Free Government iPhone Eligibility by State

Free Government iPhone Eligibility by State

Although Lifeline and the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) are federal initiatives, specific eligibility rules, available benefits, and the list of approved providers can differ significantly from state to state. Our expert-researched guides are designed to help you quickly find the specific requirements and local options available where you live. Select your state below to get started.

Why State-Specific Information Matters

While the federal government sets baseline eligibility for programs like Lifeline and ACP (e.g., income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines), states have their own Public Utility Commissions (PUCs) or similar bodies that can influence how these programs are administered locally. This can lead to variations in approved providers, additional state-level benefits, or different verification processes. Our guides help you navigate these local nuances.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

Our U.S.-based team regularly reviews official state government resources, FCC announcements, and provider websites to ensure the information in our state guides is as accurate and current as possible. We cross-reference data to provide you with reliable guidance you can trust.
