While the latest statistics from the U.S. government suggests that our economy is still on solid footing, some experts have pointed out the impact rising interest rates may have on the lives of the average American households — higher mortgage payment, more conservative hiring plans by business owners, as well as financial market contractions.
In times like this, even those living in states that have seen decent economic growth over the past decade, such as Oklahoma, will be looking for ways to cut down on expenses for things like food, gas, and utilities. In this guide to free cell phone service in Oklahoma, we will help you get started with some affordable ways to stay connected with friends and family
The Affordable Connectivity Program
The good news is that there are plenty of options out there, including programs that are created and funded by the government to help lower-income households to access reliable internet and mobile phone services.
Two of the most well-known government programs to help low-income Americans stay connected are the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) and the Lifeline Program. The ACP was launched by the federal government to give low-income individuals and families access to affordable WiFi and mobile phone service.
Lifeline, on the other hand, offers more affordable phone and internet services for eligible low income families and individuals by providing a subsidy that reduces monthly costs for phone services.
EASY Wireless Free Unlimited Plan
At EASY Wireless, our goal is to help you take full advantage of these two programs, so that you can stay connected. Eligible customers will be able to access benefits such as unlimited data through our stores across the U.S.
Our services have recently been expanded to Oklahoma. Just check the list and come visit one of our retail stores at a location near you and we’ll help you get set up with your free government phone plan in no time.
