Access Wireless Rate Plans

The California LifeLine Program requires a consumer who submits an enrollment request to receive the California LifeLine discounts for cell phone service to wait 24 hours to submit another enrollment request. You CANNOT have multiple enrollment requests for the California LifeLine discounts for cell phone service going at the same time. The 24 hour enrollment freeze ends when either 1) the California LifeLine Administrator sends the final eligibility decision, 2) the enrollment request is cancelled, or 3) the 24 hours have passed since the enrollment request, whichever occurs first. After the 24 hour enrollment freeze, you may then submit another enrollment request for the California LifeLine discounts for cell phone service, as applicable. You can independently cancel an enrollment request by contacting the California LifeLine Administrator by phone at 877-858-7463 or going to Check Your Status at www.californialifeline.com. The cell phone company can also cancel an enrollment request.

You MAY cancel your phone service or switch phone companies at any time. To learn more, go to Program Guidelines at www.californialifeline.com.

Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP):

The ACP is a government benefit program operated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that provides discounts on monthly broadband Internet access service and certain connected devices.  The ACP monthly service and device discounts are non-transferrable. An eligible household is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount. Only one per household is eligible for the ACP program. Eligibility for the ACP will be determined by the National Verifier, administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC). ACP discounts can be applied to any available Access Wireless service plans. Our standard Terms and Conditions, including the Acceptable Use Policy, apply. ACP benefits may be obtained from any participating provider of your choosing and your monthly service benefit may be transferred to another provider at any time. 

Access Wireless will provide eligible households with unlimited voice and unlimited data. Unlimited data includes a fixed amount at high speed. “High Speed” means maximum available network speeds. After monthly allotted high speed data, remaining data provided at 256 kbps. Video typically streams in SD (480p). Lower speeds may affect audio and video streaming, access to certain websites and content, or use of available applications. Offers may vary by state and service may not be available in all areas.
