Independent guide — not the government, not a Lifeline provider

WY · updated April 2026

Best Free Government Phone Providers in Wyoming (2026)

Lifeline is a federal program giving eligible low-income Wyoming residents $9.25/month off phone or internet service. Most people qualify through Medicaid, SNAP, SSI, or Veterans Pension. You apply through a participating provider, not the government — one application and you're done.

Lifeline is free

You will never pay for the benefit itself. The government pays it directly to your chosen phone provider.

You can bring your current phone number over. Nothing you care about gets left behind.

No spam. No robocalls.

  • Income-based: You qualify if your household income is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
