Access to affordable phone service, whether it is landline, wireless or internet, is important to helping people stay connected. Lifeline and the Telephone Assistance Program are two programs that help make phone service more affordable. Individuals who qualify can receive a discount on their phone or internet service bill.

The Telephone Equipment Distribution (TED) Program can help people who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing or have a physical or speech disability complete Lifeline and Telephone Assistance Program applications.
