Virginia: Listing of Free Government Phone Providers

Thanks to the Federal Lifeline program, eligible low-income Virginia residents can get help with their phone bills. There are two options:

Receive a monthly discount on a landline phone
Receive a free government phone with free talk/text and data

While most phone service providers can offer the discounted landline option (call your current landline company and ask), not all wireless providers offer free phones.

However, with the creation of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), more phone companies are offering either a free device or a deep discount towards the purchase of a device such as a tablet, laptop, or computer. The plans vary from company to company so take your time and choose the right company and plan for you.

Below is a listing of services providers that offer either Lifeline and or ACP benefits in the state of Virginia:

This list is not a comprehensive listing of all free and discounted Lifeline phone providers in Virginia. As we come across more providers, we will update the list.

Did you know that of the over 769,141 households eligible to receive Lifeline benefits in the state of Virginia, that as of October 2022, only 17 % are actually enrolled? This is according to the Universal Service Aadministrative Co.

If you know of anyone who might be eligible and can benefit from this information, please share this with them.
