Lifeline is an official government program established in 1985 by the FCC to help make phone and internet service more affordable for low-income households. It was created to ensure that everyone, no matter their income, can stay connected to family, work, school, and emergency services.

You may qualify if you participate in a government assistance program such as SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, or Federal Public Housing Assistance, or if your household income meets the program's requirements. Don't worry, the application will guide you through the eligibility check step by step.

Nope! Your monthly plan, which includes data, talk, and text, is completely covered through the Lifeline benefit. You'll only ever pay if you choose to add optional upgrades or extra services.

It's quick and easy! Just enter your ZIP Code, fill out the online application, and submit your eligibility documents (if required). Once approved, we'll ship your free SIM card straight to your door so you can activate your service and start talking, texting, and browsing.

Most applications are reviewed within minutes! In some cases, it may take up to a few hours if additional verification is needed. You'll receive an email as soon as your application is approved and your order is on its way.

Yes! You can keep your existing number when you activate your StandUp SIM. Once it arrives, just call 1-800-544-4441 to transfer your number. It's quick and free!
