Experience the fastest wireless speeds available on a free government plan.
5G is the fifth generation of cellular network technology. It offers significantly faster download speeds, lower latency (less delay), and the ability to connect more devices simultaneously compared to 4G LTE. This makes it ideal for HD video streaming, remote learning, and telehealth appointments.
Yes. If you live in an area with 5G towers and you receive a 5G-capable smartphone through your Lifeline provider (or bring your own 5G unlocked phone), your free monthly plan will automatically connect to the 5G network. There is no extra charge for 5G access.
Our partner carriers utilize the nationwide 5G networks of T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. Currently, 5G is primarily available in urban and suburban environments. If you travel outside of a 5G coverage zone, your phone will seamlessly drop down to the highly reliable 4G LTE network without dropping your call.
