Using Lifeline For Home Internet Instead Of A Phone

1. Phone Or Internet: How To Choose

If your household already has phones you can afford, putting Lifeline on home internet often saves more, because internet bills are usually higher than prepaid phone plans.

If someone in your home relies on a phone for work or medical calls and has no other way to pay for it, the phone benefit may matter more. Some households use a free Lifeline phone with a hotspot plan to cover light internet use.
