Government Assisted Home Phone Service

Limited Time Promotions

  • Free First Month
  • No Activation Charge

This limited time offer is valid to customers who already benefit from a form of Government Assistance and who live in an area served by AT&T in the qualified states. Check your state's plans and pricing by clicking the Order button below.
Basic Plans from $21/mo in most states.

Qualifying Government Assistance Programs:

  • Medicaid
  • Food Stamps (SNAP)
  • Supplemental Security Income (or SSI)
  • Federal Public Assistance Housing (Section 8)
  • Veteran’s Pension or Survivor’s Pension Benefit

If you or someone who is part of your household is participating in one or more of the above programs, or your total household income in not in excess of 135% of the Federal Poverty Level, you qualify for Lifeline benefits. If you don't apply using the on line order process with a Lifeline certification page, you'll need to submit that using the links to the left for your state. We may also require proof of eligibility.

Additional Information


Texas customers will need to apply with the Texas PUC appointed administrator for the Low Income discount (LIDA). Customers can do this by submitting the LITE-UP form (form must be filed with LITE-UP Texas as per instructions provided on the application)
Once we have received the formed, signed, with the appropriate documentation, or, for Texas customers, receive notification from the LIDA, we'll put you on our government assisted home phone program.

FREE activation promotion is not for customers who have previously taken advantage of this promotion in the past. Please call to find out what promotions are now available to you.

FREE activation is for the phone service only. If you're ordering other services like additional Long Distance or Internet Access, we must receive payment for that portion before placing the order.
