Connecticut: Listing of Free Government Phone Providers

Thanks to the Federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) and Lifeline programs, qualified low-income Connecticut residents can get help with their phone bills. There are a few options:

Receive a monthly discount on a landline phone
Receive a free government phone with free talk/text and data
Receive a mobile device at a deep discount with free or discounted service

While most phone service providers can offer the discounted landline option (call your current landline company and ask), only a few companies offer free phones. Below is a listing of the phone companies servicing Connecticut that offer free phones:

Keep in mind that this list is by no means an exhaustive list of all the free phone providers in the state of Connecticut, but it is a start. As more providers become available, this list will be updated.

Did You Know?: That only 16% of the households eligible to take advantage of the Lifeline and ACP programs have enrolled? According to the Universal Service Administrative Company, as of April 2023, only 65,748 of the 410,540 individuals/households that meet the qualification criteria for the programs have actually enrolled.

If you know of an individual or household that can benefit from these programs, please share this with them
