Customer Information

Lifeline To ensure that telephone service is available and affordable for low income telephone subscribers, the TPUC established the Lifeline Telephone Assistance Program. Lifeline saves telephone subscribers money on the local service portion of the telephone bill. And, by selecting the lowest cost residential service plan offered by the local telephone company, it also ensures an affordable monthly telephone bill. This program will not assist on long distance charges or special features such as Caller ID or Call Waiting. However, Lifeline can be applied to broadband Internet services for those living in a DSL area. Who is Eligible for Lifeline?
