Understanding dual-device promotions and program rules.
Historically, consumers could combine the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) with Lifeline to receive both a free phone and a heavily discounted tablet. However, the ACP has faced funding exhaustion. Currently, the Lifeline program only subsidizes one benefit per household.
Depending on your state, some carriers may still offer a promotional bundle where you receive a free smartphone and can purchase a tablet at a heavily discounted price (e.g., .01). Always read the checkout terms carefully to understand if a co-pay is required for the tablet.
