to doctors, caregivers, family members, emergency services, employers, schools, and housing providers. That’s why the federal Lifeline Assistance Program helps eligible low-income households receive discounted or free wireless service through approved providers like EASY Wireless.
If you qualify, you may receive:
- Free monthly talk, text, and data
- A free SIM card
- The ability to keep your current phone number
- Access to reliable nationwide coverage
- In some cases, a free smartphone, depending on eligibility and availability
At EASY Wireless, we help eligible customers across Oklahoma get connected quickly and easily.
What Is the Lifeline Assistance Program?
The Lifeline Assistance Program is a federal program created to help eligible low-income households afford phone and internet service.
Since 1985, Lifeline has helped millions of Americans stay connected to important services, healthcare providers, jobs, schools, and loved ones.
Today, Lifeline continues helping qualifying households receive affordable wireless service through approved providers like EASY Wireless.
How Disabled Individuals May Qualify for Lifeline
Many people with disabilities already participate in government assistance programs that automatically qualify them for Lifeline service.
You may qualify if you participate in:
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Medicaid
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP / Food Stamps)
- Federal Public Housing Assistance (Section 8)
- Veterans Pension or Survivors Benefit
You may also qualify based on household income if your income meets the federal poverty guidelines.
Tribal Lands Lifeline Benefits
Additional Lifeline support may be available for eligible households living on Tribal Lands in Oklahoma.
Qualifying Tribal programs may include:
- Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance
- Tribally Administered TANF
- Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR)
- Tribal Head Start (income qualifying)
Eligible Tribal Lands customers may qualify for enhanced Lifeline benefits, including free wireless service and, in some cases, a free touchscreen smartphone depending on device availability.
Why Phone Access Matters for Disabled Individuals
Reliable phone service can make everyday life easier and safer.
A connected phone may help you:
- Contact doctors or pharmacies
- Reach caregivers or home health aides
- Schedule medical appointments
- Access telehealth services
- Apply for jobs or housing
- Contact emergency services quickly
- Stay connected with family and support networks
For many households, affordable wireless service is not a luxury — it’s a necessity.
