How to Apply and Sign Up for enTouch Wireless Lifeline/ACP

Here’s how to apply for the enTouch Wireless Lifeline/ACP Program:

  • Enroll in the Lifeline program through the National Verifier website.
    Before you begin, gather the required documents that prove your household’s eligibility for Lifeline/ACP benefits.
  • Once you’ve been approved via the National Verifier, proceed to the enTouch website. Click on the “Apply Now” button to initiate your enTouch application.
    Alternatively, if you’d rather use a paper application, you can download a state-specific form. Fill it out with the necessary details.
  • If you’ve chosen the paper application route, mail the completed application along with the required documentation to the address provided in the application form.

After your application is approved, enTouch Wireless will ship your phone through USPS. Keep in mind that the delivery time may vary depending on your location.

*If you’re already part of the Lifeline program, you can reach out to enTouch Wireless to upgrade to the ACP service. It’s a good idea to consider enrolling in both programs, as the benefits of combining Lifeline and ACP plans are much better than having Lifeline alone.

Here are some important points to keep in mind:

  • Make sure your documentation is no older than 12 months from the application date.
  • If you want to keep your current phone number, let Customer Service know. They can help you transfer it.
  • Remember to use your phone regularly. You need to make a call at least once every 30 days to keep your Lifeline service active.
  • Each household is eligible for only one Lifeline account.
