Free Government Phone Programs Available in All Montana Cities
Government phone assistance programs are available to eligible residents in all 496 cities throughout Montana. Whether you live in a major metropolitan area or a small rural community, federal programs like Lifeline and ACP (Affordable Connectivity Program) provide essential communication services to qualifying households.
These programs ensure that all Americans have access to phone and internet services, regardless of their location or financial situation. Benefits include monthly service discounts, free smartphones, unlimited talk and text, and data allowances. The exact benefits and available providers may vary by city, but the core programs are available statewide.
To qualify for free government phone service in Montana, your household income must be at or below 135-200% of Federal Poverty Guidelines, or you must participate in qualifying government assistance programs such as SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, Federal Public Housing Assistance, or the Veterans Pension program. Many college students also qualify through Federal Pell Grant eligibility.
The application process is simple and can be completed online in just a few minutes. Most applicants receive instant approval, especially those qualifying through program participation. Once approved, benefits are applied directly to your monthly service bill, reducing or eliminating your communication costs. You can combine Lifeline and ACP benefits for maximum savings.
