Free Phone and Tablet Combo: Get Both in One Application
Why settle for one device? Several Lifeline providers bundle a free phone with a low-cost tablet in a single sign-up. Here’s how the combos really work.
How Combos Actually Work
Which Combo Fits You?
1. Do you already have a phone you’re happy with?
2. What matters more day to day?
3. What’s your budget for one-time co-pays?

What Each Device Is For
- Phone: calls, texts, and life on the move. Your Lifeline line lives here.
- Tablet: video calls, telehealth, classes, and reading on a screen you can actually see.
- Together: hotspot from the phone when Wi-Fi is missing; big screen when you’re home.
- One plan: both devices run on the same account, so there’s a single point of contact for support.
