Likewise, we’re conveniently answering your most common queries here and providing them online for fast and easy service!

So, let’s answer some of your most burning questions:

1. What is Lifeline? How to Qualify and Receive Free Government Phone?

This is one of the most common questions we get here at AirTalk Wireless. Lifeline is a government assisted program that allows us to offer qualifying individuals a FREE phone and FREE monthly cell phone service! This program provides a discount on phone services to millions of qualifying low-income consumers, giving Americans the opportunity and security to stay connected to work, family, friends, healthcare, job opportunities, & 911 emergency services.

Thus, you can qualify for Lifeline if you are participating in other government assistant programs such as SNAP/Food Stamps, Medicaid, SSI, Low Income etc. To learn more about the Lifeline program and how to qualify, visit us here.

AirTalk was previously a partner of ACP (Affordable Connectivity Program). However, ACP ended in 2024 due to a lack of funding. Therefore, customers aspiring to have a free phone and discounted phone plans should apply for Lifeline to get their perks.

2. Which Free Government Phone Do You Offer?

Unlike other government assisted programs, AirTalk Wireless offers eligible customers with a FREE 4G/5G LTE Smartphone device from high-end iconic brands such as Apple, Samsung, Motorola, LG, and more. Specially, AirTalk is the only provider in the nation that offers its subscribers these devices for free at its own cost. These special upgrade devices are a limited time offer and are subject to product availability.

3. Does Free Government Phone Offer International Calling?

We’re glad you asked! Because as a matter of fact, we do! This is one of our newest features that we’re especially proud of! We pride ourselves in keeping you connected, so why limit that nationally? That’s why we now offer FREE Unlimited International Calling to over 80 Countries!
