Did you know you can potentially receive both a free phone and a free tablet through government assistance programs? While the Lifeline program traditionally covers phone service, some providers have expanded their offerings to include tablets, creating attractive combo deals for qualifying families.
How to Get a Free Phone and Tablet Together
There are several pathways to receiving both devices:
- Lifeline + ACP combination — Lifeline provides the phone, while ACP previously offered device discounts for tablets.
- Provider bundled offers — Some Lifeline providers offer both a phone and tablet as part of enrollment.
- State-specific programs — Certain states have additional tablet programs.
