1. We are not a government agency
Lifeline Free iPhone is not affiliated with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), the National Verifier, the Affordable Connectivity Program, or any state Public Utility Commission. Nothing on this website should be interpreted as official government communication.
2. We are not a Lifeline provider
We do not sell wireless service, do not process Lifeline applications, do not decide eligibility, and do not ship phones. Every device pictured on this Site is offered by a third-party Lifeline provider whose current terms, stock, and availability control your actual experience.
3. Eligibility is decided by the federal National Verifier
Whether your household qualifies for Lifeline is determined by the federal National Verifier operated by USAC under FCC oversight, based on the eligibility rules in 47 CFR § 54.400 et seq. Nothing you read on this Site guarantees approval.
You can check your eligibility yourself for free at checklifeline.org.
4. Device model, price and shipping
iPhone models, colors, storage capacity, retail comparisons, shipping timelines and monthly credit amounts vary by Lifeline provider, ZIP code, and current wholesale stock. Listings on this Site are indicative and were last verified on July 2026. They can change without notice.
5. Editorial independence and affiliate links
Our editors decide which Lifeline providers we recommend and how we rank them, based on the criteria in our Review Process. Some outbound provider links are affiliate links; we may earn a referral fee at no cost to you. Advertising never influences editorial decisions.
6. Not legal, financial or tax advice
Guides on this Site are for general information only. They do not constitute legal, financial, tax, or benefits-eligibility advice for your specific situation. Where the law of your state affects your Lifeline benefit, consult the relevant state agency or a qualified professional.
7. External links
We link to government, provider, and third-party publisher sites we believe to be authoritative. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, security, or terms of any external site. Inclusion of a link is not an endorsement of everything on the destination site.
8. Trademarks
Apple, iPhone, iPad, App Store, iOS, MagSafe and Face ID are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. Lifeline is a program of the FCC and USAC. All other trademarks belong to their respective owners. Their use on this Site is nominative and does not imply endorsement.
