WASHINGTON, June 13, 2024 – A company offering affordable mobile wireless plans said it can’t continue providing free service to low-income customers in certain states without certification from the Federal Communications Commission. It first applied for that certification 11 years ago.

TruConnect provides low-income consumers with free mobile phone service through the FCC’s Lifeline program, a Universal Service Fund subsidy that provides qualifying households $9.25 per month off their internet bills.
