Everything you need to know about the Bring Your Own Phone (BYOP) program.
An unlocked phone is not tied to a specific cellular carrier. If you bought your phone directly from Apple or Samsung, or if you have fully paid off your device through AT&T/Verizon/T-Mobile and requested an unlock, you can use it with any Lifeline provider.
By keeping your own unlocked phone, you don't have to transfer your photos, download your apps again, or learn a new operating system. You simply insert the free SIM card provided by the Lifeline carrier and enjoy free monthly service on the device you already love.
Most households qualify through income or a program like SNAP, Medicaid, or SSI. Check eligibility →
