Transfer Lifeline Service

✅ Editorially reviewed 🔒 Secure application 📅 Updated July 2026

When you can transfer

You can transfer your Lifeline benefit to a new participating carrier once per calendar month.

How it works

Apply through a new participating carrier and indicate you're transferring an existing Lifeline benefit; your prior carrier's service will end automatically once the transfer completes.

Keeping your number

In most cases you can port your existing number during the transfer — see our number-porting guide.
