The LifeLine program is a federal initiative designed to make communication services more affordable for low-income households. By providing monthly discounts on phone or broadband services, LifeLine ensures that everyone can stay connected to essential services, loved ones, and opportunities.
Cal.net can offer LifeLine services in significant portions of 26 California counties. Our sales representatives will be able to verify whether your address falls within the areas that Cal.net is authorized to serve for LifeLine.
Please note that Cal.net offers LifeLine discounts for both broadband (internet) and voice (telephone) services. However, we are authorized to offer only one type of discount for any given household – in other words, you may not receive both benefits; you must choose either internet or telephone support.
