We’re grateful to have provided COVID-19 relief through the Emergency Broadband Benefits (EBB) program. Throughout the pandemic, our network powered Americans with free Cell Phone Service to work from home, attend virtual classes, and socialize virtually. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced in late November of 2021 that the EBB program will transition to the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) on December 31, 2021.
What is the Emergency Broadband Benefit program (EBB)?
The Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) was a limited-time program operated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that granted low-income Americans discounts on monthly broadband services and connected internet devices throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of the EBB, Q Link Wireless provided qualifying Americans with UNLIMITED Data, Talk, Text as well as a New Tablet (product subject to availability).
How can Q Link Wireless help me through the pandemic?
Yes, while the EBB will transition to the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) on December 30, 2021, we will be participating in this government benefits program. We will continue to power qualifying Americans with FREE and UNLIMITED Data, Talk, Text as well as a New Tablet (product subject to availability).
How to apply for Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program?
We no longer accept applications for the EBB program, but, you can apply now to the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) to get FREE and UNLIMITED Data, Talk, Text as well as a New Tablet (product subject to availability).
Who qualified for the EBB?
Our EBB subscribers are people who typically qualified by participating in the same government benefits programs as our Lifeline (LL) recipients such as:
And others may have qualified by household income that is at or below 135% of the federal poverty level, or unemployment.
With the ACP, we can qualify more Americans for FREE and UNLIMITED Data, Talk, and Text. See how to qualify for ACP benefits.
What’s going to happen to EBB subscribers who enrolled before December 30, 2021?
We will continue to give FREE and UNLIMITED Data, Talk, and Text after the EBB transitions to the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) on December 30, 2021. There will be a 60-day transition period for Q Link Wireless to roll over our EBB subscribers to the ACP. This transition period will begin on 12/31/2021 and ends on March 1, 2022.
