How To Switch Your Lifeline Provider

2. Compare Plans First

Make a short list of the providers that serve your state and compare them on the things that matter to you: monthly data, talk and text, whether a free smartphone is included, and whether you can keep your current phone.

Our state pages list every Lifeline provider in your state with its plan details, and each provider page shows the states it covers and how to contact it. Check the provider's own website too, as plans can change during the year.

If you depend on your phone for work or medical appointments, choose a new provider before your old service has any problems, not after.
