If You Already Receive a Lifeline Benefit

If you're already leveraging the benefits of the Lifeline program, you also qualify for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), a

You can choose to allocate your ACP and Lifeline benefits to the same service or to different ones as per your requirements. You have the flexibility to apply your ACP and Lifeline benefits to the same or different services based on your specific needs. To begin benefitting from discounts offered by this
