Qualify today for your free smartphone and data in Joplin! Here’s how.

EASY Wireless works with the Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity programs to make free smartphones and free data a reality for many in Joplin.

Joplin, Missouri, is the hub where four states meet, and we are proud to serve people from all of them. Like many communities, we were hit hard by the tornado of 2011, but we have rallied together and have come back even stronger.

Our Main Street is vibrant and great for shopping local. You will find us right off of Main Street and Route 66 on 7th Street.

About Easy Wireless in Joplin, Missouri

We are in the strip mall behind Walgreens on the corner of 7th and Maiden Lane, directly next to H&R Block. We are handicap accessible and have plenty of free parking.

You will find a wide range of accessories: headphones, earphones, speakers, phone cases, memory cards, and more!

The main landmark in our area is Cunningham Park, the memorial for the victims of the 2011 Joplin tornado. It's located just down the street from us.

How does the Lifeline Program work in Joplin, Missouri?

The Lifeline program is designed to help people who struggle to pay their phone bills. The government recognizes that having access to phone service is necessary for everything from work to emergency services.

You are immediately eligible for the Lifeline program if you partake in any of the following government programs:

• Federal Public Housing Assistance (FPHA)
• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• Veterans Pension and Survivors Benefit
• Medicaid

You may also qualify if you make under the amounts on the chart below, depending on your household size.

If you can qualify for the Lifeline program, you will also be able to qualify for the ACP and get greater rewards. If you don’t qualify for the Lifeline, you may qualify for the ACP and still get great offers!

What are the Main Goals of the Affordable Connectivity Program?

The FCC's Affordable Connectivity Program is a benefit program that helps people stay connected to the internet.

The Affordable Connectivity Program is available to households if at least one member of the home participates in one of the following government programs:

• National School Lunch Program (NSLP)
• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• Veterans Pension and Survivors Benefit
• Federal Public Housing Assistance (FPHA)
• Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
• Medicaid
• Pell Grant Awards

Just like the Lifeline Program, you can also qualify for this benefit by making under the allowed amounts on the chart. It is even easier to qualify by income, and almost half of all Americans can, so check and see if you can get a free phone and more from EASY Wireless.

How Do You Get Approved for Service at Our Joplin EASY Wireless Store?

To qualify for service at our Joplin EASY Wireless Store, customers must provide identification papers such as a driver's license, birth certificate, or passport.

You also need to bring proof of government assistance or your income. To show you qualify by income, you can bring last year's tax return or three months’ worth of pay stubs.
