Low-Cost Subsidized Mobile Plans

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Affordable Connectivity Program is Rolling Out at Cricket

— January 22, 2022 — Tech
The Affordable Connectivity Program that was created by the FCC is being rolled out by Cricket Wireless to offer consumers a low-cost way to access essential connectivity services. Eligible consumers can enroll to receive up to $30 off their mobile plan each month, while those who reside on Tribal Lands could see up to $75 knocked off their bill each month. The plans will work to greatly reduce mobility charges or even offer them at no cost if the lowest option is chosen.

The launch of the FCC Affordable Connectivity Program at Cricket Wireless could help to provide crucial money savings for those with already pinched budgets, which translates into $360 per year for an individual, couple or family.
