This was my last phone bill where I'll get a discount from the assistance program ACP. No sense in going into detail about ACP since it's over. The only point is it took $30 off my bill. The government didn't refinance the program, so it ended.
I'm on AT&T. It's at the high end for mobile service. However, it's the only company that keeps good signal & speed nearby. Most of the time, we could probably deal with another company. But, when the power or internet goes out, that service is all we have. That's when the other companies lesser functionality would hurt us.
I found another program, Lifeline. I qualified, then found out AT&T doesn't handle that discount in my state. They gave me the option of looking at the lifeline page for providers in my area that did. I hadn't heard of most of them. I'd have to drop AT&T & go to some 2nd stringer or worse, some local mickey mouse operation. Lifeline's discount is $9.25 a month. I'm not sure less than $10 is worth the risk.
I'll talk to my roomie. Time to get around for the day. Take care.
Cya...
