FAQs

Plan questions

Data allowances vary by state and by carrier, since some states require or fund enhanced minimum service levels. Your exact allowance will be confirmed by the carrier you're matched with.
Lifeline discounts apply per household, not per line, so each qualifying household member would need to apply individually and only one Lifeline discount is allowed per household.
In most cases, yes — contact your participating carrier directly to change plan tiers. Switching carriers entirely is limited to once per month under Lifeline transfer rules.
