Gen Mobile, a subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation, has launched its federal Lifeline program aimed at providing affordable wireless connectivity to low-income and underserved households. As an approved Lifeline provider, Gen Mobile offers eligible customers free talk, text, and 4.5GB data plans, helping them stay connected to essential services like healthcare and education. The service is available in over 20,000 zip codes across the United States, with additional data plans available for state and Tribal subsidies in select regions. Gen Mobile's initiative is part of a broader commitment to bridge the digital divide and promote digital equity. The company also offers affordable phone options and prepaid plans for those who do not qualify for Lifeline services.
