Does Phone Government work where I live?

Our service uses major nationwide partner networks, so most customers get the same coverage they'd expect from a major carrier. Coverage can vary indoors, in rural areas and underground. Use the ZIP checker above or call us to confirm.

Is 5G coverage available?

5G is available in many metro and suburban areas and is expanding. 5G phones automatically switch to 4G LTE where 5G isn't available.

Are there state-specific Lifeline rules?

Yes. Some states, such as California and Oregon, run their own Lifeline programs alongside the federal benefit, with state-specific applications and rules. We'll guide you through any extra steps for your state.
