I received a phone and the phone contact person said it was a T-Mobile phone, but it isn’t. I would like some instructions on how to use it, for a how to manual did not accompany it. Sandra L. Jones, 9257 S. Bishop St., Chicago, Il. 60620 . Terracom Cell # 1-872-639-1705 My alternate is 1-773-238-1298. Thank you very much.
I would just like to give a heads up on a couple out of several experiences I’ve had with a company I was with for almost 2 years (waaay to long). I wish someone would have posted something like this as a warning as to the turmoil I would be heading for if I chose them. I had Terracom, (which I also discovered is a sister company of yourtel for your information). If they work the same way you are just outta luck. Recently they sent me an “upgraded” phone, and from the first day it was defective. I called them the same day I got it and basically they said “to bad”. They would not fix or replace it without me giving them another 50 dollars for another phone. Keep in mind this was the same day I got it. I briefly limped around with it for a very short time until it wouldn’t charge anymore. I was stuck. I had ads in the paper (with no phone) etc. and their only solution to me was, again, “upgrade” to another phone for 50. more dollars! This is so typical of this company. I’ve had SEVERAL various issues with this company since the beginning and I don’t ever think I’ve seen worse customer service! I’ve also called during the day on several occaisions where I got a message that they weren’t taking calls at this time leaving me high and dry. When I lost my phone and “upgraded” the 1st time, it took them 6 weeks to get my phone to me. It was blank promise after blank promise. Each person I talked to was clueless why I didn’t have a phone and would give me more blank promises. It was also SO frustrating when I did talk to them because they were from India or somewhere and their English was HORRIBLE! I have so many more instances where they proved nothing but incompetence! Needless to say, I have now dropped them like a hot potato! (which I should’ve done so much earlier!) It is the most worthless, joke of a company I’ve EVER seen! I’m just giving you a courtesy heads up, but make your own decision. Just sayin’.
I am really sorry that you are having such horrible service with these people. I am currently with easywireless and I have great service, and they are all American. When I need to talk to customer service, I can actually understand what they are saying and they are really quick to resolve any issues concerning my phone or my account. I would highly recommend going with them. Another good phone service is straight talk. I have had them in the past and they also have great service, and you only pay $45 a month for unlimited talk/text/web, and there is no hassle whatsoever. Good luck with your phone issues and I hope that you decided to go with either easywireless or straight talk….
Please whatever you do, do not go with this company. read what people are posting about them and their service. They have horrible service and you never talk to an American. Please be really careful when choosing a goverment phone and make sure you understand their terms and policies before signing up with them. Good luck!
Thank you, I appreciate the heads-up. I recently attempted to ‘upgrade’ my cell; after getting the requirements from THEIR I.T. dept, I purchased a newer old phone – only to be told (after the week of shipping) that the phone didn’t have enough numbers in the serial number to allow them to switch the service to the newer phone. So I’ve been considering BUYING their upgrade; but I think I’d rather switch providers, than head into KNOWN areas of frustration.
They did the same to me they are terrorists.i am stuck with them because they said they would fix of I recertified its all lies all there products are defective.i am stuck for months now with service that does not work yet they will do nothing to fix issues.DO NOT USE THEM.they are a front for terrorists apparently they systematically are defrauding the poor disabled and veterans I cant even call 911 yet they don’t care
Terracom Wireless customer service is HORRIBLE!! I find it amazing that a phone company could actually have NO WAY to access a LIVE PERSON. The manufacturers of my phone (Samsung) have no record of you, and the wireless network(verizon) also has no record of you. YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK
Terracom Wireless is the best company by far for the ACP program or they will be when they begin their tablet offer because they have not yet begin it. I heard from workers and from a tech guy that the problem was they had a SIM card contract probably couldn’t solve with a provider or seller or something. And they were supposed to have been wrapping it up and they are supposed to be a pilot program in a card that supposed and I’m not aware that process under one thing they are supposed to get in the same tablet out the gate for the TV programs did they actually lose money until you were with him for a few months and they actually write a letter about this tonight anticipated this because I thought I had to be paying probably around $200 for tablet maybe 175 come to buy my book I’m still sometimes don’t get that big of a deal and they’re giving you a $300 tablet for $10 do the map plus they were one of the extremely few companies who still give a free SmartPhone if you use lifetime benefit by itself and I believe SafeLink Wireless giving free smartphones I don’t know if they give them if you use your ACP benefit or if you use both benefits together SafeLink does have a great data plan if you bundle together both benefits but so does an intercom and I think Temple Telecom also give 20 gigs of data I don’t know if you use your Lifeline in ACP together or if you get that from just using your life together or by itself I mean then you can use your Lifeline with someone else or maybe toward a problem in angle Xfinity told a friend of mine me they did not accept the lifetime benefit toward the Wi-Fi data plan but they should a person could pay only $0.70 a month for their Wi-Fi plan and then I can have you know something else you guys should learn to shop on Alibaba because they have some items for one you can pick buy one at a time by some items over there also and you should learn how to shop on AliExpress and been good and I’m telling you is BB 100 can be found for under $200 there right now although the phone can sell for well over $400 in America and the Oscar h o s c a l S60 sells America for up to like 2:30 often 200 and you can find it on AliExpress or Alibaba for 92 to 97 dollars well who knows Tony Terry, is awesome you guys should stick with him and pay attention I have seen them over the past year or so and many instances and I have signed up many many people with them several dozen and no one has been unhappy not one person let me see let me think for a second and then try to be careful before I say something not true. No not one person was unhappy over there was one little flicker of something with my friend who is deaf got a certain kind of phone she got a Maxwest Nitro phone and get to it for free and I was upset with her for not thinking because we could have sold that phone or trade it in online for someone else man and she just kind of have to spoil a little although her family did neglect her you know there’s a phenomenal like that where some people still like that even though they were neglected or abused. She didn’t like it because it didn’t operate a certain way which helped her with her definition he wasn’t trying to help me and I was doing a lot in her family had never even got her a caption phone and she was in her forties and they showed me that 20 years ago they didn’t give a f*** about her and then when I did they were acting fishy and I figured it was it was because they were jealous I had to use her personal information and ideas stuff and she quickly learned she could trust me and I was out for a self validation not for you and her family wasn’t upset about that never said that I was f****** doing something for making them look bad they talk s*** met me once and talk s*** man trying to talk to my s*** out of blank are. My friend Lizzie whose last name is Taylor what do you call a senior living building used to be called something else and her family man couldn’t give her 10 f****** dollars they were over her check but they couldn’t give her $10 and over 2 months I guess her and I had to come through and get her one penny and finally when I got tired asking about it and I was broke I mean I had zero income Indiana it was a hard to come 10 bucks but I did it and I paid and she started bitching at me that day cuz she just got the money and her aunt happened to come through for her because her family didn’t I tell you Lizzie Taylor I don’t know her f****** people that’s what I did and I didn’t get it but I know it made him look bad because they never got it 20 years ago yeah f*** those people man f*** people like that anybody on here listening but hey Terry Tom Wireless is the best by far man I’m serious you guys should use your ACP benefit to send it with Terracon but you have communicate with him to see it might be a while before they get there per month like many things about the program is complicated do not use your $100 copay to get a tablet unless you are sure you’re getting one as good as terracom or better which will be very very damn hard the only company that might have some is good as Terror time would be cintxylus or airtalk Wireless have all refurbished phones and and tablets but they have some really good ones they have a couple of three other really nice 8 in tablets and they’ve got some phones man what I would do is I’d use my ACP with terracom and then maybe later on you know after 6 months or so transfer to c i n t e x or air Talk Wireless because they have Motorola did one plus Nords three of those that are good one or two that are 5G they have them what is it two of the Samsung a series phone which are real decent specs like at least 4 GB of RAM with at least $4,000 or 5000 battery and they have a LG v50 thinq you know you got some other s*** if you get the right ones if they are not out man you know got time right okie dokie
My concern about this company(Terracom) is that when I lost my phone recently(thursday),they wasn’t no help. I explain to Terracom about me losing my phone they said I needed a sprint compatiable phone to keep same number. If I didn’t I will $25 for a new one and wait 7-10 days for the phone. Another concern is that when calling customer service it takes to long to speak with somebody. Plus I wanted to upgrade my phone to a touchscreen I was told I would have to $145 for it. To the unlimited service will be $33.00. If Terracom is suppose to b a free government service how come they’re charging for upgraded service?
Dear Michael,
Thank you for your post. Yourtel Wireless offers a basic cell phone and monthly cell phone service all free of charge. Additional services and cell phone upgrades require customers to pay.
Yourtel n terracom are both BS company.they both lie, i was promise UNLimited internet n was lied to and when i confronted them all I got was sorry for the confusion? N I left cricket goverment plan cause they lied to me and I had unlimited Everything with them(cricket),plus I had 4g.Terracom n yourtel have phnes that cant even support! N they customer service is shitty! The grass wasnt greener on the other side. If u have the stuff already dnt upgrade to either of these company they screw u all the way from the phne to the phne bill…by pass these company.
My girlfriend has a free goverment phone form yourtel, and she was supposed to have unlimited talk and text, but they recently sent her a text message telling her that she has a high usage of minutes and text messages. And she recently found out that she didn’t have unlimited service that she only has 500 minutes/texts. I am so glad that I don’t have service with these people. I am currently with easywireless and I have great service, plus I only pay $6.45 for unlimited talk/text per month. And when I need to call customer service, I actuallly talk to an Amercican, not some person from India or what ever country they are from. I really believe that these people should not be working for us in america. I’m sure that they can find a job in their own country. I would highly recommend that when getting any goverment phone, you should get one with an American company..
I had a terracom phone, and when i moved they told me i was out of their jurisdiction, which is a farce so i got lifeline, now life line dropped me because terracom is still charging the government for service which i dont have. Isn’ there a law against this?
Dear Betty,
I am sorry to learn about the problems you have experienced with Lifeline. I would contact Terracom to cancel your service with them before applying for a new plan. As you know, you can only have one Lifeline Assistance plan per person.
Hey there, it could be a T-Mobile phone because they use T-Mobile. So they are essentially T-Mobile if they are an mvno which is a mobile virtual Network operator. Only for big companies carry data or are the main characters that is. T-Mobile and Sprint which are a joint a couple now but they are not quite exactly the same in some instances although T-Mobile phones at surance Wireless who is a Lifeline company I believe it’s surance wireless menus Sprint Metro fast PC or whatever the hell they call it it’s in your APN setting. But terracom Wireless yesterday use T-Mobile for their phones as far as I know like most lifeline providers. That’s a good thing because many of the rugged smartphones what you can buy on AliExpress for far cheaper than you can buy them on eBay or with T-Mobile but some of them do not run on the 18 do you like your black phone or the black do phones especially the account as 6000 s c a l s 60 and the bb-800 or the B100 Pro they may not run on the AT&T network in AT&T is doing some stuff to other phones also and getting really picky. Trying to milk people for money. But T-Mobile yeah it is a provider for many of the life-line Specialty Company. And terracom wireless should soon have their tablet out again that they gave for the Emergency Broadband benefit program last year. If you qualify for ACP if you qualify for Lifeline you automatically qualify for ACP so you can sign up for terracom and get a tablet for $10 in one penny. And stay with them for a while because this tablet gets unlimited data but unlike many companies terracom Wireless when they give you unlimited data for the affordable connectivity program they will give you 20 GB speed in at least. They’re doing it now for Lifetime benefit with 500 minutes to talk and unlimited texting. And they are also giving a free SmartPhone for the lifeline benefit even if you use the lifetime benefit alone. They are giving a Maxwest Nitro 5p which sells for about $120 online. I wish they would invest in d o s c a l blackview phones the S60 Pros which have 4 GB of RAM 32GB of RAM and over a 5000 mAh battery like 5580 mha mAh battery. And they have 4 GB of RAM 32GB ROM I believe. I believe they have an octa-core processor in a operating system called. OK Google to the windows whatever the font Android lover 12 and these phones have resistance to water and being dropped and they have night vision and can see a f****** spy camera in the door I mean you’re just in a lot of features that stuff that’s kind of need a toy with no harm and it actually has a lot of appeal and if you want a better phone oh by the
oOSCAL S60 PRO can be found on the American size for around $200 or sometimes even significantly higher.
There is a WP phone & a K that sells for $89 in there is a K series phone that sells for about the same.
BV8800 can be found on AliExpress 4197 right now and I believe the other day with coupons and promo code 195 or no 8185. And not on Express by Ali Baba. Ali Baba and globalsource are two whole self size but there are many items sold on there which you can purchase one at a time. And I’ve seen the ads and such. It is a spectacular mightier version of the OS calls 60 Pro. And both those phones have 4G LTE connectivity. And you should seek a company who receives their data from AT&T not AT&T but T-Mobile and or AT&T and a verizon. I’m not certain if they work with Verizon but I believe they do. I believe the only problem they’ve had is AT&T the same problem any other companies have had. These blackview people at the Hong Kong Branch were awesome and they stay with me all steps of the way and they marked down the package so that it wouldn’t get held up when it reached the United States of evil and they also were very informative and I had mentioned that I bought 800 using my last literal dollar for my daughter so they knew this in the market package down and I was able to get it to her and very quickly quicker than I had anticipated I.
B8800 BL the BL line is the 5G version. And speaking of terracom wireless terracom wireless is supposed to give out the same tablet for the ACP program which they gave out for the Emergency Broadband benefit program last year. And they’re supposed to charge the same for it $10 and one penny the same mentoring minimum many companies will charge you and some guys weren’t quick enough so may you never having to pay no just kidding them you will have to calculate because they get 20 Gigabytes of data on it and if you have a life account with terracom wireless for the lifeline phones if you are using your Lifeline benefit by itself they are giving out unlimited data no no they were giving out unlimited texting with 500 minutes of talk per month for free and 20 gigs for some reason. Probably because they haven’t offered their tablet since the late December they were supposed to resume in March but they had a SIM card contract problem and it was supposed to be served or solved but I suppose it takes time to program the SIM cards. But keep up on it because this tablet by far surpasses any. And he probably the best next deal I seen her one of the best next deals is the offer from what’s their names and no they were immature and she’s going to do that different f****** people’s electricity I tell you anyway terracom Wireless is great. Last year that tablet at about you move around $300 especially if it’s unlocked and many of them are still sell refurbished for over $150 of $200. But the thing is you can buy tablets with Grace best nowadays from China but you have to know some of the companies that exaggerated on their numbers they are lying and I from what I’ve researched some of the main rugged device manufacturers are not or their performances off very little that they are. Like there are tablets
TECLAST
ALLDOCUBE
BLACKVIEW
CHUWI
RT-1 BY OUKITEL is a 10 inch tablet which is rugged and has the ability to take many beat downs in water sprays and keep going to read it and you will SIM card and I believe it’s processor is an octa-core. And it has all the rights back seats battery is 10000 Mah that is too large batteries for a tablet. I am interested in everybody keeping your value because you can have to use a tablet sometimes is it if you keep it protected well you can find shockproof cases which fit your tablet very well if you do your research. If you have a budget device whether it’s a phone or tablet you may not find a specific fitting shockproof case for that device so you may have to do some comparisons find out how many inches by the hundreds your tablet is in length and width and depth thickness. And you can also you should also Mark it down the number in millimeters. And you could also find a case like a friend of mine had a sky Elite T8 OCTA tablet. I believe Dimensions were 208 mm by 125×9.9. So he sought out a case which was made for a better known tablet with Dimensions at least as wide and as thick and as long as his sky tablet. I believe we learn that the one of the LG G pads 8 inches or 8.3 in. If there is some slack you can take slack up by being you know sharp better of engineering you know you put some materials here you don’t mind a bunch up and you don’t let that f****** thing overheat but you know as far as need … and I’ll tell you now man you want if you have a heart everybody to get this but I have some cousins of mine and uncles to uncles and a cousin that are so damn selfish they don’t ever tell anyone about anything that they run into any benefits I signed up one of my uncles and a cousin mine are legendary selfish you wouldn’t believe their names are Denise Jesse and Bob and very Blair football best they are so f****** selfish man and they would f****** doubt it here and they would hate but they know some of the s*** they’ve done. Denise has they both used an old lady named Marlene through my grandmother and my aunt who played Avenues to allow them to use her because Marlene was slow and she received a disability check my entire family on that side damn you’re not the entire family but two uncles and my cousin Denise just salaciously I don’t know what the word is disgustingly and when the lady was done from her Alzheimer she went into a place in Wabash Hospital she dropped us off in the middle of the night when we went down she took us to Virginia for about 2 months lived there forever spell for 2 months and we never met the guy she began dating and it was her older sister Thelma Jessie’s ex-boyfriend Daryl calhoun. Feel free to ask him these people that they know the story they remember down in keoki virginia. She moved us a meal a day he was a good provider he wasn’t warm and loving like a man should beat any kids but you know he knows what she was you know she got around she was with six men in that area when she got pregnant with me until the time she had me she was a six man. Call Crow Bill Napier or Holcomb Tom Cox Robert Cox and Dennis jesse. And she didn’t even go to the f****** door man she couldn’t wait to stay in that car rainy hunting f****** and Randy’s some Man Randy Wabash is a c*** man because any man who go out the woman like that when she abandon her children after f****** Trek two states away is a piece of s*** congratulations Randy Hunter you’re a piece of s***. Tessie hunt Wabash and Chris Hunt you can ask some of them about this story I’m sure they’ll know it but they may not be trade her brother but ask Valentina Hubbard I don’t recall what her name is Valentina f****** cross the USA man mama how she couldn’t buy a job and my sister holds it against her and it was rough it was so rough she was able to travel to Canada and f****** Oklahoma and Florida and what’s that are in Texas and wherever the f****** she went man she was hoeing around man and that’s what happens when you got family like that but at least you don’t text from other people she’s f****** feeling guilty so she’s got 245 year olds my sister and brother she raises neither one of them have lived on their own more than a couple or three years I used to discuss that with my brother and I looked at him and I realized he has lived off the women that he used like his ex-wife Sandra Miracle his family gave her a house and he had her going to hawk more than once for getting him toys and s*** drugs in your family please do you should see how disgustingly awful my cousin Denise is she looks like an ashtray this burping up alien acid man when she asks you know you can be nice to her and she’s just a c*** I went and she told me that I could sign her up for getting her a phone and getting her ten dollar Wi-Fi pocket and so you can use your Lifeline benefit instead of paying it toward your Wi-Fi you can use it to pay to get another you know a tablet discount tablet you know it took her about a month and she change your tune on what I said she’s getting someone to give s*** much about her and that’s a nasty woman
I’ll say one thing my uncle Berry and my cousin Denise Berry Blair and Denise Jesse There are both piles of s*** I took my last $10 we both of them when I had 11 or I had $13 total and I spent it to get them a f****** tablet and it was worth $300 tablet and had a great plan neither thank me not one f****** bit of things not one f****** dollar back listen never f****** offered it and that’s been about a year now very cool Dennis was bringing it up it’s talking about Robert my brother told my Uncle Dennis and I know I heard him say it after Michael Jackson I heard him admit it and that bury him less than him and very f****** less than Jared I remember him making him something off his dick and his f****** toes so there and you think f****** Jared Spence wasn’t molesting anybody? You guys think something f***** him up he wasn’t a bad guy he was a good kid when you act like that you ain’t bad you ain’t no threat to nobody he’s strange you know a strange is you dumb f**** on educated piece of s*** is when you decide to let the struggles in life warp you instead of passing it on and harming another person you choose to be uncomfortable and and quirky and awkward okay and he’s mad Society
Laws in America are abhorrent America is committed so many atrocities like the collateral murder video it’s done thousands of those they shot children and then wouldn’t even let them go to an American hospital. America has lied about Germany Shirley and World War II certainly man America is the big propagated. America has french fried hundreds of thousands of Japanese children and babies and little cute faces in elderly people just wanted to be good and had nothing to do with what their government decided but the US was the evil one in the world war every country that’s developed that the US bashes is a country that once it’s autonomy away from the US it doesn’t want to kiss ass and that’s when the US Dogs Out china? Respect f****** or don’t respect your abortion and respect life know you m************ don’t cuz you let them buy with s*** you don’t let men buy with your Sexes pieces of s*** too. And the f****** whole country is disgusting. You would Place thousands of men in jail for child support and many of them have a crude their arrears while they’re incarcerated and they were unable to earn like type the phrase Charles Gillian child support South Bend 24 years he got three eight years she felonies with some of it back up but you know when you get back up in Indiana you do it because you take drugs out of the sheer Terror and fear and you can’t help it and it’s not bad to take drugs it causes bad things bad for you and she work on it but counseling helps you to see how helpless you are to doing and being things and then it helps you and ironic way to do it but the people should be arrested for f****** small position Indiana is a disgusting and atrocious f****** slime pit. And it will go down with all its leaders and all the people and all you good old boys with your fat f****** slime unit in America you are scum. You are your scum and there’s a whole bigger world out there in China is superior to America and so is the Russia and when they put a boot in your f****** ass man I’m going to cheer and I’m going to piss on my local f****** good old boy and I’m going to spit in this f****** Mom’s eye and she should be old enough to understand that yeah that would really sting wouldn’t it man come in and f****** just manhandle the f****** leaders because they’re b****** they can’t do s*** these mother f****** couldn’t fight for their family restaurant don’t think these guys are tough soldiers or cage fighters they’re f****** most of them are f****** sad sexy s*** man America sucks f****** devil dick man they suck devil dick and they give up the ass to the f****** roach dick you guys are f****** scum f*** y’all good night.
*THE ABSOLUTE WORST CELL CARRIER ON THE PLANET. DO NOT USE. YOU CAN’T SAY THAT YOU WEREN’T WARNED!!
My Terracom wireless iPhone was stolen. I have been on their website all day trying to purchase a replacement phone. I tried 3 using different credit cards from 3 different banks and it keep saying that there is a FRAUD ERROR? They tried to purchase the phone for me but was unable to due to the same errors. They kept trying to tell me to call the bank?!?! Come on. 3 different cards from 3 different banks no good? Obviously the problem is in their system.
Different Indian man that barely spoke English gave me 4 addresses of stores that sold Terracom phones in the Tulsa area. After driving all over hell I found that 2 of the addresses were gas stations and had no knowledge of Terracom Wireless. The other two business didn’t even exist. So I went to the Terracom website to locate a store myself. It listed a Walmart and some address with no store name. So I called Walmart. They told me that they do not sell Terracom Wireless phones. So I called the other number that was listed and someone actually answered.the phone. Of course they didn’t know what I was talking about. They don’t sell phones at all.
The last time I called and talked to a Supervisor. He suggested that I call the bank again, which is ludicrous. He then told me to go into a Walmart, give them $115.36 and in about a week I will receive my replacement phone. Does that sound right to you? That sounds like I would be kissing away $115 to me.
This is very frustrating. After several hours and talking with at least 4 different people with broken English including the alleged Supervisor, Their website is wrong and screwed up just like the rest of the company. I have now given up. They have forced me to switch carriers due to their ineptness.
WARNING* DO NOT BUY OR USE TERRACOM WIRELESS FOR ANY OF YOUR wireless needs. They are the worst company I have dealt with in a long time.
And to think that the US Gov’t is actually subsidizing these people is a damn shame.
Massive data loss when using my phone’s WiFi hotspot. A while ago, I was on a radio station’s website watching
the music post as a new song was played. That’s all I was doing Not watching videos, not streaming their audio, just
on the site listening to the music though my radio. I did a data balance check, over 360MB used in the span of
20 minutes!!!
I experienced a massive data loss of nearly 2 gigabytes recently. Fortunately I bitched at them so fiercely they replace it, but since more massive losses and the two customer service people who work there, have no damned
sense to answer questions. All they do is pile on and act all incompetent
TERRACOM IS A PIECE OF S*** COMPANY!! THEY SUCK!! THEIR PEOPLE ARE USELESS, INCOMPETENT, AND THEIR TECHNOLOGY BELONGS IN A DAMNED DUMPSTER ALONG WITH THEIR COMPANY!!

I also have a terracom phone and I’m having problems with it. I can’t receive or send messages on my phone. It also overheats. I’m just looking for another company with 500 min. This is my 2 and phone with them & I’m having lots of problems.
I have a question if I purchase the same phone terracom advertise which is sprint CDMA iPhone 4 then as long as it’s sprint compatible will it work??? I want to get one through eBay but was wondering if it will be compatible. They told me they go by sprint CDMA so I’m just questioning before purchasing the phone???
Is Terracing through AT&T? I just need an AT&T phone for a SIM card I have w/a # I want to keep. IS THERE ANY LIFELINE SERVICE THAT IS AT&T COMPATIBLE?
I have applied for a free phone twice now. Once with Legacy Wireless out of Coffeyville and once with Terracom over the phone. Have never received a phone for the last 2 months. Have called and gotten a disconnected number and then phoned the ceo. He gave me his direct line which I have never been able to receive. I had a terrible time trying to understand these people on the phone. This sounded like they had outsourced it to India. Straight Talk is almost as bad but at least the people at WalMart try to help. I do have a Walmart Straight Talk but have a hard time coming up with 50 dollars every month. I live in low income housing, I make less than 14,000 dollars a year and I’m on Medicare and Social Security. This company is not elderly friendly and need to be shut down. If this is the way the government works no wonder this election is a farce.,
How do you get a simple number for a Queensland company using your name even the mumber on web site dont work get them to call me kev have started with them been on internet way to long pls 0434681050 kev thank you if you have the technology to do this,
TerraCom out of coffeyville came to my sins apt.took his information and mine.
Left me a shine that will nit activate on third day of waiting now. And told my sin system was down would bring him back a phone.when his info went through. Today he is told sorry guess you were denied.
There is no reason for him to be denied.
The ladies were nice and polite but the company seems to have been a fraud.
With no one to fix this problem .. We are filing a police report . I am afraid we were just scammed for personal information.
Good thing I captured pictures of the two ladies with my working phone.
I just received my phone from Terracom, and I actually like it. Its a flip phone. and the number pad is big enough that when I text, I don’t hit the other keys. Now…I would also like to add that I applied 6 times before I was accepted. When I called, which was several times, I could barely understand what they were saying. When I asked what location they were in, the response was India. When I asked them to repeat what they were saying, because I couldn’t understand, he said “just say yes”, I thought, huh? So, I said yes. Had no idea what he was saying, he was reading from a script and had to repeat everything he said, because I didn’t reply the way he wanted.. It was laughable, and I thought, this is a Government phone?? American Government phone??
Wonder if Trump will end the free phones, or will he bring the Government contract back to America? Hell, maybe I could get a job with Terracom, lol. I got 500 minutes, with unlimited text. So far, I like the service, phone is easy to use, and doesn’t look like they paid a $1.00 for it. Im not complaining, really…just responding to the commenters on this site that couldn’t understand the broken English.
i was at walmart today and a tent was set-up saying free TerraCom phones so i walked over at told them i lost my phone and safenet told me i had to purchase a trac-phon to get service again and the guy said no you don’t we can set you up in 15 minutes and they did. i was given a (boost mobile) phone model LG LS855 i think it’s like a smart phone i didn’t recieve a manual or sim card was told this phone doesn’t require one. when we were finished i was told wait 15 minutes and you will be good to go and i was. since i have never had a phone like this i didn’t even know how to turn it on much less add my contacts or how to set up your phone functions but i think i can figure this out, my friends all said the same thing when they got smart phones.. and yes i talked to a 3rd world person and yes understanding was very difficult, i get 900 minutes or texts which is way more than i’ll ever need per month
My father recertified and later they disconnected his phone. Went over to office they said was because of some error on their part and she would reconnect but with different number. We decided to forgo going with Terra com. We tried to apply at another place but Terra Com still had him locked up on their service which he didn’t even have a working number for over 3 months. We called the gov office…they instructed us to file claim which we did then they wanted us to call Terra Com. My father couldn’t hear or understandand asked that I help him and told her to talk to me…she kept telling me to get off phone…My father said I can’t understand you. He asked where she was from…she said India. She then asked what his father’s name was…he told her his father had nothing to do with this. Then she asked what his favorite subject was in school. He told her to stop the foolishness and cancel the acct. She said we have to set it up before we can cancel. She was trying to con him. She asked why he didn’t want them anymore. He said I can’t understand you people. I was having to sit there and try to figure out what they were saying to relay to him. He finally told her I just want you away from me…I don’t want to do business with you. They are terrible…told me I had unlimited mind and was always cutting my service off. My mother had been battling cancer and I needed my phone. They would want me to buy additional minutes. They got to where they wouldn’t give receipts for payments and charge for accepting payments in their office even though you are paying them for their service. That should be against the law!!! I paid payment and was never given credit. They did same to my father. Don’t go with this company….run!!!!
They systematically defraud the american public they are a terrorist organization they need to be annialated.cease doing business i america do not use them i wish i would have known as I am stuck with them and I have no device that works I did the replacement and its defective also all money is all they want
I have tried calling their Customer Service since 8AM eastern time and I keep getting hung up on and all I am trying to do is get my government phone back on and I am not sure what to do. Can anyone assist me please
I have been reading down through all the posts of nothing nice to say about Terracom and their customer service associates. I am so upset and frustrated with customer service right now but what can I do or who else do I call to voice a complaint to? I ask to speak to a supervisor and customer service rep told me “NO” that there wasn’t anything different a supervisor could do to help me said they all use the same hand what ever that was suspose to mean I have no clue. I called in this am to add mins to my phone to make important medical calls to my Moms Doctors. The money was approved off my debit card and Terracom took it but did not give me the mins I paid for. I was told in very poor broken English to order mins and pay by debit with customer service not the automated service in the future . Basically live with mistakes or else. Kinda like the rest of the utilities either except their judgement calls or else. You have 2 choices Except it or Bendover. Believe me please that crying real tears doesn’t help with this company because they say they are a live person but feels like you are being scolded like a dog by a Robot with no heart no soul and ice water in their veins inside of blood. Enough said and enough of my time wasted all 4-what? Still mad as hell loosing 2000 mins I paid for with proof and no Doctors called for my Mom who is gravely ill and total care for me to take care of her at home. Thanks for nothing you all done for me today except give me a stress headake. Barb..Topeka Ks.
my phone was stolen what do i need to do to get another phone i am a senior on a very fixed income i have already had the service suspended i also have many health challenges please help me .
Is Terracom through AT&T? I just need an AT&T phone for a SIM card I have w/a # I want to keep. IS THERE ANY LIFELINE SERVICE THAT IS AT&T COMPATIBLE IN TULSA, OKLA?
IVE PROOF TERRACOM HAD THE BEST TABLET AND DATA OFFER FOR THE EMERGENCY BROADBAND BENEFIT PROGRAM. They gave a $300 tablet for the ebb program for only $10 and they will likely begin doing it again soon. And they gave a great amount of data. They are one of the extremely few providers who give more than 10 gigabytes of high-speed mobile data for the ACP program.
They give one of the better phones for the standalone lifeline program even if you use only your lifeline benefit. A dual SIM card capable smartphone which is unlocked and accept SIM cards from other providers. They have now the only All American operator team in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Heather Thomas, Ms Trammell Johnson, Stephanie Keahy, Al Bortz…
Terracom Wireless was one of the few providers who offered a discounted device option for the emergency broadband benefit program. The discounted device option means the provider sign up with for a mobile or Wi-Fi data plan sells to you a tablet or a laptop or a desktop. The provider is mandated to charge you a copay over $10 but under $50.
Relatively few providers offer tablets, but almost all of them I have seen are new, except Newphone & Cintex who have stated in some ads the Alcatel joy to have one tablet they offer is refurbished, & in some ads they state these tablets are brand new. It is possible that they once had refurbished tablets and now have new ones, or they could have a mixture of both. I know someone who received a phone for fully free from one of these two sister companies and they said they really liked it a lot. It was an LG ThinQ, I believe. Cintex & Newphone are one of the companies with the best standalone lifeline plan of 1000 minutes plus unlimited texting plus 4.5 GB of data. They give better phones for lifeline than most, although some may be refurbished they are said to be in excellent condition. They simply want you to use them for at least 4 months to pay off the better devices they provide, which are better than most, even if some may be refurbished. Like many providers, they have offers for standalone lifeline. And like many, their standalone ACP offer includes unlimited data, which has a limited number of gigabytes of high-speed data, and internet access slow significantly after these high-speed gigabytes of data are used. Cintex & Newphone also have a plan offered if you commit both your lifeline and ACP benefits together. I don’t know but they may offer extra.
ASSURANCE WIRELESS AND SAFELINK WIRELESS TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAVE THE BEST OVERALL BUNDLED PLANS IF YOU BUNDLE TOGETHER BOTH YOUR LIFELINE AND YOUR ACP BENEFITS:
Assurance gives 35 GB of high speed data with 10 GB of hotspot data plus unlimited talking and texting.
SafeLink gives 25 GB of high-speed data with 5 GB of hotspot plus unlimited talking and texting.
I believe both providers offer unlimited data, which will not stop after high-speed data is used, but may slow down.
I’ll tell you this about the emergency broadband benefit program ERA last year… I personally saw two SafeLink accounts and one Walmart family Mobile account use up all their supposed limit of gigabytes of high speed data… At that time I believe SafeLink high speed gigabytes for ebb was 20 and I know the Walmart family Mobile $50 plan which was their ebb offer… WFM gave 40 GB of high-speed data with an incredible 30 GB of hotspot data plus unlimited talking and texting. And I know the 30 GB of hotspot data was on top of or added to the 40 gigabytes of high speed data. Some providers who mention different numbers for high-speed data and hotspot data have plans where the hotspot data is actually part of the overall high-speed data. But I know Walmart family Mobile and boost Mobile and $50 plans where the hotspot data was added on to the high speed data. And I can bash boost Mobile all day long especially for overcharging a family member of mine $20 per month for 30 months and refusing to return $400 of the $600 when offered to do so in the form of products or payments.. I could be bashing the hell out of boost but I still am honest with people and tell them boost mobile offers one of the best tablets for the ebb or ACP program, even if they may charge a total of over $40 including tax and activation fees which other providers do not charge for tablets, and they may be the only provider requiring a person to enter a store to purchase a tablet for the ACP program, which other providers do not do.
MY POINT IS IF YOU WANT THE BEST OFFER FOR LIFELINE AND OR FOR THE AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM OR IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT WHO IS IN A STATE COVERED BY TERRACOM WIRELESS.. COVER UP YOUR PRIDE AND YOUR ANGER BECAUSE THAT SHOULD BE DIRECTED AT THE PEOPLE WHO WRONGED YOU. THE COMPANY WHICH HAS THE SAME NAME IS NOW DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
Although the best provider for lifeline or for the ACP program may be different for people who have different variables, you cannot go wrong if you sign up for both the lifeline program and also the ACP program with Terracom Wireless.
BIKE INSURANCE WIRELESS TERRACOM WIRELESS TEMPORARILY STOPPED THE SALES OF THEIR TABLETS DURING THE TWO MONTH PERIOD TRANSITIONING BETWEEN THE EBB AND THE ACP PROGRAMS. More than one operator from both companies told me they will again be selling tablets, but aren’t certain when, likely because they have to figure out how to avoid losing money to customers who grab a device and run. Terracom gave maybe the best tablet in the nation for the EBB program. Although the Coolpad tablet given out by Assurance was connectable only through Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth or cable, but not a 4G LTE connectable tablet, they gave possibly the third or fourth best tablet of the 10 or 12 available in my state. I’ve seen only a handful of 10-in tablets for the ebb/acp programs: Assurance. Localtel Communications’ Lenovo. Big Bend Telephone of Texas 10.Amazon Fire. Team Midwest MEC 10 Amazon Fire.
SOME COMPANY NAMED NEXTLINK OFFERS A 10 INCH 2 IN 1 WITH 4 GB RAM & 64 GB ROM!!! Copay fee is $49.99, the max allowed, worth it!
KINETIC BY WINDSTREAM SOLD A SAMSUNG A7 OR A7 LITE for the ebb program, for a copay of only $20 or $25. I believe these tablets are 10 inch or 8.7 inch.
Kinetic by Windstream is one of the many Wi-Fi providers who offer a low income based discounted Wi-Fi plan between $10 and $20 per month, even without using your lifeline or ACP benefit.
IT IS BEST FOR MOST PEOPLE TO SIGN UP FOR THREE BENEFITS:
1: Sign up for the best tablet or laptop offered in your area. Terracom doesn’t cover your area the next best tablet offer Maybe Boost, or Standup wireless, or Cintex, or…
CATHECT COMMUNICATION OFFERS 20 GB OF HIGH SPEED DATA FOR THE $30 PER MONTH BENEFIT PAID BY THE ACP PROGRAM. They & Terracom are the only two I know who offer this for standalone ACP. Cathect sells for the ACP program a TAB 8 tablet, manufactured by the company NUU, who has a very good reputation for making budget tablets which perform as well as devices which cost significantly more. I’ve not seen one but from what I read I expect they are much like the Elite T8 Octa tablet made by sky devices, and sold by the provider Stand-up wireless for ACP. The sky 8-in tablet is an excellent product which performs exactly like the $300 Samsung tablet given by terracon wireless. Some budget tablets are difficult to find exact fitting shockproof cases or screen covers. So you may research other better known flagship devices. If you want to use a protective case of a different tablet you may be able to use one which is just a millimeter or few longer or wider or thicker. Even if the other tablet is a mm or 2 thinner, the case may fit but it must be a millimeter or few longer or wider, not less. If button placement of buttons and or speakers don’t match you may doctor it with an exacto knife or a Dremel disc grinder which you could borrow or rent. And you could do some arts and crafts using some glue and or double-sided tape and or even some layers of cloth to pad. You can use strips of denim or flannel along the edge, and an extra strip on each corner. You should put enough work into your protective phone and tablet cases. So they don’t need to be pretty to keep your device pretty you don’t need to worry about devices overheating if you learn the few dozen tech tips to reduce background data and battery usage. Uninstall or disable many apps. Open the system apps which are hidden. You can access most sites through the web browser. You can message on Facebook through the web browser if you click on desktop version. And uninstall Facebook app and Facebook Messenger app which are two battery drainers and data drainers…
Sign up for low income based Wi-Fi with one of the providers who offers a plan between $10 & $20 per month. Cox Communications & Mediacom have plans called connect to compete. AT&T has Access.
Optimum or Suddenlink have Altice or Advantage
Terracom Wireless They charge only $10 & 1 penny for an unused 2020 8.4 inch Tab A Samsung SM-T307 tablet. Worth $300, look it up. They also gave unlimited data which was highly likely truly unlimited, or at least 50 GB at high speed. I say this because they charged $40 for their unlimited data plan when the emergency brought in benefit program paid up to a $50 per month benefit for your Wi-Fi or mobile data plan. And when Terracom learned the ACP program would be paying a $30 per month benefit they chose to continue to reduce their forget to plan fee to $30 so it would be fully paid for by the ACP $30 per month benefit. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they did drop the high-speed gigabytes a bit.
I DO REALIZE MANY OF YOU VERY LIKELY HAD REASON TO HATE THEM THROUGH BUT THEY ARE A LITERALLY DIFFERENT COMPANY NOW.
I myself have been very pissed off at qlink wireless although I realize later it was my fault when I transferred from SafeLink because I didn’t research my phone well enough. And I was allowed to immediately return to Safelink. HEAR ME OUT BECAUSE IF YOU WANT A DIFFERENT COMPANY YEARS LATER THIS IS A DIFFERENT COMPANY.
And well any provider paid or free has tons of complaints against them you almost never hear the many good stories.
TERRACOM WIRELESS HEAD THE BEST OFFER FOR THE EMERGENCY BROADBAND BENEFIT PROGRAM. A $300 flagship Samsung tablet for only $10, with a free data plan which was unlimited and probably had at least 35 to 50 GB of high speed data.
Terracom wireless also has one of the best stand-alone lifeline offers.
Many there are maybe three dozen or so companies who specialize in the lifeline program. And most of these probably offer a standard of $350 to 1,000 minutes of free talk per month with unlimited texting and 4.5 GB of internet data. And many offer a free smartphone. Several including Assurance wireless, Stand up Wireless, Q Link & Truconnect give 1,000 minutes of talk… While terracom wireless has a standalone lifeline offer of 500 minutes of monthly talk with unlimited texting and 4.5 GB of internet data… This 500 minutes is enough for most people at 17 minutes of talk per day. And here come wireless has probably the only All American operator of any lifeline or non lifeline carrier I’ve encountered. Very quick service including delivery of lifeline phones and tablets for EBB. I’ve seen the manager Heather Thomas personally reply within a day or less three times in one week to family and friends of mine.
Over 90% of the many people I’ve signed up for the emergency broadband benefit program with terracom received their $300 tablet at a cost of $10 within three business days. A couple received it in maybe five business days on a holiday. And one person received theirs in 628 days in early December when things got really hectic.
The phones which I’ve seen friends and family received from terracom most of the time are BLU J5L or MAXWEST Nitro 5P smartphones. These come with a protective case and screen cover. Theyre dual sim card capable. 3 of these phones accepted SIM cards from a different provider in their 2nd SIM card slot. Apparently they’re unlocked. They cost around $80 on Amazon, some of the better Lifeline phones I’ve seen.
But several providers do now seem to be offering significantly better phones for Lifeline, & Maybe even better if you combine both your lifeline and ACP benefits together. Because there has been a lot more money flowing from the EBB and ACP programs.
Assurance Wireless has been getting many people Schok Volt SV55 or Wilo Life 3 phones. Assurance has given Moto G pure phones, even for people who have only standalone lifeline service with Assurance SafeLink Wireless apparently also gives the Moto G Pure, and probably better phones for the other phones they offer.
But all providers give out various devices depending upon what is available. Although we all would rather have the Moto G Pure the other two phones I’ve seen given out by Assurance have a five and a half inch screen.
I liked even the old Unimax UMX693CL smartphone which Assurance Wireless gave, which was the only phone I didn’t feel pressured to buy a protective case for and I even purposely abuse a lot which is sacrilegious to me and even when it kicked the bucket I was still able to add button apps so I could still control it although it was slow going. I often used old devices for chromecasting or hotspots to preserve the newer devices.
The UMX got a bad rep for spyware although the spyware was not at all dangerous but simply probably tracking the habits of Americans for commercial reasons. Americans get really racist and patriotic about this but the Chinese aren’t going to get a damn military secret at all out of some poor ass people like me who must file for assistance. And I believe the Chinese people are overall better than we are. I’m damn proud of being a red-blooded white boy but I am strong enough to admit when my kind has fallen short and needs to be called out. And I want to give a shout out to the Chinese because they are offering incredible products at unbelievable prices compared to americans. I just saved up and purchased my daughter a BV 8800 blackview phone. I got it on sale with the coupon and the promo code just under $200. Or about $210 with tax. And this phone is easily selling for $350 to $400 on Amazon and ebay. Trust me we have a lot of benefits coming from the Chinese… If you ever learn how to shop on AliExpress or Banggood you’ll never piss with eBay or Amazon again…
Anyway the UMX phone which assurance wireless used to get out as a standard was better than the 5-inch Alcatel 1 phone a friend of mine got from Standup Wireless. A comfy phone if it were larger. I can tolerate a phone even with only 16 GB of ROM if it has at least 2 GB of RAM with at least five and a half inches of screen. But stand up wireless like most providers offered several different models.
I have not seen the phones which are offered by Kroger wireless which I believe is now Access Wireless, or life Wireless or i Wreless. But I heard they were fairly nice and Kroger wireless offers 15 GB of high speed data if you commit both your lifeline and ACP benefits together.
TERRACOM WIRELESS DEALS
I am not an employee. I’ve not met any of their employees. But I have dealt several dozen times with their employees over the past year. I have signed up several dozen friends and family and even strangers as a hobby. I began studying the digital division movement about a year ago when I heard of the emergency broadband benefit program late 2020 or early 2021.
I chose to research the Lifeline program, & the emergency broadband benefit program. As a proactive action altruist I found an easy tool to use to meaningfully help people who are struggling financially. And the digital inclusion movement is going to help people in many areas by helping with meaningful access to the internet.
The EBB or EBBP program paid a benefit of up to $50 per month toward a mobile or Wi-Fi data plan of your choice. If the plan costs more you paid the balance. If the plan costs less you could use the so-called change toward a mobile hotspot device purchase, or toward renting a modem/router. Although some Wi-Fi providers now provide free connection devices, or they allow you to purchase used ones for very cheap and bring your own.
The lifeline program pays in most States $9.25 per month if you use it for a mobile data plan on a phone, or if you use it for a broadband option. Most don’t realize one can use it for a fixed Wi-Fi home data plan. But the lifeline benefit pays only $5.25 per month if you use it for a landline phone plan. Although many people who are still using traditional house phones don’t realize they can pay far less for a VoIP house phone. VoIP is home phone which is carried over internet instead of traditional phone lines. Swallow a house phone has benefits over a mobile phone the VoIP option has only a small vulnerability which shouldn’t be a problem if you’re Wi-Fi remains at least moderately. The USAC was going to phase out all lifeline benefit support for all landline phones last year but they delayed it. I’m glad they did although the alternative looked very tasty. They were talking about making the mandatory minimum service standards for lifeline 1,000 minutes and 18 GB of high-speed data. If I’m not mistaken that would have been for the $9.25 per month benefit which the government paid for a lifeline benefit. Current $30 benefit which is paid by the affordable connectivity program then a person could probably get at least 50 GB of high speed data out of most companies by adding $30 to a plan which included 18 GB of high speed data.
FELLOW LIFELINERS AND ACPers… for your own sake please hear me out and especially the people who hate terracom Wireless.
I wish I had enough time to tell you the many reasons terracom Wireless is the very best company. I know it’s a more saying it’s about boost I will be back in them something awful because I’ve known so many ways Boost Mobile is awful and so many of their different phone poisoned different locations. It’s just that I got a bad slice of the cross-section of the cake so to speak. But hear me out because I will tell a story about how bad Boost Mobile is but I still told people when it was in people’s best interest if they could possibly get a good deal. And had one of the best data plans for the TV program they also have a good day to plant now after I considered it although at first I thought it was bad. Because not many providers are giving 1 unlimited talk and text and data with at least 10 GB of Hotspot data for using just the ACP benefit alone by itself. Although they should be getting at least 20 gigs of high-speed data as unlimited data like the company called SANO HEALTH OR SANO CONNECT IS…type search ACP4U, or Sano ACP table…
I swear I’m not a teracom worker but I’d love to be one and if I were a worker who knows the company’s dirty I think I probably wouldn’t say that. They gave not only the very best tablet for the Emergency Broadband benefit last year which was a SM – t307 Samsung 2020 Tab A 8.4 inch tablet. This tablet at some point last year was averaging nearly $300 online on many various forums. Terracom wireless charging only $10 in one penny at the time. And they were getting screwed by people. And it was probably not the same people who did it to you guys it sounds as if it wasn’t. I do with several the employees many time signing many people up for both Lifeline Andy ACP program together and differently. And there’s so many great things to say about them. This tablet came with unlimited data which I believe was truly unlimited and probably had at least 50 gigabytes of high-speed. All they wanted was people to use that data every month so they will get paid clearly and it would probably take him at least six months to get their money back because they probably paid at least $150 at the very best for the tablet even if they got a Break by buying them in both. And they may have paid it up to over $200 and average for the tablets. I don’t know but they also have one of the best offers for stand-alone Lifeline service which means using your Lifeline benefit by self which is what they offer only now they are currently not offering their ACP plan. And a worker just recently told me it was because of a SIM card contract or something with a business provider I don’t know I don’t know if it was a T and T but it could have had something to do with what is going on with the 3-g networks and such because I have heard that AT&T isn’t working on blackview rugged smartphones but shouldn’t be a problem but any weights terracom Wireless is also giving out a free SmartPhone and some providers are not giving them out now just for Lifeline by you itself. If you’d like my myself a Terracon they will give you 500 minutes to talk with unlimited texting and 4. GB of data but maybe more than they’re giving you a good deal more because they are not offering the ACP benefit right now. No one else gives more than 4.5 gigabytes. The sign up and find out what they’re given. Don’t take my word for it. And if it’s back to 4.5 and it was a fluke. Anyway the smartphones which they are giving out or not the best ones that you can get but they’re up there. In my state they may be the second or third best when you can get for Standalone Lifeline. I sure wish Wireless is giving out maybe the best for Standalone lifeline and SafeLink Wireless may give the second best or now they got a different Moto so it may be the first. Terracom Wireless is giving out eggs bluej 5 L for a Maxwest Nitro MP5 I think it’s called. And these are worth 110 $225. Dual SIM card capable. Unlocked. So you can use another provider SIM card to help you out. It is wise not to leave them. They are selling these same phones that they are offering at about 60 some dollars or something and if they were in the other provider they would be selling them for about twice that literally. I was shocked when I saw it because I’ve seen these phones aren’t right or anything but I seen most of them going through a lot lot more than Terra, is charging and you know a provider always in the going rate of somebody trying to make a phone sales online. And with crazier than that is they charged me $5 for 1GB of extra data even your first GB. Most people will charge well over $10 for the first GB 15 to 20 in specially if there are carrier specialist. Has been known as companies who give great plan and a good deal for the 925 which Lifeline benefit pays per month but it’s always been a monitor that you do not buy any extra minutes data or whatnot from him. Will to terracom wireless is someone I would rather buy from then people who are supposedly sounded a lot cheaper. Just like there was a device access for every American actor posed in September and shut down Sally. Again it was black politicians who was proposing it and the black community is the one who has presented most arguments in a push and work in drive to get us where we are now with digital inclusion. Butts these proposals requested for up to $2 per household for $400 to purchase computers and or tablets which would be possibly $800 per household it sounds like English but it’s not it’s done in the proper way we’re getting the proper protection gear and updates and keeping in tune with things this could have been a huge Money Saver. Especially if they would have had a ion refurbishing most of these devices later. And I’m talkin about the government now messing up I’m not talking about Tara comes responsibility I’m talking about the government because this device for every American act meant that the politicians presented Congress or to whomever wanted us to be able to purchase computers from retailers. They did not want us to be stuck with the offers from providers which have gotten worse over all. Yep I would gladly have dealt with Tara come before any other provider including eBay. I have found very very very cheap SM – t307 8.4 inch tab a 2020 tablets which terracom offers for $10 to us so they get paid only $110 in one penny. Because your government pays $100 also. Terracon does not charge for shipping and I have signed up many people or their Lifeline in their evb program and I have not yet signed up people for ACP because they have not had one since day in Assurance Wireless stopped their tablet offers at the end of last year. Both providers told me babe well workers from both companies told me a couple of months ago they expect to be having another tablet off her but I don’t know I’m not seeing it. But turkon had the best tablet and if they do again God bless him. I am with 20 gigs of data for Lifeline they have been given the best lifeline plan. You may not get a thousand minutes like you do with Assurance in several provider pool also give unlimited texting and 4.5 GB of data. But Tara, customers can usually get by with 15 minutes a day of talk and if they can’t they can use that data for an app like TextNow or something and you can also send SMS messages through your email that is the cheapest way to send text in case you don’t know. Or the cheapest way to communicate using data. You should research the several dozen ways you can conserve background data and battery usage there are many many ways the. And some of them are out of the box just like that. Others are you can install or disable many apps on most devices. And you can go in to the background settings in the apps setting in reduced that ground in data battery and data usage in 2/3 or more of your apps. You can also go in open up what is called the system apps and you’re maybe half of those. I don’t think anyone app needs to use full background data or battery. You can also install a browser like Opera. Although it’s good to keep your Google browser to tell your Google stuff together for the Opera browser saves a lot of data and save data usually say. But get the regular Opera browser not the Opera Mini which is to restrict you. And you can also do things on your Google Chrome browser to save data and Battery. You can also uninstall your apps for Facebook and Facebook Messenger. You do not need Facebook Messenger unless you’re going to do dating and it may be needed for a few other things but you can send messages on Facebook through your Google Chrome browser or your other browser. You must open up the desktop version before you are ready to message. The Facebook site will then think you are a computer and allow you to. They’re a lot of things to learn in this. But terracom is great. And think about that they sell one gigabyte of data for five bucks! And and some politicians have called the lifeline playing I think they said it was a plan is worth 25 to $40 at unlimited texting 4.5 GB or 3 GB and five hundred or thousand minutes. But 830 GB unlimited talk and text data plan with us mobile is only $30 and visible Wireless has a great $25 plan if you find three other partners for the party plan who will handle their own money and info and you do the same. And tell her mobile and hello mobile have some great plans Tello mobile and hello mobile I’m using speech to text and it’s not working. So this is unreal but it would be worth probably 20 bucks or maybe 25 by most rights for the terracom Wireless plan but it will probably wife to wait one or two months to see if they bring back out there tablet offer and if they do not check out a company called s a n o connect to see if they cover you or maybe you can find a Boost Mobile with a Alcatel Joy Tab 2 for preferably $25 or less but it may be the best offer in your area who knows find out what device every company in your area offer and then compare specs. Type the phrase affordable connectivity program providers near me. And then you will be able to enter your area and see up to 100 per violation in contact them all with the same email or message on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram. You can find their number also. And do your homework. Here’s another search phrase type of phrase affordable connectivity providers by state. You’ll see providers with check marks by their names were supposed to offer tablets are computers between $50 and $10. Most tablets for around $10. It may be best to first use your ACP in your lifetime benefit separately with different provider like sign up with terracom wireless or Assurance Wireless for your Lifeline benefit to get the best free phone with assurance. Or get the best free data plan in a very good phone compared to others with Assurance or I mean Terracon. And terracom gives a heck of a lot of data for right now. SafeLink me get a free phone by its self for the lifeline alone but I don’t know. You can use your ACP benefit to sign up with someone like Boost Mobile for terracom or new phone wireless who gives a Alcatel Joy tab one tablet which is probably the fourth best offer in my state for tablets. Then you may be able to move your ACP benefit to I’m not sure but maybe cintex Wireless and if so you’ve made you will get a phone which is worth $200 or more even refurbished. After you get a tablet with it. And after you have already gotten a first phone with Assurance Wireless or terracom Wireless for your lifeline miniphant

I would like to recieve onecof these phones for emergency purposes, how do i do it?
I received a phone and the phone contact person said it was a T-Mobile phone, but it isn’t. I would like some instructions on how to use it, for a how to manual did not accompany it. Sandra L. Jones, 9257 S. Bishop St., Chicago, Il. 60620 . Terracom Cell # 1-872-639-1705 My alternate is 1-773-238-1298. Thank you very much.
I would just like to give a heads up on a couple out of several experiences I’ve had with a company I was with for almost 2 years (waaay to long). I wish someone would have posted something like this as a warning as to the turmoil I would be heading for if I chose them. I had Terracom, (which I also discovered is a sister company of yourtel for your information). If they work the same way you are just outta luck. Recently they sent me an “upgraded” phone, and from the first day it was defective. I called them the same day I got it and basically they said “to bad”. They would not fix or replace it without me giving them another 50 dollars for another phone. Keep in mind this was the same day I got it. I briefly limped around with it for a very short time until it wouldn’t charge anymore. I was stuck. I had ads in the paper (with no phone) etc. and their only solution to me was, again, “upgrade” to another phone for 50. more dollars! This is so typical of this company. I’ve had SEVERAL various issues with this company since the beginning and I don’t ever think I’ve seen worse customer service! I’ve also called during the day on several occaisions where I got a message that they weren’t taking calls at this time leaving me high and dry. When I lost my phone and “upgraded” the 1st time, it took them 6 weeks to get my phone to me. It was blank promise after blank promise. Each person I talked to was clueless why I didn’t have a phone and would give me more blank promises. It was also SO frustrating when I did talk to them because they were from India or somewhere and their English was HORRIBLE! I have so many more instances where they proved nothing but incompetence! Needless to say, I have now dropped them like a hot potato! (which I should’ve done so much earlier!) It is the most worthless, joke of a company I’ve EVER seen! I’m just giving you a courtesy heads up, but make your own decision. Just sayin’.
I am really sorry that you are having such horrible service with these people. I am currently with easywireless and I have great service, and they are all American. When I need to talk to customer service, I can actually understand what they are saying and they are really quick to resolve any issues concerning my phone or my account. I would highly recommend going with them. Another good phone service is straight talk. I have had them in the past and they also have great service, and you only pay $45 a month for unlimited talk/text/web, and there is no hassle whatsoever. Good luck with your phone issues and I hope that you decided to go with either easywireless or straight talk….
Please whatever you do, do not go with this company. read what people are posting about them and their service. They have horrible service and you never talk to an American. Please be really careful when choosing a goverment phone and make sure you understand their terms and policies before signing up with them. Good luck!
Thank you, I appreciate the heads-up. I recently attempted to ‘upgrade’ my cell; after getting the requirements from THEIR I.T. dept, I purchased a newer old phone – only to be told (after the week of shipping) that the phone didn’t have enough numbers in the serial number to allow them to switch the service to the newer phone. So I’ve been considering BUYING their upgrade; but I think I’d rather switch providers, than head into KNOWN areas of frustration.
They did the same to me they are terrorists.i am stuck with them because they said they would fix of I recertified its all lies all there products are defective.i am stuck for months now with service that does not work yet they will do nothing to fix issues.DO NOT USE THEM.they are a front for terrorists apparently they systematically are defrauding the poor disabled and veterans I cant even call 911 yet they don’t care
Terracom Wireless customer service is HORRIBLE!! I find it amazing that a phone company could actually have NO WAY to access a LIVE PERSON. The manufacturers of my phone (Samsung) have no record of you, and the wireless network(verizon) also has no record of you. YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK
Terracom Wireless is the best company by far for the ACP program or they will be when they begin their tablet offer because they have not yet begin it. I heard from workers and from a tech guy that the problem was they had a SIM card contract probably couldn’t solve with a provider or seller or something. And they were supposed to have been wrapping it up and they are supposed to be a pilot program in a card that supposed and I’m not aware that process under one thing they are supposed to get in the same tablet out the gate for the TV programs did they actually lose money until you were with him for a few months and they actually write a letter about this tonight anticipated this because I thought I had to be paying probably around $200 for tablet maybe 175 come to buy my book I’m still sometimes don’t get that big of a deal and they’re giving you a $300 tablet for $10 do the map plus they were one of the extremely few companies who still give a free SmartPhone if you use lifetime benefit by itself and I believe SafeLink Wireless giving free smartphones I don’t know if they give them if you use your ACP benefit or if you use both benefits together SafeLink does have a great data plan if you bundle together both benefits but so does an intercom and I think Temple Telecom also give 20 gigs of data I don’t know if you use your Lifeline in ACP together or if you get that from just using your life together or by itself I mean then you can use your Lifeline with someone else or maybe toward a problem in angle Xfinity told a friend of mine me they did not accept the lifetime benefit toward the Wi-Fi data plan but they should a person could pay only $0.70 a month for their Wi-Fi plan and then I can have you know something else you guys should learn to shop on Alibaba because they have some items for one you can pick buy one at a time by some items over there also and you should learn how to shop on AliExpress and been good and I’m telling you is BB 100 can be found for under $200 there right now although the phone can sell for well over $400 in America and the Oscar h o s c a l S60 sells America for up to like 2:30 often 200 and you can find it on AliExpress or Alibaba for 92 to 97 dollars well who knows Tony Terry, is awesome you guys should stick with him and pay attention I have seen them over the past year or so and many instances and I have signed up many many people with them several dozen and no one has been unhappy not one person let me see let me think for a second and then try to be careful before I say something not true. No not one person was unhappy over there was one little flicker of something with my friend who is deaf got a certain kind of phone she got a Maxwest Nitro phone and get to it for free and I was upset with her for not thinking because we could have sold that phone or trade it in online for someone else man and she just kind of have to spoil a little although her family did neglect her you know there’s a phenomenal like that where some people still like that even though they were neglected or abused. She didn’t like it because it didn’t operate a certain way which helped her with her definition he wasn’t trying to help me and I was doing a lot in her family had never even got her a caption phone and she was in her forties and they showed me that 20 years ago they didn’t give a f*** about her and then when I did they were acting fishy and I figured it was it was because they were jealous I had to use her personal information and ideas stuff and she quickly learned she could trust me and I was out for a self validation not for you and her family wasn’t upset about that never said that I was f****** doing something for making them look bad they talk s*** met me once and talk s*** man trying to talk to my s*** out of blank are. My friend Lizzie whose last name is Taylor what do you call a senior living building used to be called something else and her family man couldn’t give her 10 f****** dollars they were over her check but they couldn’t give her $10 and over 2 months I guess her and I had to come through and get her one penny and finally when I got tired asking about it and I was broke I mean I had zero income Indiana it was a hard to come 10 bucks but I did it and I paid and she started bitching at me that day cuz she just got the money and her aunt happened to come through for her because her family didn’t I tell you Lizzie Taylor I don’t know her f****** people that’s what I did and I didn’t get it but I know it made him look bad because they never got it 20 years ago yeah f*** those people man f*** people like that anybody on here listening but hey Terry Tom Wireless is the best by far man I’m serious you guys should use your ACP benefit to send it with Terracon but you have communicate with him to see it might be a while before they get there per month like many things about the program is complicated do not use your $100 copay to get a tablet unless you are sure you’re getting one as good as terracom or better which will be very very damn hard the only company that might have some is good as Terror time would be cintxylus or airtalk Wireless have all refurbished phones and and tablets but they have some really good ones they have a couple of three other really nice 8 in tablets and they’ve got some phones man what I would do is I’d use my ACP with terracom and then maybe later on you know after 6 months or so transfer to c i n t e x or air Talk Wireless because they have Motorola did one plus Nords three of those that are good one or two that are 5G they have them what is it two of the Samsung a series phone which are real decent specs like at least 4 GB of RAM with at least $4,000 or 5000 battery and they have a LG v50 thinq you know you got some other s*** if you get the right ones if they are not out man you know got time right okie dokie
My concern about this company(Terracom) is that when I lost my phone recently(thursday),they wasn’t no help. I explain to Terracom about me losing my phone they said I needed a sprint compatiable phone to keep same number. If I didn’t I will $25 for a new one and wait 7-10 days for the phone. Another concern is that when calling customer service it takes to long to speak with somebody. Plus I wanted to upgrade my phone to a touchscreen I was told I would have to $145 for it. To the unlimited service will be $33.00. If Terracom is suppose to b a free government service how come they’re charging for upgraded service?
Dear Michael,
Thank you for your post. Yourtel Wireless offers a basic cell phone and monthly cell phone service all free of charge. Additional services and cell phone upgrades require customers to pay.
Warm regards,

Yourtel n terracom are both BS company.they both lie, i was promise UNLimited internet n was lied to and when i confronted them all I got was sorry for the confusion? N I left cricket goverment plan cause they lied to me and I had unlimited Everything with them(cricket),plus I had 4g.Terracom n yourtel have phnes that cant even support! N they customer service is shitty! The grass wasnt greener on the other side. If u have the stuff already dnt upgrade to either of these company they screw u all the way from the phne to the phne bill…by pass these company.
Will I get a free Iphone if I signed up
My girlfriend has a free goverment phone form yourtel, and she was supposed to have unlimited talk and text, but they recently sent her a text message telling her that she has a high usage of minutes and text messages. And she recently found out that she didn’t have unlimited service that she only has 500 minutes/texts. I am so glad that I don’t have service with these people. I am currently with easywireless and I have great service, plus I only pay $6.45 for unlimited talk/text per month. And when I need to call customer service, I actuallly talk to an Amercican, not some person from India or what ever country they are from. I really believe that these people should not be working for us in america. I’m sure that they can find a job in their own country. I would highly recommend that when getting any goverment phone, you should get one with an American company..
I want a phone
I had a terracom phone, and when i moved they told me i was out of their jurisdiction, which is a farce so i got lifeline, now life line dropped me because terracom is still charging the government for service which i dont have. Isn’ there a law against this?
Dear Betty,
I am sorry to learn about the problems you have experienced with Lifeline. I would contact Terracom to cancel your service with them before applying for a new plan. As you know, you can only have one Lifeline Assistance plan per person.
Best of luck,

Hey there, it could be a T-Mobile phone because they use T-Mobile. So they are essentially T-Mobile if they are an mvno which is a mobile virtual Network operator. Only for big companies carry data or are the main characters that is. T-Mobile and Sprint which are a joint a couple now but they are not quite exactly the same in some instances although T-Mobile phones at surance Wireless who is a Lifeline company I believe it’s surance wireless menus Sprint Metro fast PC or whatever the hell they call it it’s in your APN setting. But terracom Wireless yesterday use T-Mobile for their phones as far as I know like most lifeline providers. That’s a good thing because many of the rugged smartphones what you can buy on AliExpress for far cheaper than you can buy them on eBay or with T-Mobile but some of them do not run on the 18 do you like your black phone or the black do phones especially the account as 6000 s c a l s 60 and the bb-800 or the B100 Pro they may not run on the AT&T network in AT&T is doing some stuff to other phones also and getting really picky. Trying to milk people for money. But T-Mobile yeah it is a provider for many of the life-line Specialty Company. And terracom wireless should soon have their tablet out again that they gave for the Emergency Broadband benefit program last year. If you qualify for ACP if you qualify for Lifeline you automatically qualify for ACP so you can sign up for terracom and get a tablet for $10 in one penny. And stay with them for a while because this tablet gets unlimited data but unlike many companies terracom Wireless when they give you unlimited data for the affordable connectivity program they will give you 20 GB speed in at least. They’re doing it now for Lifetime benefit with 500 minutes to talk and unlimited texting. And they are also giving a free SmartPhone for the lifeline benefit even if you use the lifetime benefit alone. They are giving a Maxwest Nitro 5p which sells for about $120 online. I wish they would invest in d o s c a l blackview phones the S60 Pros which have 4 GB of RAM 32GB of RAM and over a 5000 mAh battery like 5580 mha mAh battery. And they have 4 GB of RAM 32GB ROM I believe. I believe they have an octa-core processor in a operating system called. OK Google to the windows whatever the font Android lover 12 and these phones have resistance to water and being dropped and they have night vision and can see a f****** spy camera in the door I mean you’re just in a lot of features that stuff that’s kind of need a toy with no harm and it actually has a lot of appeal and if you want a better phone oh by the
oOSCAL S60 PRO can be found on the American size for around $200 or sometimes even significantly higher.
There is a WP phone & a K that sells for $89 in there is a K series phone that sells for about the same.
BV8800 can be found on AliExpress 4197 right now and I believe the other day with coupons and promo code 195 or no 8185. And not on Express by Ali Baba. Ali Baba and globalsource are two whole self size but there are many items sold on there which you can purchase one at a time. And I’ve seen the ads and such. It is a spectacular mightier version of the OS calls 60 Pro. And both those phones have 4G LTE connectivity. And you should seek a company who receives their data from AT&T not AT&T but T-Mobile and or AT&T and a verizon. I’m not certain if they work with Verizon but I believe they do. I believe the only problem they’ve had is AT&T the same problem any other companies have had. These blackview people at the Hong Kong Branch were awesome and they stay with me all steps of the way and they marked down the package so that it wouldn’t get held up when it reached the United States of evil and they also were very informative and I had mentioned that I bought 800 using my last literal dollar for my daughter so they knew this in the market package down and I was able to get it to her and very quickly quicker than I had anticipated I.
B8800 BL the BL line is the 5G version. And speaking of terracom wireless terracom wireless is supposed to give out the same tablet for the ACP program which they gave out for the Emergency Broadband benefit program last year. And they’re supposed to charge the same for it $10 and one penny the same mentoring minimum many companies will charge you and some guys weren’t quick enough so may you never having to pay no just kidding them you will have to calculate because they get 20 Gigabytes of data on it and if you have a life account with terracom wireless for the lifeline phones if you are using your Lifeline benefit by itself they are giving out unlimited data no no they were giving out unlimited texting with 500 minutes of talk per month for free and 20 gigs for some reason. Probably because they haven’t offered their tablet since the late December they were supposed to resume in March but they had a SIM card contract problem and it was supposed to be served or solved but I suppose it takes time to program the SIM cards. But keep up on it because this tablet by far surpasses any. And he probably the best next deal I seen her one of the best next deals is the offer from what’s their names and no they were immature and she’s going to do that different f****** people’s electricity I tell you anyway terracom Wireless is great. Last year that tablet at about you move around $300 especially if it’s unlocked and many of them are still sell refurbished for over $150 of $200. But the thing is you can buy tablets with Grace best nowadays from China but you have to know some of the companies that exaggerated on their numbers they are lying and I from what I’ve researched some of the main rugged device manufacturers are not or their performances off very little that they are. Like there are tablets

RT-1 BY OUKITEL is a 10 inch tablet which is rugged and has the ability to take many beat downs in water sprays and keep going to read it and you will SIM card and I believe it’s processor is an octa-core. And it has all the rights back seats battery is 10000 Mah that is too large batteries for a tablet. I am interested in everybody keeping your value because you can have to use a tablet sometimes is it if you keep it protected well you can find shockproof cases which fit your tablet very well if you do your research. If you have a budget device whether it’s a phone or tablet you may not find a specific fitting shockproof case for that device so you may have to do some comparisons find out how many inches by the hundreds your tablet is in length and width and depth thickness. And you can also you should also Mark it down the number in millimeters. And you could also find a case like a friend of mine had a sky Elite T8 OCTA tablet. I believe Dimensions were 208 mm by 125×9.9. So he sought out a case which was made for a better known tablet with Dimensions at least as wide and as thick and as long as his sky tablet. I believe we learn that the one of the LG G pads 8 inches or 8.3 in. If there is some slack you can take slack up by being you know sharp better of engineering you know you put some materials here you don’t mind a bunch up and you don’t let that f****** thing overheat but you know as far as need … and I’ll tell you now man you want if you have a heart everybody to get this but I have some cousins of mine and uncles to uncles and a cousin that are so damn selfish they don’t ever tell anyone about anything that they run into any benefits I signed up one of my uncles and a cousin mine are legendary selfish you wouldn’t believe their names are Denise Jesse and Bob and very Blair football best they are so f****** selfish man and they would f****** doubt it here and they would hate but they know some of the s*** they’ve done. Denise has they both used an old lady named Marlene through my grandmother and my aunt who played Avenues to allow them to use her because Marlene was slow and she received a disability check my entire family on that side damn you’re not the entire family but two uncles and my cousin Denise just salaciously I don’t know what the word is disgustingly and when the lady was done from her Alzheimer she went into a place in Wabash Hospital she dropped us off in the middle of the night when we went down she took us to Virginia for about 2 months lived there forever spell for 2 months and we never met the guy she began dating and it was her older sister Thelma Jessie’s ex-boyfriend Daryl calhoun. Feel free to ask him these people that they know the story they remember down in keoki virginia. She moved us a meal a day he was a good provider he wasn’t warm and loving like a man should beat any kids but you know he knows what she was you know she got around she was with six men in that area when she got pregnant with me until the time she had me she was a six man. Call Crow Bill Napier or Holcomb Tom Cox Robert Cox and Dennis jesse. And she didn’t even go to the f****** door man she couldn’t wait to stay in that car rainy hunting f****** and Randy’s some Man Randy Wabash is a c*** man because any man who go out the woman like that when she abandon her children after f****** Trek two states away is a piece of s*** congratulations Randy Hunter you’re a piece of s***. Tessie hunt Wabash and Chris Hunt you can ask some of them about this story I’m sure they’ll know it but they may not be trade her brother but ask Valentina Hubbard I don’t recall what her name is Valentina f****** cross the USA man mama how she couldn’t buy a job and my sister holds it against her and it was rough it was so rough she was able to travel to Canada and f****** Oklahoma and Florida and what’s that are in Texas and wherever the f****** she went man she was hoeing around man and that’s what happens when you got family like that but at least you don’t text from other people she’s f****** feeling guilty so she’s got 245 year olds my sister and brother she raises neither one of them have lived on their own more than a couple or three years I used to discuss that with my brother and I looked at him and I realized he has lived off the women that he used like his ex-wife Sandra Miracle his family gave her a house and he had her going to hawk more than once for getting him toys and s*** drugs in your family please do you should see how disgustingly awful my cousin Denise is she looks like an ashtray this burping up alien acid man when she asks you know you can be nice to her and she’s just a c*** I went and she told me that I could sign her up for getting her a phone and getting her ten dollar Wi-Fi pocket and so you can use your Lifeline benefit instead of paying it toward your Wi-Fi you can use it to pay to get another you know a tablet discount tablet you know it took her about a month and she change your tune on what I said she’s getting someone to give s*** much about her and that’s a nasty woman
I’ll say one thing my uncle Berry and my cousin Denise Berry Blair and Denise Jesse There are both piles of s*** I took my last $10 we both of them when I had 11 or I had $13 total and I spent it to get them a f****** tablet and it was worth $300 tablet and had a great plan neither thank me not one f****** bit of things not one f****** dollar back listen never f****** offered it and that’s been about a year now very cool Dennis was bringing it up it’s talking about Robert my brother told my Uncle Dennis and I know I heard him say it after Michael Jackson I heard him admit it and that bury him less than him and very f****** less than Jared I remember him making him something off his dick and his f****** toes so there and you think f****** Jared Spence wasn’t molesting anybody? You guys think something f***** him up he wasn’t a bad guy he was a good kid when you act like that you ain’t bad you ain’t no threat to nobody he’s strange you know a strange is you dumb f**** on educated piece of s*** is when you decide to let the struggles in life warp you instead of passing it on and harming another person you choose to be uncomfortable and and quirky and awkward okay and he’s mad Society
Laws in America are abhorrent America is committed so many atrocities like the collateral murder video it’s done thousands of those they shot children and then wouldn’t even let them go to an American hospital. America has lied about Germany Shirley and World War II certainly man America is the big propagated. America has french fried hundreds of thousands of Japanese children and babies and little cute faces in elderly people just wanted to be good and had nothing to do with what their government decided but the US was the evil one in the world war every country that’s developed that the US bashes is a country that once it’s autonomy away from the US it doesn’t want to kiss ass and that’s when the US Dogs Out china? Respect f****** or don’t respect your abortion and respect life know you m************ don’t cuz you let them buy with s*** you don’t let men buy with your Sexes pieces of s*** too. And the f****** whole country is disgusting. You would Place thousands of men in jail for child support and many of them have a crude their arrears while they’re incarcerated and they were unable to earn like type the phrase Charles Gillian child support South Bend 24 years he got three eight years she felonies with some of it back up but you know when you get back up in Indiana you do it because you take drugs out of the sheer Terror and fear and you can’t help it and it’s not bad to take drugs it causes bad things bad for you and she work on it but counseling helps you to see how helpless you are to doing and being things and then it helps you and ironic way to do it but the people should be arrested for f****** small position Indiana is a disgusting and atrocious f****** slime pit. And it will go down with all its leaders and all the people and all you good old boys with your fat f****** slime unit in America you are scum. You are your scum and there’s a whole bigger world out there in China is superior to America and so is the Russia and when they put a boot in your f****** ass man I’m going to cheer and I’m going to piss on my local f****** good old boy and I’m going to spit in this f****** Mom’s eye and she should be old enough to understand that yeah that would really sting wouldn’t it man come in and f****** just manhandle the f****** leaders because they’re b****** they can’t do s*** these mother f****** couldn’t fight for their family restaurant don’t think these guys are tough soldiers or cage fighters they’re f****** most of them are f****** sad sexy s*** man America sucks f****** devil dick man they suck devil dick and they give up the ass to the f****** roach dick you guys are f****** scum f*** y’all good night.
*THE ABSOLUTE WORST CELL CARRIER ON THE PLANET. DO NOT USE. YOU CAN’T SAY THAT YOU WEREN’T WARNED!!
My Terracom wireless iPhone was stolen. I have been on their website all day trying to purchase a replacement phone. I tried 3 using different credit cards from 3 different banks and it keep saying that there is a FRAUD ERROR? They tried to purchase the phone for me but was unable to due to the same errors. They kept trying to tell me to call the bank?!?! Come on. 3 different cards from 3 different banks no good? Obviously the problem is in their system.
Different Indian man that barely spoke English gave me 4 addresses of stores that sold Terracom phones in the Tulsa area. After driving all over hell I found that 2 of the addresses were gas stations and had no knowledge of Terracom Wireless. The other two business didn’t even exist. So I went to the Terracom website to locate a store myself. It listed a Walmart and some address with no store name. So I called Walmart. They told me that they do not sell Terracom Wireless phones. So I called the other number that was listed and someone actually answered.the phone. Of course they didn’t know what I was talking about. They don’t sell phones at all.
The last time I called and talked to a Supervisor. He suggested that I call the bank again, which is ludicrous. He then told me to go into a Walmart, give them $115.36 and in about a week I will receive my replacement phone. Does that sound right to you? That sounds like I would be kissing away $115 to me.
This is very frustrating. After several hours and talking with at least 4 different people with broken English including the alleged Supervisor, Their website is wrong and screwed up just like the rest of the company. I have now given up. They have forced me to switch carriers due to their ineptness.
WARNING* DO NOT BUY OR USE TERRACOM WIRELESS FOR ANY OF YOUR wireless needs. They are the worst company I have dealt with in a long time.
And to think that the US Gov’t is actually subsidizing these people is a damn shame.
Massive data loss when using my phone’s WiFi hotspot. A while ago, I was on a radio station’s website watching
the music post as a new song was played. That’s all I was doing Not watching videos, not streaming their audio, just
on the site listening to the music though my radio. I did a data balance check, over 360MB used in the span of
20 minutes!!!
I experienced a massive data loss of nearly 2 gigabytes recently. Fortunately I bitched at them so fiercely they replace it, but since more massive losses and the two customer service people who work there, have no damned
sense to answer questions. All they do is pile on and act all incompetent
TERRACOM IS A PIECE OF S*** COMPANY!! THEY SUCK!! THEIR PEOPLE ARE USELESS, INCOMPETENT, AND THEIR TECHNOLOGY BELONGS IN A DAMNED DUMPSTER ALONG WITH THEIR COMPANY!!
*TERRACOM WIRELESS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST CELL CARRIER ON THE PLANET. DO NOT USE. YOU CAN’T SAY THAT YOU WEREN’T WARNED!!

So I called the other number that was listed and someone actually answered.the phone. Of course they didn’t know what I was talking about. They don’t sell phones at all.
The last time I called and talked to a Supervisor, he suggested that I call the bank again, which is ludicrous. He then told me to go into a Walmart, give them $115.36 and in about a week I will receive my replacement phone. Does that sound right to you? That sounds like I would be kissing away $115 to me.
This is very frustrating.Their website is wrong and screwed up just like the rest of the company. I have now given up. They have forced me to switch carriers due to their ineptness.
WARNING* DO NOT BUY OR USE TERRACOM WIRELESS FOR ANY OF YOUR wireless needs. They are the worst company I have dealt with in a long time.
And to think that the US Gov’t is actually subsidizing these people is a damn shame.
I also have a terracom phone and I’m having problems with it. I can’t receive or send messages on my phone. It also overheats. I’m just looking for another company with 500 min. This is my 2 and phone with them & I’m having lots of problems.
I have a question if I purchase the same phone terracom advertise which is sprint CDMA iPhone 4 then as long as it’s sprint compatible will it work??? I want to get one through eBay but was wondering if it will be compatible. They told me they go by sprint CDMA so I’m just questioning before purchasing the phone???
Is Terracing through AT&T? I just need an AT&T phone for a SIM card I have w/a # I want to keep. IS THERE ANY LIFELINE SERVICE THAT IS AT&T COMPATIBLE?
I have applied for a free phone twice now. Once with Legacy Wireless out of Coffeyville and once with Terracom over the phone. Have never received a phone for the last 2 months. Have called and gotten a disconnected number and then phoned the ceo. He gave me his direct line which I have never been able to receive. I had a terrible time trying to understand these people on the phone. This sounded like they had outsourced it to India. Straight Talk is almost as bad but at least the people at WalMart try to help. I do have a Walmart Straight Talk but have a hard time coming up with 50 dollars every month. I live in low income housing, I make less than 14,000 dollars a year and I’m on Medicare and Social Security. This company is not elderly friendly and need to be shut down. If this is the way the government works no wonder this election is a farce.,
How do you get a simple number for a Queensland company using your name even the mumber on web site dont work get them to call me kev have started with them been on internet way to long pls 0434681050 kev thank you if you have the technology to do this,
TerraCom out of coffeyville came to my sins apt.took his information and mine.
Left me a shine that will nit activate on third day of waiting now. And told my sin system was down would bring him back a phone.when his info went through. Today he is told sorry guess you were denied.
There is no reason for him to be denied.
The ladies were nice and polite but the company seems to have been a fraud.
With no one to fix this problem .. We are filing a police report . I am afraid we were just scammed for personal information.
Good thing I captured pictures of the two ladies with my working phone.
I just received my phone from Terracom, and I actually like it. Its a flip phone. and the number pad is big enough that when I text, I don’t hit the other keys. Now…I would also like to add that I applied 6 times before I was accepted. When I called, which was several times, I could barely understand what they were saying. When I asked what location they were in, the response was India. When I asked them to repeat what they were saying, because I couldn’t understand, he said “just say yes”, I thought, huh? So, I said yes. Had no idea what he was saying, he was reading from a script and had to repeat everything he said, because I didn’t reply the way he wanted.. It was laughable, and I thought, this is a Government phone?? American Government phone??
Wonder if Trump will end the free phones, or will he bring the Government contract back to America? Hell, maybe I could get a job with Terracom, lol. I got 500 minutes, with unlimited text. So far, I like the service, phone is easy to use, and doesn’t look like they paid a $1.00 for it. Im not complaining, really…just responding to the commenters on this site that couldn’t understand the broken English.
i was at walmart today and a tent was set-up saying free TerraCom phones so i walked over at told them i lost my phone and safenet told me i had to purchase a trac-phon to get service again and the guy said no you don’t we can set you up in 15 minutes and they did. i was given a (boost mobile) phone model LG LS855 i think it’s like a smart phone i didn’t recieve a manual or sim card was told this phone doesn’t require one. when we were finished i was told wait 15 minutes and you will be good to go and i was. since i have never had a phone like this i didn’t even know how to turn it on much less add my contacts or how to set up your phone functions but i think i can figure this out, my friends all said the same thing when they got smart phones.. and yes i talked to a 3rd world person and yes understanding was very difficult, i get 900 minutes or texts which is way more than i’ll ever need per month
I’ve lost my phone. How do I get another phone that was my life line. Please help me with this. Thank you
My father recertified and later they disconnected his phone. Went over to office they said was because of some error on their part and she would reconnect but with different number. We decided to forgo going with Terra com. We tried to apply at another place but Terra Com still had him locked up on their service which he didn’t even have a working number for over 3 months. We called the gov office…they instructed us to file claim which we did then they wanted us to call Terra Com. My father couldn’t hear or understandand asked that I help him and told her to talk to me…she kept telling me to get off phone…My father said I can’t understand you. He asked where she was from…she said India. She then asked what his father’s name was…he told her his father had nothing to do with this. Then she asked what his favorite subject was in school. He told her to stop the foolishness and cancel the acct. She said we have to set it up before we can cancel. She was trying to con him. She asked why he didn’t want them anymore. He said I can’t understand you people. I was having to sit there and try to figure out what they were saying to relay to him. He finally told her I just want you away from me…I don’t want to do business with you. They are terrible…told me I had unlimited mind and was always cutting my service off. My mother had been battling cancer and I needed my phone. They would want me to buy additional minutes. They got to where they wouldn’t give receipts for payments and charge for accepting payments in their office even though you are paying them for their service. That should be against the law!!! I paid payment and was never given credit. They did same to my father. Don’t go with this company….run!!!!
They systematically defraud the american public they are a terrorist organization they need to be annialated.cease doing business i america do not use them i wish i would have known as I am stuck with them and I have no device that works I did the replacement and its defective also all money is all they want
I have tried calling their Customer Service since 8AM eastern time and I keep getting hung up on and all I am trying to do is get my government phone back on and I am not sure what to do. Can anyone assist me please
I have been reading down through all the posts of nothing nice to say about Terracom and their customer service associates. I am so upset and frustrated with customer service right now but what can I do or who else do I call to voice a complaint to? I ask to speak to a supervisor and customer service rep told me “NO” that there wasn’t anything different a supervisor could do to help me said they all use the same hand what ever that was suspose to mean I have no clue. I called in this am to add mins to my phone to make important medical calls to my Moms Doctors. The money was approved off my debit card and Terracom took it but did not give me the mins I paid for. I was told in very poor broken English to order mins and pay by debit with customer service not the automated service in the future . Basically live with mistakes or else. Kinda like the rest of the utilities either except their judgement calls or else. You have 2 choices Except it or Bendover. Believe me please that crying real tears doesn’t help with this company because they say they are a live person but feels like you are being scolded like a dog by a Robot with no heart no soul and ice water in their veins inside of blood. Enough said and enough of my time wasted all 4-what? Still mad as hell loosing 2000 mins I paid for with proof and no Doctors called for my Mom who is gravely ill and total care for me to take care of her at home. Thanks for nothing you all done for me today except give me a stress headake. Barb..Topeka Ks.

IVE PROOF TERRACOM HAD THE BEST TABLET AND DATA OFFER FOR THE EMERGENCY BROADBAND BENEFIT PROGRAM. They gave a $300 tablet for the ebb program for only $10 and they will likely begin doing it again soon. And they gave a great amount of data. They are one of the extremely few providers who give more than 10 gigabytes of high-speed mobile data for the ACP program.
They give one of the better phones for the standalone lifeline program even if you use only your lifeline benefit. A dual SIM card capable smartphone which is unlocked and accept SIM cards from other providers. They have now the only All American operator team in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Heather Thomas, Ms Trammell Johnson, Stephanie Keahy, Al Bortz…
Terracom Wireless was one of the few providers who offered a discounted device option for the emergency broadband benefit program. The discounted device option means the provider sign up with for a mobile or Wi-Fi data plan sells to you a tablet or a laptop or a desktop. The provider is mandated to charge you a copay over $10 but under $50.
Relatively few providers offer tablets, but almost all of them I have seen are new, except Newphone & Cintex who have stated in some ads the Alcatel joy to have one tablet they offer is refurbished, & in some ads they state these tablets are brand new. It is possible that they once had refurbished tablets and now have new ones, or they could have a mixture of both. I know someone who received a phone for fully free from one of these two sister companies and they said they really liked it a lot. It was an LG ThinQ, I believe. Cintex & Newphone are one of the companies with the best standalone lifeline plan of 1000 minutes plus unlimited texting plus 4.5 GB of data. They give better phones for lifeline than most, although some may be refurbished they are said to be in excellent condition. They simply want you to use them for at least 4 months to pay off the better devices they provide, which are better than most, even if some may be refurbished. Like many providers, they have offers for standalone lifeline. And like many, their standalone ACP offer includes unlimited data, which has a limited number of gigabytes of high-speed data, and internet access slow significantly after these high-speed gigabytes of data are used. Cintex & Newphone also have a plan offered if you commit both your lifeline and ACP benefits together. I don’t know but they may offer extra.
ASSURANCE WIRELESS AND SAFELINK WIRELESS TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAVE THE BEST OVERALL BUNDLED PLANS IF YOU BUNDLE TOGETHER BOTH YOUR LIFELINE AND YOUR ACP BENEFITS:
Assurance gives 35 GB of high speed data with 10 GB of hotspot data plus unlimited talking and texting.
SafeLink gives 25 GB of high-speed data with 5 GB of hotspot plus unlimited talking and texting.
I believe both providers offer unlimited data, which will not stop after high-speed data is used, but may slow down.
I’ll tell you this about the emergency broadband benefit program ERA last year… I personally saw two SafeLink accounts and one Walmart family Mobile account use up all their supposed limit of gigabytes of high speed data… At that time I believe SafeLink high speed gigabytes for ebb was 20 and I know the Walmart family Mobile $50 plan which was their ebb offer… WFM gave 40 GB of high-speed data with an incredible 30 GB of hotspot data plus unlimited talking and texting. And I know the 30 GB of hotspot data was on top of or added to the 40 gigabytes of high speed data. Some providers who mention different numbers for high-speed data and hotspot data have plans where the hotspot data is actually part of the overall high-speed data. But I know Walmart family Mobile and boost Mobile and $50 plans where the hotspot data was added on to the high speed data. And I can bash boost Mobile all day long especially for overcharging a family member of mine $20 per month for 30 months and refusing to return $400 of the $600 when offered to do so in the form of products or payments.. I could be bashing the hell out of boost but I still am honest with people and tell them boost mobile offers one of the best tablets for the ebb or ACP program, even if they may charge a total of over $40 including tax and activation fees which other providers do not charge for tablets, and they may be the only provider requiring a person to enter a store to purchase a tablet for the ACP program, which other providers do not do.
MY POINT IS IF YOU WANT THE BEST OFFER FOR LIFELINE AND OR FOR THE AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM OR IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT WHO IS IN A STATE COVERED BY TERRACOM WIRELESS.. COVER UP YOUR PRIDE AND YOUR ANGER BECAUSE THAT SHOULD BE DIRECTED AT THE PEOPLE WHO WRONGED YOU. THE COMPANY WHICH HAS THE SAME NAME IS NOW DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
Although the best provider for lifeline or for the ACP program may be different for people who have different variables, you cannot go wrong if you sign up for both the lifeline program and also the ACP program with Terracom Wireless.
BIKE INSURANCE WIRELESS TERRACOM WIRELESS TEMPORARILY STOPPED THE SALES OF THEIR TABLETS DURING THE TWO MONTH PERIOD TRANSITIONING BETWEEN THE EBB AND THE ACP PROGRAMS. More than one operator from both companies told me they will again be selling tablets, but aren’t certain when, likely because they have to figure out how to avoid losing money to customers who grab a device and run. Terracom gave maybe the best tablet in the nation for the EBB program. Although the Coolpad tablet given out by Assurance was connectable only through Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth or cable, but not a 4G LTE connectable tablet, they gave possibly the third or fourth best tablet of the 10 or 12 available in my state. I’ve seen only a handful of 10-in tablets for the ebb/acp programs: Assurance. Localtel Communications’ Lenovo. Big Bend Telephone of Texas 10.Amazon Fire. Team Midwest MEC 10 Amazon Fire.
SOME COMPANY NAMED NEXTLINK OFFERS A 10 INCH 2 IN 1 WITH 4 GB RAM & 64 GB ROM!!! Copay fee is $49.99, the max allowed, worth it!
KINETIC BY WINDSTREAM SOLD A SAMSUNG A7 OR A7 LITE for the ebb program, for a copay of only $20 or $25. I believe these tablets are 10 inch or 8.7 inch.
Kinetic by Windstream is one of the many Wi-Fi providers who offer a low income based discounted Wi-Fi plan between $10 and $20 per month, even without using your lifeline or ACP benefit.
IT IS BEST FOR MOST PEOPLE TO SIGN UP FOR THREE BENEFITS:
1: Sign up for the best tablet or laptop offered in your area. Terracom doesn’t cover your area the next best tablet offer Maybe Boost, or Standup wireless, or Cintex, or…
CATHECT COMMUNICATION OFFERS 20 GB OF HIGH SPEED DATA FOR THE $30 PER MONTH BENEFIT PAID BY THE ACP PROGRAM. They & Terracom are the only two I know who offer this for standalone ACP. Cathect sells for the ACP program a TAB 8 tablet, manufactured by the company NUU, who has a very good reputation for making budget tablets which perform as well as devices which cost significantly more. I’ve not seen one but from what I read I expect they are much like the Elite T8 Octa tablet made by sky devices, and sold by the provider Stand-up wireless for ACP. The sky 8-in tablet is an excellent product which performs exactly like the $300 Samsung tablet given by terracon wireless. Some budget tablets are difficult to find exact fitting shockproof cases or screen covers. So you may research other better known flagship devices. If you want to use a protective case of a different tablet you may be able to use one which is just a millimeter or few longer or wider or thicker. Even if the other tablet is a mm or 2 thinner, the case may fit but it must be a millimeter or few longer or wider, not less. If button placement of buttons and or speakers don’t match you may doctor it with an exacto knife or a Dremel disc grinder which you could borrow or rent. And you could do some arts and crafts using some glue and or double-sided tape and or even some layers of cloth to pad. You can use strips of denim or flannel along the edge, and an extra strip on each corner. You should put enough work into your protective phone and tablet cases. So they don’t need to be pretty to keep your device pretty you don’t need to worry about devices overheating if you learn the few dozen tech tips to reduce background data and battery usage. Uninstall or disable many apps. Open the system apps which are hidden. You can access most sites through the web browser. You can message on Facebook through the web browser if you click on desktop version. And uninstall Facebook app and Facebook Messenger app which are two battery drainers and data drainers…
Sign up for low income based Wi-Fi with one of the providers who offers a plan between $10 & $20 per month. Cox Communications & Mediacom have plans called connect to compete. AT&T has Access.
Optimum or Suddenlink have Altice or Advantage
Terracom Wireless They charge only $10 & 1 penny for an unused 2020 8.4 inch Tab A Samsung SM-T307 tablet. Worth $300, look it up. They also gave unlimited data which was highly likely truly unlimited, or at least 50 GB at high speed. I say this because they charged $40 for their unlimited data plan when the emergency brought in benefit program paid up to a $50 per month benefit for your Wi-Fi or mobile data plan. And when Terracom learned the ACP program would be paying a $30 per month benefit they chose to continue to reduce their forget to plan fee to $30 so it would be fully paid for by the ACP $30 per month benefit. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they did drop the high-speed gigabytes a bit.
I DO REALIZE MANY OF YOU VERY LIKELY HAD REASON TO HATE THEM THROUGH BUT THEY ARE A LITERALLY DIFFERENT COMPANY NOW.
I myself have been very pissed off at qlink wireless although I realize later it was my fault when I transferred from SafeLink because I didn’t research my phone well enough. And I was allowed to immediately return to Safelink. HEAR ME OUT BECAUSE IF YOU WANT A DIFFERENT COMPANY YEARS LATER THIS IS A DIFFERENT COMPANY.
And well any provider paid or free has tons of complaints against them you almost never hear the many good stories.
TERRACOM WIRELESS HEAD THE BEST OFFER FOR THE EMERGENCY BROADBAND BENEFIT PROGRAM. A $300 flagship Samsung tablet for only $10, with a free data plan which was unlimited and probably had at least 35 to 50 GB of high speed data.
Terracom wireless also has one of the best stand-alone lifeline offers.
Many there are maybe three dozen or so companies who specialize in the lifeline program. And most of these probably offer a standard of $350 to 1,000 minutes of free talk per month with unlimited texting and 4.5 GB of internet data. And many offer a free smartphone. Several including Assurance wireless, Stand up Wireless, Q Link & Truconnect give 1,000 minutes of talk… While terracom wireless has a standalone lifeline offer of 500 minutes of monthly talk with unlimited texting and 4.5 GB of internet data… This 500 minutes is enough for most people at 17 minutes of talk per day. And here come wireless has probably the only All American operator of any lifeline or non lifeline carrier I’ve encountered. Very quick service including delivery of lifeline phones and tablets for EBB. I’ve seen the manager Heather Thomas personally reply within a day or less three times in one week to family and friends of mine.
Over 90% of the many people I’ve signed up for the emergency broadband benefit program with terracom received their $300 tablet at a cost of $10 within three business days. A couple received it in maybe five business days on a holiday. And one person received theirs in 628 days in early December when things got really hectic.
The phones which I’ve seen friends and family received from terracom most of the time are BLU J5L or MAXWEST Nitro 5P smartphones. These come with a protective case and screen cover. Theyre dual sim card capable. 3 of these phones accepted SIM cards from a different provider in their 2nd SIM card slot. Apparently they’re unlocked. They cost around $80 on Amazon, some of the better Lifeline phones I’ve seen.
But several providers do now seem to be offering significantly better phones for Lifeline, & Maybe even better if you combine both your lifeline and ACP benefits together. Because there has been a lot more money flowing from the EBB and ACP programs.
Assurance Wireless has been getting many people Schok Volt SV55 or Wilo Life 3 phones. Assurance has given Moto G pure phones, even for people who have only standalone lifeline service with Assurance SafeLink Wireless apparently also gives the Moto G Pure, and probably better phones for the other phones they offer.
But all providers give out various devices depending upon what is available. Although we all would rather have the Moto G Pure the other two phones I’ve seen given out by Assurance have a five and a half inch screen.
I liked even the old Unimax UMX693CL smartphone which Assurance Wireless gave, which was the only phone I didn’t feel pressured to buy a protective case for and I even purposely abuse a lot which is sacrilegious to me and even when it kicked the bucket I was still able to add button apps so I could still control it although it was slow going. I often used old devices for chromecasting or hotspots to preserve the newer devices.
The UMX got a bad rep for spyware although the spyware was not at all dangerous but simply probably tracking the habits of Americans for commercial reasons. Americans get really racist and patriotic about this but the Chinese aren’t going to get a damn military secret at all out of some poor ass people like me who must file for assistance. And I believe the Chinese people are overall better than we are. I’m damn proud of being a red-blooded white boy but I am strong enough to admit when my kind has fallen short and needs to be called out. And I want to give a shout out to the Chinese because they are offering incredible products at unbelievable prices compared to americans. I just saved up and purchased my daughter a BV 8800 blackview phone. I got it on sale with the coupon and the promo code just under $200. Or about $210 with tax. And this phone is easily selling for $350 to $400 on Amazon and ebay. Trust me we have a lot of benefits coming from the Chinese… If you ever learn how to shop on AliExpress or Banggood you’ll never piss with eBay or Amazon again…
Anyway the UMX phone which assurance wireless used to get out as a standard was better than the 5-inch Alcatel 1 phone a friend of mine got from Standup Wireless. A comfy phone if it were larger. I can tolerate a phone even with only 16 GB of ROM if it has at least 2 GB of RAM with at least five and a half inches of screen. But stand up wireless like most providers offered several different models.
I have not seen the phones which are offered by Kroger wireless which I believe is now Access Wireless, or life Wireless or i Wreless. But I heard they were fairly nice and Kroger wireless offers 15 GB of high speed data if you commit both your lifeline and ACP benefits together.
TERRACOM WIRELESS DEALS
I am not an employee. I’ve not met any of their employees. But I have dealt several dozen times with their employees over the past year. I have signed up several dozen friends and family and even strangers as a hobby. I began studying the digital division movement about a year ago when I heard of the emergency broadband benefit program late 2020 or early 2021.
I chose to research the Lifeline program, & the emergency broadband benefit program. As a proactive action altruist I found an easy tool to use to meaningfully help people who are struggling financially. And the digital inclusion movement is going to help people in many areas by helping with meaningful access to the internet.
The EBB or EBBP program paid a benefit of up to $50 per month toward a mobile or Wi-Fi data plan of your choice. If the plan costs more you paid the balance. If the plan costs less you could use the so-called change toward a mobile hotspot device purchase, or toward renting a modem/router. Although some Wi-Fi providers now provide free connection devices, or they allow you to purchase used ones for very cheap and bring your own.
The lifeline program pays in most States $9.25 per month if you use it for a mobile data plan on a phone, or if you use it for a broadband option. Most don’t realize one can use it for a fixed Wi-Fi home data plan. But the lifeline benefit pays only $5.25 per month if you use it for a landline phone plan. Although many people who are still using traditional house phones don’t realize they can pay far less for a VoIP house phone. VoIP is home phone which is carried over internet instead of traditional phone lines. Swallow a house phone has benefits over a mobile phone the VoIP option has only a small vulnerability which shouldn’t be a problem if you’re Wi-Fi remains at least moderately. The USAC was going to phase out all lifeline benefit support for all landline phones last year but they delayed it. I’m glad they did although the alternative looked very tasty. They were talking about making the mandatory minimum service standards for lifeline 1,000 minutes and 18 GB of high-speed data. If I’m not mistaken that would have been for the $9.25 per month benefit which the government paid for a lifeline benefit. Current $30 benefit which is paid by the affordable connectivity program then a person could probably get at least 50 GB of high speed data out of most companies by adding $30 to a plan which included 18 GB of high speed data.
FELLOW LIFELINERS AND ACPers… for your own sake please hear me out and especially the people who hate terracom Wireless.
I wish I had enough time to tell you the many reasons terracom Wireless is the very best company. I know it’s a more saying it’s about boost I will be back in them something awful because I’ve known so many ways Boost Mobile is awful and so many of their different phone poisoned different locations. It’s just that I got a bad slice of the cross-section of the cake so to speak. But hear me out because I will tell a story about how bad Boost Mobile is but I still told people when it was in people’s best interest if they could possibly get a good deal. And had one of the best data plans for the TV program they also have a good day to plant now after I considered it although at first I thought it was bad. Because not many providers are giving 1 unlimited talk and text and data with at least 10 GB of Hotspot data for using just the ACP benefit alone by itself. Although they should be getting at least 20 gigs of high-speed data as unlimited data like the company called SANO HEALTH OR SANO CONNECT IS…type search ACP4U, or Sano ACP table…
I swear I’m not a teracom worker but I’d love to be one and if I were a worker who knows the company’s dirty I think I probably wouldn’t say that. They gave not only the very best tablet for the Emergency Broadband benefit last year which was a SM – t307 Samsung 2020 Tab A 8.4 inch tablet. This tablet at some point last year was averaging nearly $300 online on many various forums. Terracom wireless charging only $10 in one penny at the time. And they were getting screwed by people. And it was probably not the same people who did it to you guys it sounds as if it wasn’t. I do with several the employees many time signing many people up for both Lifeline Andy ACP program together and differently. And there’s so many great things to say about them. This tablet came with unlimited data which I believe was truly unlimited and probably had at least 50 gigabytes of high-speed. All they wanted was people to use that data every month so they will get paid clearly and it would probably take him at least six months to get their money back because they probably paid at least $150 at the very best for the tablet even if they got a Break by buying them in both. And they may have paid it up to over $200 and average for the tablets. I don’t know but they also have one of the best offers for stand-alone Lifeline service which means using your Lifeline benefit by self which is what they offer only now they are currently not offering their ACP plan. And a worker just recently told me it was because of a SIM card contract or something with a business provider I don’t know I don’t know if it was a T and T but it could have had something to do with what is going on with the 3-g networks and such because I have heard that AT&T isn’t working on blackview rugged smartphones but shouldn’t be a problem but any weights terracom Wireless is also giving out a free SmartPhone and some providers are not giving them out now just for Lifeline by you itself. If you’d like my myself a Terracon they will give you 500 minutes to talk with unlimited texting and 4. GB of data but maybe more than they’re giving you a good deal more because they are not offering the ACP benefit right now. No one else gives more than 4.5 gigabytes. The sign up and find out what they’re given. Don’t take my word for it. And if it’s back to 4.5 and it was a fluke. Anyway the smartphones which they are giving out or not the best ones that you can get but they’re up there. In my state they may be the second or third best when you can get for Standalone Lifeline. I sure wish Wireless is giving out maybe the best for Standalone lifeline and SafeLink Wireless may give the second best or now they got a different Moto so it may be the first. Terracom Wireless is giving out eggs bluej 5 L for a Maxwest Nitro MP5 I think it’s called. And these are worth 110 $225. Dual SIM card capable. Unlocked. So you can use another provider SIM card to help you out. It is wise not to leave them. They are selling these same phones that they are offering at about 60 some dollars or something and if they were in the other provider they would be selling them for about twice that literally. I was shocked when I saw it because I’ve seen these phones aren’t right or anything but I seen most of them going through a lot lot more than Terra, is charging and you know a provider always in the going rate of somebody trying to make a phone sales online. And with crazier than that is they charged me $5 for 1GB of extra data even your first GB. Most people will charge well over $10 for the first GB 15 to 20 in specially if there are carrier specialist. Has been known as companies who give great plan and a good deal for the 925 which Lifeline benefit pays per month but it’s always been a monitor that you do not buy any extra minutes data or whatnot from him. Will to terracom wireless is someone I would rather buy from then people who are supposedly sounded a lot cheaper. Just like there was a device access for every American actor posed in September and shut down Sally. Again it was black politicians who was proposing it and the black community is the one who has presented most arguments in a push and work in drive to get us where we are now with digital inclusion. Butts these proposals requested for up to $2 per household for $400 to purchase computers and or tablets which would be possibly $800 per household it sounds like English but it’s not it’s done in the proper way we’re getting the proper protection gear and updates and keeping in tune with things this could have been a huge Money Saver. Especially if they would have had a ion refurbishing most of these devices later. And I’m talkin about the government now messing up I’m not talking about Tara comes responsibility I’m talking about the government because this device for every American act meant that the politicians presented Congress or to whomever wanted us to be able to purchase computers from retailers. They did not want us to be stuck with the offers from providers which have gotten worse over all. Yep I would gladly have dealt with Tara come before any other provider including eBay. I have found very very very cheap SM – t307 8.4 inch tab a 2020 tablets which terracom offers for $10 to us so they get paid only $110 in one penny. Because your government pays $100 also. Terracon does not charge for shipping and I have signed up many people or their Lifeline in their evb program and I have not yet signed up people for ACP because they have not had one since day in Assurance Wireless stopped their tablet offers at the end of last year. Both providers told me babe well workers from both companies told me a couple of months ago they expect to be having another tablet off her but I don’t know I’m not seeing it. But turkon had the best tablet and if they do again God bless him. I am with 20 gigs of data for Lifeline they have been given the best lifeline plan. You may not get a thousand minutes like you do with Assurance in several provider pool also give unlimited texting and 4.5 GB of data. But Tara, customers can usually get by with 15 minutes a day of talk and if they can’t they can use that data for an app like TextNow or something and you can also send SMS messages through your email that is the cheapest way to send text in case you don’t know. Or the cheapest way to communicate using data. You should research the several dozen ways you can conserve background data and battery usage there are many many ways the. And some of them are out of the box just like that. Others are you can install or disable many apps on most devices. And you can go in to the background settings in the apps setting in reduced that ground in data battery and data usage in 2/3 or more of your apps. You can also go in open up what is called the system apps and you’re maybe half of those. I don’t think anyone app needs to use full background data or battery. You can also install a browser like Opera. Although it’s good to keep your Google browser to tell your Google stuff together for the Opera browser saves a lot of data and save data usually say. But get the regular Opera browser not the Opera Mini which is to restrict you. And you can also do things on your Google Chrome browser to save data and Battery. You can also uninstall your apps for Facebook and Facebook Messenger. You do not need Facebook Messenger unless you’re going to do dating and it may be needed for a few other things but you can send messages on Facebook through your Google Chrome browser or your other browser. You must open up the desktop version before you are ready to message. The Facebook site will then think you are a computer and allow you to. They’re a lot of things to learn in this. But terracom is great. And think about that they sell one gigabyte of data for five bucks! And and some politicians have called the lifeline playing I think they said it was a plan is worth 25 to $40 at unlimited texting 4.5 GB or 3 GB and five hundred or thousand minutes. But 830 GB unlimited talk and text data plan with us mobile is only $30 and visible Wireless has a great $25 plan if you find three other partners for the party plan who will handle their own money and info and you do the same. And tell her mobile and hello mobile have some great plans Tello mobile and hello mobile I’m using speech to text and it’s not working. So this is unreal but it would be worth probably 20 bucks or maybe 25 by most rights for the terracom Wireless plan but it will probably wife to wait one or two months to see if they bring back out there tablet offer and if they do not check out a company called s a n o connect to see if they cover you or maybe you can find a Boost Mobile with a Alcatel Joy Tab 2 for preferably $25 or less but it may be the best offer in your area who knows find out what device every company in your area offer and then compare specs. Type the phrase affordable connectivity program providers near me. And then you will be able to enter your area and see up to 100 per violation in contact them all with the same email or message on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram. You can find their number also. And do your homework. Here’s another search phrase type of phrase affordable connectivity providers by state. You’ll see providers with check marks by their names were supposed to offer tablets are computers between $50 and $10. Most tablets for around $10. It may be best to first use your ACP in your lifetime benefit separately with different provider like sign up with terracom wireless or Assurance Wireless for your Lifeline benefit to get the best free phone with assurance. Or get the best free data plan in a very good phone compared to others with Assurance or I mean Terracon. And terracom gives a heck of a lot of data for right now. SafeLink me get a free phone by its self for the lifeline alone but I don’t know. You can use your ACP benefit to sign up with someone like Boost Mobile for terracom or new phone wireless who gives a Alcatel Joy tab one tablet which is probably the fourth best offer in my state for tablets. Then you may be able to move your ACP benefit to I’m not sure but maybe cintex Wireless and if so you’ve made you will get a phone which is worth $200 or more even refurbished. After you get a tablet with it. And after you have already gotten a first phone with Assurance Wireless or terracom Wireless for your lifeline miniphant
