1. Not a government agency
Lifeline Free iPhone is not the FCC, USAC, the National Verifier, a state public utility commission, or any other government agency. Nothing on this website is an official government notice or eligibility decision.
2. Not a wireless provider
We do not provide wireless service, decide Lifeline eligibility, control provider inventory, or ship phones. USAC handles federal eligibility and each provider controls its own enrollment, service, device, billing, activation and shipping terms.
3. Phone model, price, condition and shipping can change
A “free government iPhone” is a common consumer search phrase, not a federal guarantee. A provider may offer a free phone, discounted phone, paid device or BYOD option. Model, storage, condition, price, fees, shipping and availability can vary by ZIP code and date. Verify the live provider offer before enrolling.
4. No approval guarantee
Nothing on this website guarantees Lifeline approval, a fixed approval time or a fixed delivery time. Eligibility verification may be automatic or may require documents, and provider fulfillment is a separate process.
5. Use the controlling source
For federal eligibility and benefit rules, use USAC and FCC materials. For a separate state program, use the responsible state agency. For iPhone specifications, use Apple. For current device price, stock, fees, shipping and plan terms, use the participating provider.
6. General information only
Content on this site is general informational material and is not legal, financial, tax or individualized benefits advice. Rules and provider terms can change.
7. External websites
Links to government agencies, providers and other websites are provided for convenience and source verification. Those sites control their own content, security, availability and terms.
8. Trademarks
Apple, iPhone, iOS, MagSafe and related Apple marks belong to Apple Inc. Other trademarks belong to their respective owners. Use of a name or mark for identification does not imply endorsement.
