Do you need essential phone service but can’t afford it? The federal Lifeline program may be able to help. Lifeline is a program that provides a discount on qualifying phone service for eligible households. Here are three things you need to know about Lifeline before applying.
You Can Choose Between Landline or Mobile
Many people think that Lifeline only applies to landline services, but participants can also choose mobile service from government cell phone providers in Wisconsin. Landline covers either a mobile or landline plan, but not both, so carefully consider which type of service best suits your needs.
Only One Service Per Household is Eligible
Because the Landline program was created to provide essential phone service only, customers are limited to just one discount per eligible household. If you need more than one service, you will have to find another way to pay for it.
You Must Verify Your Eligibility
Eligibility verification is required to sign up for Lifeline service and renew your discount each year. Government cell phone providers in Wisconsin can tell you how to determine, verify and renew your eligibility through the federal Lifeline program’s online verification tool.
