Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Get Free Government Phone Service?
Enter the ZIP code for your home, review available offers and choose a phone using Select. Complete your Lifeline application and provide any requested documents.
What's Included With The Free Service?
Eligible TAG Mobile customers can receive free monthly service with up to 16GB of data. Plan allowances vary by location and eligibility. A free or discounted device is a separate offer; check your ZIP code for current options.
Who Qualifies For Free Phone Service?
You may qualify through household income or an eligible program such as SNAP, Medicaid or SSI. Complete the application to verify eligibility and local service availability.
Is It Really Free? Are There Any Hidden Fees?
Monthly Lifeline service is free for eligible customers. Device pricing is separate: some phones are free, while others have an upfront cost. Review the displayed price and any charges for optional extras before completing your order.
Can I Keep My Current Phone Number?

I Already Have A Lifeline Phone — Can I Switch To TAG Mobile?
Yes. You can request a transfer to TAG Mobile if service is available in your area. You may need to reapply and give your consent. Once the transfer is complete, your benefit ends with the previous provider; only one Lifeline benefit is allowed per household.
Do I Have To Renew Or Recertify?
Your eligibility is checked each year. If USAC can confirm it automatically, no action is needed. If you receive a recertification notice, respond by the stated deadline to keep your benefit.
