In this post, we will discuss the Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) benefits at AirTalk Wireless and walk you through this helpful step-by-step guide on how to apply for the Lifeline and ACP program

What is the Lifeline and ACP Program? 

Operated by the FCC and funded by the U.S. government, the Lifeline and ACP programs were initiated to provide low-income households with discounts on monthly internet and broadband services. 

  • Lifeline: The Lifeline Program is a government assistance program that provides qualified low-income consumers with discounted phone service. The program’s goal is to ensure that all Americans have affordable access to communication services, which are necessary for employment, education, and other aspects of daily life. 
  • Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP): ACP is a government program that offers low-income households discounted internet service. The program aims to bridge the digital divide and ensure that all Americans have access to affordable broadband internet service.

      Hi, you can check the status of your application at https://airtalkwireless.com/check-status. Normally, it takes about 20-30 minutes for an application to be approved. However, some applications will have to wait 3-4 days or longer for approval. The reason is that your proof documentation needs to be reconfirmed.

  2. Was wanting a phone through airtalk but it wouldn’t let me don’t know why I haven’t had one from them

  3. I have attempted for several months to send through an application for airtalk wireless as i desperately need a phone with service that actually works out where i live and each time i get to the continue button on the page where i choose the program for which i qualify it says internal error check back in 5 minutes, this has been extremely frustrating and i have even tried to reach them through email and phone and still nothing, im beginning to think the company doesnt actually exist and its a way to get information from people!
