I am so excited to share this good news with you guys, as I just received my StandUp Wireless Free Tablet.
StandUp Wireless is one of the leading wireless service providers that offer a Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Program to the underprivileged sections of society with low income.
With this article, let me share my experience in applying for the StandUp Wireless free tablet program, its eligibility criteria, required documents, and available tablets.
So, without any further ado, let’s get started.
Does StandUp Wireless Actually offer a Free Tablet?
This question can be answered both ways, that is, both yes and no. StandUp Wireless participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program, through which it offers a one-time $100 discount to purchase a new tablet.
However, the customer must make a co-pay of $10.01 towards the tablet’s price. But since the discount is huge, it’s referred to as a free tablet.
In addition to the free tablets, customers can recieve free wireless services such as 10Gb of high-speed data.
Please note that the tablet you will receive from StandUp Wireless doesn’t let you make or recieve a phone call or send text messages. You can only connect it with WiFi and make calls with apps like Skype or Google Meet.
