Please read this carefully. We want to be completely clear about who we are — and who we are not — so you always know where the official Lifeline program lives and so no one can confuse or mislead you.
We are an Independent Website
LifelineFree.com is a privately owned, independent website. We are not the government, and we are not part of any official program.
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any of the following:
- The U.S. government
- The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
- The Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC)
- The Lifeline program
- Any state government or state phone/internet program
We are not a Phone Provider
We are also not a Lifeline provider or carrier. This means:
- We cannot sign you up for Lifeline.
- We cannot approve or deny your application.
- We cannot give you a free phone, SIM card, or phone service.
- We do not collect Lifeline applications or handle your enrollment.
Our job is simply to explain the program in plain language and help you find the right official place to go.
Where the Official Program Lives
The real Lifeline program is run by the government and USAC. For official information and to apply, use these sources:
- lifelinesupport.org — the official Lifeline website (run by USAC)
- The National Verifier — the official system used to check if you qualify
- fcc.gov — the Federal Communications Commission
If you want to apply, you can do it directly through the official National Verifier or through an approved provider. You do not need us — and you never have to pay a fee to apply for the real program.
A Simple Rule that Protects You
Government benefit programs like Lifeline are free to apply for. If any website, ad, phone call, or person asks you to pay money just to apply for Lifeline, that is a warning sign of a possible scam. When in doubt, go straight to lifelinesupport.org.
About the Names and Logos We use
We sometimes mention the names of the Lifeline program, government agencies, and phone providers. All names, logos, and trademarks belong to their owners. We use them only to identify and explain these programs and companies. Using a name does not mean that company or agency is connected to us or endorses us.
Why We Made this so clear
Many people searching for free phone help have been confused or tricked by websites that pretend to be the government. We never want that to happen to you. Knowing exactly who we are — an independent helper, not the program itself — keeps you safe and in control.
