How Is it Free?

Recognizing how crucial it is to stay connected, especially for those with limited financial resources, the federal government introduced the Lifeline Assistance program in 1985. This program aims to ensure that everyone has access to a phone, even if they can't afford the full cost of service.

If you meet the federal eligibility criteria, you can enjoy free phone service from Standup Wireless in states where they participate in the Lifeline Assistance program. Additionally, some states have their own Lifeline programs, offering extra ways to qualify and additional state support.

Each qualifying household can receive one Lifeline discount. With Standup Wireless, you not only get free phone service but also a data allowance and even a free mobile smartphone when you sign up. Plus, you'll benefit from reliable nationwide coverage, including 5G (where available) and 4G LTE services.

What Our Customers Say

Real experiences from satisfied customers

Trustpilot

"I formerly had Assurance Wireless which was so awful I could barely make a call. I saw a Standup Wireless tent and thought I'd give it a try. In less than 10 minutes I got a phone and service and it has been excellent. The service is perfect."

"I've had Standup Wireless for over 5 years. It has a wide coverage area and is good for contacting my family. It even allows internet data I can use to tether my laptop or other devices."
