Common questions
Is this the “free government phone” program?
People often call it that. Lifeline is a federal program (in California, it works together with California LifeLine) that lowers the monthly cost of phone service. For people who qualify, service can be free. Phones come from the participating phone company and are not guaranteed. There is only one Lifeline benefit per household. You need proof of eligibility, and the program decides who qualifies. Rera Enterprises is a private business, not a government agency; we help you apply in person.
Am I guaranteed to be approved?
No. Approval is decided by the program and the phone company after they review your application. We help you through the process, but no one can promise approval.
What should I bring?
Bring a photo ID and any documents you have that show you take part in a public assistance program or show your household income. Our team will tell you exactly what applies to you. Please bring documents in person; do not send them online.
Are you a government office?
No. Rera Enterprises is a private business that offers in-person enrollment help. We are not a government agency.
