Lifeline, the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) Program and Red Pocket Mobile

What’s the difference between EBB and Lifeline? 

Lifeline is another program that helps qualified applicants with internet and phone service by subsidizing the cost of your plan. Lifeline approved applicants, like EBB approved applicants, must use a service provider who works with the Lifeline program to acquire service.

At this time, Red Pocket Mobile does not provide service for Lifeline approved applicants, but this may change in the future.

If I’m enrolled in the Lifeline Program, can I receive free service through the Lifeline with Red Pocket when the EBB Program ends?

Unfortunately, Red Pocket Mobile does not support the Lifeline Program at this time. Your Lifeline benefits must be used with a Lifeline service provider. If you decide to keep your account with Red Pocket Mobile and the EBB program ends, your plan will be charged at our standard monthly rates.
