Chances are high that you’ve heard of free government smartphones in Wyoming and are curious about how to get one.
And if you’ve done an online search, you’ve probably come across cell phone companies offering the service.
This can be a bit confusing, as these companies aren’t taking you to government websites. So how do you go about finding a free government smartphone?
This guide answers that question and more.
Can I Actually Get a Free Smartphone From the Government?
Though it’s referred to as a free government cell phone, it is not actually provided by the government. Instead, the government provides a program called the Affordable Connectivity Program or ACP.
If you qualify for the ACP program, the government provides a monthly service discount that you receive through a home internet provider or through a cell phone company. The benefit allows these companies to equip consumers with free or discounted monthly internet service. For cell providers like EASY Wireless, it allows the company to provide free monthly talk, text, and data service and a free cell phone.

Free Government Smartphones in Wyoming FAQs
What type of documentation will I need to provide?
If you’re not automatically verified, you’ll need to provide basic documentation of income or program participation. To qualify through programs, you’ll simply need the award letters from the organization. For income verification, you can use the prior year’s tax returns, three months of pay stubs, and even court papers stating income, such as divorce papers.
How long can I get this service?
As long as you meet the eligibility requirements, we are a participating provider, and the ACP program is still in existence, you can continue to receive this free service. There is no set time limit for how long you can receive benefits.
