Free Phone and Tablet Combo

✅ Editorially reviewed 📋 Sourced from FCC & USAC 📅 Updated July 2026

How combo offers work

A small number of participating carriers occasionally bundle a phone and a data-only tablet for qualifying households, though this is less common than a single-device offer.

Why availability is limited

Since only one Lifeline discount applies per household, combo offers depend on the specific carrier's promotional stock rather than being a standard program feature.

How to check

Enter your ZIP code during application to see whether any participating carrier in your area currently offers a combo bundle.

Frequently asked questions

This changes frequently based on carrier promotions and stock — check available offers for your ZIP code during application.
No — a single Lifeline eligibility determination covers your household's one benefit, which a carrier may apply toward a combo device offer if they have one available.
