1. Lifeline Program
Lifeline Support is a monthly support that reduces the
cost of monthly wireless telephone service or residential
home telephone service. An eligible
AirTalk Wireless customer may
receive a Lifeline discount on wireless service, but the
Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone
connection per household. Lifeline support may vary
between states but will at least equal the dollar amount
AirTalk Wireless receives in
Federal Universal Service Support.
Subscribers may qualify for the
AirTalk Wireless Lifeline program
if they participate in one of the government programs
listed below or qualified based on household income
eligibility standards as defined below. When completing
the AirTalk Wireless application,
subscriber acknowledges and consents to the use of
Subscriber's Name, Telephone Number, Address, Date of
Birth, Last Four Digits of the Subscriber's Social
Security Number, amount of support being sought, means of
qualification for support and dates of service initiation
and termination to be given to the Universal Service
Administrative Company (USAC) (the administrator of the
program) and/or its agents for the purpose of verifying
that subscriber does not receive more than one Lifeline
benefit. Refusal to grant this permission will mean
consumer is not eligible for Lifeline service. Subscriber
grants authorization to
AirTalk Wireless to access any
records required to verify subscribers's statements
herein and to confirm continued eligibility for Lifeline
assistance. This consent survives any termination of this
agreement. If the subscriber or any member of the
subscriber's family participates in a Lifeline program
from another provider, the subscriber is responsible for
notifying the other provider that they have been approved
for the AirTalk Wireless Lifeline program and request
their service with the other provider be disconnected.
Notice to terminate service from any other provider's
Lifeline program must be given if activating new service
in the AirTalk Wireless Lifeline program.
AirTalk Wireless subscribers may
qualify for a Lifeline service offering if the subscriber
meets certain State and Federal eligibility requirements.
These requirements are determined by the state where the
subscriber resides. These State and Federal eligibility
requirements are also based on either program-based
eligibility or income-based eligibility.
Program Based Eligibility
Program based eligibility varies by state. AirTalk
Wireless subscribers are eligible to receive Lifeline
discounts, under the program-based eligibility, if they
participate in one or more of the following programs and
the state participates in that program:
Income Based Eligibility
Income based eligibility varies by state. Some states do
not offer income-based eligibility for Lifeline. AirTalk
Wireless subscribers are eligible to receive Lifeline,
under the income-based eligibility, if subscriber's
household income meets or is less than 135% of the Federal
Poverty Guidelines for a household of the subscriber's
size. Proof of income documentation may be provided to
National Verifier to demonstrate income-based eligibility.
Lifeline Rules

4. Annual Recertification, Verification, or Termination of Lifeline Programs
Subscribers participating in the AirTalk Wireless Lifeline program will be automatically recertified on an annual basis, and their qualification
to continue to participate in the Lifeline program is based on the appropriate state or federal recertification and after reverification requirements. Every subscriber in
the National Verifier recertification will go through an initial automated data check that will check for the subscriber's eligibility. Subscribers whose eligibility cannot
be verified via the initial automated check will be required to self-certify their eligibility. USAC (Universal Service Administrative Company) will conduct outreach to these
subscribers and require that they self-certify. Subscribers that fail the initial data source checks will be prompted to self-certify during a 60-day window. Failure to
self-certify during this time will result in automatic de-enrollment. USAC can determine, at its sole discretion, if a subscriber meets the annual recertification requirements
and if the subscriber fails to re-qualify for Lifeline service. If USAC is unable to recertify the required Lifeline qualifications, the subscriber will
be deemed ineligible to further participate in the AirTalk Wireless Lifeline program.
AirTalk Wireless reserves the right to cancel or suspend, without notice, a subscriber's account for any fraudulent related reasons or upon the
request of any state or federal authority's request. AirTalk Wireless subscribers have the ability to terminate from the Lifeline program for any

6. AirTalk Wireless Services
AirTalk Wireless service is provided at the company's discretion. AirTalk Wireless may change pricing or the company's
Terms and Conditions of Service, from time to time, without notice. Unless expressly prohibited by law, AirTalk Wireless reserves the right to modify or
cancel a subscriber's service, an account, or take corrective action at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, violation of any provision of these
Terms and Conditions of Service. Check the AirTalk Wireless website, https://airtalkwireless.com, for the most recent pricing and changes to the
Terms and Conditions of Service. A subscriber's right to use AirTalk Wireless service is subject to AirTalk Wireless business
practices, policies, procedures, rates and Terms and Conditions of Service. AirTalk Wireless may change the Terms and Conditions of Service at any time.
AirTalk Wireless will notify subscribers of change to the Terms and Conditions of Service that are determined to be materially adverse to a
subscriber's service 30 days in advance of the change. If subscriber does not terminate service within 30 days of receiving this notice of a change in the Terms and
Conditions of Service, subscriber agrees to accept any such changes.
AirTalk Wireless provides mobile telecommunications services using the geographic areas covered by two of the largest 5G+ networks in America.
International calling is subject to additional Terms and Conditions. AirTalk Wireless may provide Lifeline
supported services in these areas based on state or entity authorized licensing areas. AirTalk Wireless does not guarantee coverage availability in all
areas. Local phone numbers may not be available in all areas. Subscribers do not have the ability to use AirTalk Wireless service with any other wireless
phone, device, or on another network. Subscribers may not use an AirTalk Wireless handset with any other service or network. Airtime may be used for
domestic calling from the United States and for other services as provided in these Terms and Conditions of Service. AirTalk Wireless service is for
personal use only and may not be used in a manner that interferes with another AirTalk Wireless customer's use of service.
AirTalk Wireless has determined that ability to provide good service to subscribers may be impaired when customers place abnormally high number of calls,
sends, or receive unusually high number of messages, or repeatedly place calls of unusually long duration, relative to typical usage by other AirTalk
Wireless customers on similar service plans. Such non-typical usage suggests that a wireless phone is being used for other than personal use and is in violation of these Terms
and Conditions of Service. AirTalk Wireless services are provided solely for live dialogue between two individuals. AirTalk
Wireless services may not be used for any type of monitoring services, any data transmissions, or other non-personal related connections that do not consist of uninterrupted
live dialogue between two individuals. An AirTalk Wireless subscriber account may be terminated, without notice, if a subscriber's usage is
determined to be used in violation of the Terms and Conditions of Service for non-personal use, pager service, voicemail retrieval service, or other uses deemed inappropriate.
AirTalk Wireless services use radio transmissions and are therefore affected by limitations. Coverage is not available everywhere. Quality of service may
be affected by conditions beyond AirTalk Wireless control, including atmospheric, geographical, or topographical conditions. Service may also be affected
by damage to wireless handsets. AirTalk Wireless does not guarantee, or warrant, that service will be available at any specific time or geographical
location, or that service will be provided without possible interruption. You should therefore never solely rely on your wireless phone for emergency calls, such as to 911.
AirTalk Wireless customers have access to dial 911 in an emergency. However, occasionally a subscriber may attempt to call 911 in an area where there is
no wireless coverage. If there is no wireless coverage, a subscriber&'s call to 911 may not go through and the subscriber should dial 911 from the nearest landline phone.
By applying or activating or using service with AirTalk Wireless, a subscriber agrees not to use AirTalk Wireless services in any
way that is illegal, abusive, or fraudulent. This will be determined by AirTalk Wireless in its sole discretion. You may also not alter any of the
software or hardware on your AirTalk Wireless handset for any purpose. AirTalk Wireless phones may not be sold to third parties.
In order to verify if you reside within a service area, please visit https://airtalkwireless.com. You may enter your ZIP code or locate coverage maps on the website to
verify coverage. The map is only an approximation of actual coverage and may differ substantially from the areas of coverage shown on the website. Coverage can be affected by
many factors such as weather, terrain, buildings, equipment, signal strength or many other factors that may affect network coverage. AirTalk Wireless
does not guarantee coverage or network availability.
