That means you get the best at no expense, as well as a FREE smartphone. Of course, as we’ve mentioned you can bring your current phone if you like, and you can keep your phone number. At Life Wireless, we make it all easy. Check out our easy application and see for yourself!

Wondering what the eligibility requirements are to apply?

Each state has different eligibility requirements for the lifeline discount such as receiving government assistance or having a household income that is at or below the federal poverty level for the state in which you reside.

The standard eligibility programs that may be used as proof of subsidy include: Food Stamps / Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Section 8 Federal Public Housing Assistance (FPHA), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid, The Veterans Pension or Survivors Pension, and income at or below 135% of Federal Poverty Guidelines.

You meet the eligibility requirements to receive Life Wireless assistance if you’re participating in any of the federal assistance programs listed here:

  • Food Stamps or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

  • Medicaid (not Medicare)

  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

  • Section 8 Federal Public Housing Assistance (FPHA)

  • Veteran's Pension or Survivor's Pension Benefit

Additionally, if you are a resident of any federally recognized Tribal lands, you may qualify to become lifeline subscribers under the following programs:

  • Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations

  • Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance

  • Tribally Administered Temporary Assistance (TANF)

  • Head Start (if you meet the income-qualifying standards)

 Applying is easy and fast

The trick is to have everything you need on hand when you do the application. And right here, is everything you’ll need!

  • the prior year’s state, federal, or Tribal tax return,

  • a Social Security statement of benefits,

  • a Veterans Administration statement of benefits,

  • a retirement/pension statement of benefits,

  • an Unemployment/Workmen's Compensation statement of benefits, Federal or Tribal notice letter of participation in General Assistance, or

  • a divorce decree, child support award, or other official document containing income information for at least three months’ time.

  • a photo ID that’s been issued by a United States federal, state, or local government or Tribal entity.

So, you’ve been approved. Yay! Now you need to activate your service!

Once your Life Wireless application is approved, and you must complete your activation by placing a call to the Activation Line (770-200-1000).

This call is free and does not reduce your minute balance. Plus, it takes less than one minute to complete!

Additional, important, details

To keep your account active, you need to use the service at least once during any 30-day period by:

  • calling someone,

  • answering a call from someone other than Life Wireless,

  • sending a text message,

  • using cellular data (again, by going on Facebook or Amazon, for example),

  • purchasing additional service from Life Wireless,

  • or by responding to a direct contact from Life Wireless confirming that you want to continue receiving service from Life Wireless.

A final note: please read this...

Should your service go unused for 30 days:

you will no longer be eligible for Lifeline benefits and your phone service may be suspended (allowing only 911 calls and calls to the Life Wireless's customer care center), and subject to a 15-day cure period during which you must use the service (as described above) in order to fully re-activate your lifeline service and keep your telephone number.
