Idaho: Listing of Free Government Phone Providers

Thanks to the Federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) and Lifeline programs, qualified low-income Idaho 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
