Secure ACP Benefits Before It’s Wind Down 

We have some unfortunate news to share: The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is set to wind down soon according to the recent notification from the FCC as new ACP enrollments were frozen completely on February 8, 2024. Without additional funding, this program is expected to end in April 2024, marking this as the final full month to receive your free ACP phone service. Further details on the exact end date and undiscounted rate to maintain your service will be provided later. 

 But don’t worry! Your phone service will continue uninterrupted until an announcement of the ACP program’s final date. 

Will Lifeline be affected?

Despite the ACP potentially pausing, Lifeline will continue without any impact, so there’s no need to worry! AirTalk Wireless is authorized to provide Lifeline services in 50 states. Once ACP is discontinued, you’ll still be able to keep your connection with your Lifeline service at $0/mo to enjoy unlimited voice, text, and 4.5GB of data. This is what separates us from our competitors.  

Need more data? We have an offer for only $10/mo to get unlimited voice, text, and 10GB/mo.

Due to the decrease in funding from Congress, the FCC anticipates that the current funding for the ACP program is projected to run out at the end of April 2024.

Can I still enroll for AirTalk at this time? 

Due to the enrollment shut down on February 7th 20, according to the FCC, AirTalk Wireless will not be accepting new applicants after this date. For more information, please visit the FCC website.

What causes Transfer Out?

  • Benefit is limited to one per household. Meaning that it cannot be used for both home internet and phone service, or multiple people cannot all sign up for the same benefit at the same address.  
  • Registering or applying with multiple providers simultaneously may result in your benefits being transferred from one provider to another. It is advisable to register with one provider at a time and wait for a response before attempting to apply with a different provider. 
  • If you receive a notice from AirTalk stating your benefit was transferred out and you did not authorize this: 
    • Sign the transfer agreement right away to avoid interruption to service 
    • Contact the ACP support center and report that your benefit was moved to an unknown provider without your consent.

  • When presented with an offer for a free phone/service be aware of what you are signing up for and who you are signing up with as this could affect your service with Airtalk 
  • If you receive a notice from AirTalk stating your benefit was transferred out and you did not authorize this: 
    • Sign the transfer agreement right away to avoid interruption to service 
    • Contact the ACP support center and report that your benefit was moved to an unknown provider without your consent.
