Oklahoma: Listing of Free Government Phone Providers

Low-income Oklahoma residents who are having a difficult time paying their phone bills may qualify for the Oklahoma Lifeline program.

Lifeline is a federal program administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The purpose is to provide telephone service for low-income individuals and families. The phone assistance may come in the form of a free cell phone with free airtime/texting and data, or in discounted landline service.

While most phone companies participate in the landline monthly phone discount (just call your phone company and ask), not all companies offer free phones. Below is a listing of phone providers offering free government phones in the state of Oklahoma:

Companies offering discounted Lifeline phone benefits (not free):

This list may not contain all phone companies offering free cell phones. We will continue to update the list as we find more free phone service providers in the Oklahoma area.

Discounted Phone Line Phase Out

FYI: According to the Federal Communications Commission, the monthly Lifeline landline phone discounts are being phased out. By December 1, 2021 discounted phone (voice) service will no longer be available. The $9.25 monthly discount for broadband (internet) will remain constant, but the voice discount is being phased out is as follows:

Currently until November 30, 2019 - $9.25 per month credit
From December 1, 2019-November 30,2020 - $7.25 per month credit
From December 1, 2020-November 30,2021 - $5.25 per month credit
Effective December 1,2021 - $0.00

The rationale is probably because more and more people are opting to use cellular service instead of landlines. Unfortunately, those who prefer landlines will either be forced to get a free cell phone or foot the entire monthly landline cost themselves.
