تحديث ACP UPdate

📣 2025 Update - Rhode Island Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) has provided essential phone and internet service discounts to millions of households across the Country, including many in Rhode Island. Due to recent funding changes, the ACP program is currently paused, and many in RI are asking: “Is ACP ending?” or “When will ACP funding resume?”. The reality is- we don't know (yet).

At Cliq Mobile, we’re actively monitoring ACP updates from the government and the FCC, along with the RI State Government. While ACP funding and benefits are temporarily on hold, experts believe there’s a strong possibility the ACP program may return. Make sure to join our mailing list to be among the first to find out, so that you'll be first in line if/when the program does return.

ما قدمته ACP (ويمكن أن تقدمه مرة أخرى):

✅ خصومات شهرية على فواتير الهاتف والإنترنت.

✅ هواتف ذكية مجانية أو بأسعار مخفضة.

✅ سهولة التقديم والتأهيل على أساس الدخل أو المشاركة في برامج المساعدة.
