About Us
Free Government Phone is an independent, privately owned educational website created to help people understand how Lifeline and related wireless assistance programs work in the United States.
Our Mission
Government assistance programs can be confusing to navigate, with information spread across federal, state, and provider websites. We aim to bring that information together in one clear, easy-to-read place - explaining eligibility rules, required documents, provider options, and the application process in plain language.
What We Are Not
We are not the FCC, USAC, LifelineSupport.org, the National Verifier, any state government agency, or any wireless carrier. We do not process applications, determine eligibility, or guarantee approval, devices, or pricing. We are not a government-approved or government-endorsed website.
How We Stay Accurate
Our content is researched using publicly available information from the FCC, USAC, USDA, Medicaid.gov, the Social Security Administration, and official provider websites. See our editorial standards for more on our research and review process.
