Cintex Wireless Lifeline plan

Cintex Wireless, part of HTH Communications, has advertised a $0 Lifeline plan. USAC shows no Lifeline customers for Cintex Wireless in May 2026. 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 Cintex Wireless use?

We could not confirm it. On November 5, 2026 we checked its website, including its terms, and its filings with the FCC and state utility commissions. The only page that names a network, its open internet statement, still says Sprint, which has since merged into T-Mobile. Cintex Wireless's apply page now sends new sign-ups to AirTalk Wireless, which uses the AT&T network, according to an October 2024 Florida order. If you already have a Cintex Wireless line, call 1-855-655-3097 to ask.

What the free plan includes

The site lists two phones, a "Generic Smartphone" and a "Generic 4G LTE Flip Phone". The home page marks both free. The phone list gives each price as "Varies by region". The qualify page calls its smartphones "Certified Pre-Owned", meaning used phones that have been checked. The plan page offers "Free Smartphone or Bring your own device". A phone you bring must be unlocked (not tied to one phone company). On November 5 the phone list showed the bring-your-own option as "Out of Stock".

Where Cintex Wireless serves
