• Connecting with job opportunities 
• Emergency and healthcare services 
• Staying in touch with family and friends 

Lifeline offers a discount of up to $9.25 per month for eligible households, and in tribal lands, the discount is even higher. You can use this benefit for either phone service, internet, or a combination of both.
