It helps those with income-based benefits get a phone and communicate with friends and family.

Availability

Lifeline Service is available to new eligible customers as long as there is sufficient money in the Federal Lifeline funds to cover the discounted rates. In the event that the Federal Lifeline funds are not sufficient to cover new applicants in any given year, Corr Wireless will allocate any and all remaining surplus funds until all qualified customers are covered. Corr Wireless may vary the credit or the number of included minutes as required by changes in federal universal service funding support.

Complete documentation pertaining to the Lifeline Assistance program, the Lifeline Basic Universal Service plan, terms and conditions of use, applicable fees and monthly charges, service availability, and equipment are available at the Corr Wireless retail location in your area.
