Understanding the Lifeline Program
When you hear about a “free government phone,” you’re usually hearing about the Lifeline benefit . This government-benefit program is aimed at making communication services more accessible to low-income households.

It’s a federal benefit program administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) started in 1985 helping millions across the country.
Qualifying for this program means you could get a free phone service and even a free smartphone through EASY Wireless.
