What is Access Wireless?

Access Wireless is a lifeline service program that provides free cell phones and free monthly minutes to eligible low-income individuals and families. It offers a reliable way to stay connected, especially for those who may not be able to afford a traditional cell phone plan. Access Wireless is a government-sponsored initiative, designed to help bridge the digital divide and ensure that everyone has access to essential communication services. It operates under the Federal Communications Commission's Lifeline Assistance program. Through Access Wireless, eligible participants can apply and qualify for a free smartphone, along with a limited number of monthly voice minutes and text messages. The program is easily accessible and provides an essential lifeline to those in need.
