Choice Wireless Lifeline PlansAs a participant in the Federal Lifeline program Choice Wireless can provide free cell phones along with free talk/text and data to eligible residents of Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. The Lifeline program makes it possible for low-income individuals to enjoy the benefits of mobile technology. As such, Choice Wireless offers two different Lifeline programs, the Tribal Lifeline Plan and the Standard Lifeline Plan. Choice Wireless - Tribal Lifeline PlanFor qualified individuals/households living on Tribal lands, you get unlimited calling and data, plus a $99 credit toward any device. The phones come equipped with voicemail, caller ID, call forwarding and 3-way calling. ![]() Choice Wireless - StandardUnlike the Tribal Lifeline Plan where there's a $99 credit towards purchasing any device, the Standard Lifeline offers unlimited calling and 20GB of full-speed data. That includes unlimited text messaging and picture messaging nationwide. As with the Tribal Plan, the phones all have voicemail, caller ID, 3-way calling, and call forwarding. Choice Wireless - Affordable Connectivity ServicesChoice Wireless also participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). If you qualify for Lifeline, you will also qualify for ACP. By enrolling in both Lifeline and ACP, you can broaden your wireless coverage. The additional discounts Choice Wireless offers fall within the guidelines of the Affordable Connectivity Program, but their website isn’t very clear as to the exact discount amount. The site is very clear about the Lifeline phone services offered, but less so when it comes to internet plans. Unless you already use Choice Wireless as your Lifeline service provider, it is recommended that you contact Choice directly to see exactly what they offer as a result of the Affordable Connectivity Program.

Gather the Necessary DocumentationIf you qualify by meeting one of the above criteria, gather the necessary documentation to prove your eligibility. You will need a current Approval or Benefits Letter showing your participation in the program. Or, if you qualify based on income, you’ll need documentation that shows your annual income. Make sure to include the size of your household too. In addition, you’ll need a government-issued form of identification to prove you are who you say you are. Documents such as a driver’s license, military ID, passport, or birth certificate will do. Just make sure it's a government-issued ID. How to Apply to Choice Wireless Lifeline ProgramAfter gathering the necessary documents, go to the National Verifier website to begin your Lifeline application. Once approved, go to Choice Wireless to sign up for service. They have two different applications, one for Navajo Nation and the other for Non-Navajo Nation. Because the Choice Wireless website does not specifically outline the broadband discounts offered, it is strongly suggested that you call them before enrollment to make sure you know what you’re applying for.
