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.

ACP 提供的服务（并可再次提供）：

✅每月电话和网络账单折扣。

✅免费或打折智能手机。

✅ 根据收入或参与援助计划的情况，轻松申请并获得资格。
