* Many states offer plans that have free promotional periods. However, if there is a charge
for the plan you've chosen we must receive payment before we activate your service.
If you are ordering one of the Lifeline assistance plans, we must receive a signed certification form from
you or you will not be eligible for the Lifeline discount. The Lifeline certification form is
integrated into the on-line ordering process for most states. If you ordered your service over
the phone you'll need to submit a Lifeline form by logging into
the customer portal or by printing it and sending it in. It can be sent in via fax, mail, text,
or email. Also, as of June 1, 2012, you must submit proof of
your enrollment in the qualifying program (i.e. Medicaid, Section 8 housing, etc), or
proof of income if qualifying base on income.
** On-line ordering not available in all states at this time.
