Understanding the Programs

Most "Free Government Tablet" offers are powered by these two critical FCC initiatives.

Lifeline Program

What is it? A permanent government program started in 1985 to ensure low-income Americans have access to phone service.

  • Provides a monthly discount (usually $9.25) on phone or internet service.
  • Can be combined with other offers for better plans.
  • Strict one-per-household rule.

Affordable Connectivity (ACP)

What is it? A newer program defined to bring high-speed internet to every home. This program funds the "One-Time Device Discount".

  • Provides up to $100 off a tablet or laptop.
  • Provides up to $30/month ($75 on Tribal lands) for internet.
  • Often combined with Lifeline for "Unlimited" data plans.
