U.S. Cellular Discounted Lifeline PlansU.S. Cellular is another telecommunications provider that participates in the Federal Lifeline program. Unlike some of the other free government phone providers, U.S. Cellular only offers monthly discounts to its customers. According to the USAC, the monthly discount for non-tribal customers is $7.25 per month (this is based on the support level phase out program ). Individuals living on tribal lands are entitled to an additional $25 per month discount. U.S. Cellular does not list the current monthly Lifeline discount for non-tribal customers on their website, so it’s best to contact them to confirm just how much of a discount they offer. Their site does mention, however, the additional $25 discount for qualified households living on tribal lands. As of this writing, September 2019, U.S. Cellular offers phone service in the states of Iowa, Illinois, Kansas*, Maine, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. *Tribal plans are not applicable in Kansas U.S. Cellular Lifeline PlansBelow is a listing of the Lifeline plans and the monthly charge prior to applying the appropriate discounts.
