Telephone Discounts Available

In these economically challenging times, it is important that everyone know about the assistance available to help people stay connected and have access to vital telephone service. “Lifeline" and "Link-Up" are two assistance programs that provide discounts to low-income consumers on basic residential telephone service. While these programs have been active for years, half of the consumers eligible fail to take advantage of these discounts; we need your help to change that.

The basic concept of the discounts is simple: Lifeline involves discounts on the monthly charges for telephone service, and Link-Up involves a discount on the cost of initiating the service. The discount is available for a primary residential telephone, even a wireless phone. Additional discounts are provided for consumers on tribal lands.
