AirTalk Wireless Lifeline plan
AirTalk Wireless, part of HTH Communications, offers a $0 Lifeline plan on the AT&T network. This page sums up what its own website says you get, and what to check before you apply. We have not tested the service ourselves.
What network does AirTalk Wireless use?
AirTalk Wireless uses the AT&T network. AirTalk's own pages do not name it. Florida's utility commission says so in an October 2024 order.
What the free plan includes
| Minutes | Unlimited |
|---|---|
| Texts | Unlimited |
| Data | 5 GB on its sign-up page; up to 10 GB on its home and qualify pages; offers vary by state |
| Free phone included | Yes |
| Network | AT&T |
Its qualify page says qualifying Lifeline plans include a free 4G or 5G smartphone. These are certified pre-owned models (used phones that have been checked). Its home page lists Apple and Samsung models at $0.00. But on November 5 its free-phone page offered an "A67L Gen2 For Only $0". It listed the iPhone 7 at "Our Price Varies by region" and every other model as out of stock. That page says the free phone is for new and eligible former customers only, and asks for your ZIP code and email to show which phone you can get. The site also has a Bring Your Own Device option for a phone you already have, if it is unlocked (not tied to one phone company).
