voice lines are $15.80-$17.80 per month and business
services are $28.00-$32.00 per month. Specific rates will

CenturyLink participates in a government benefit program
(Lifeline) to make residential telephone or broadband
service more affordable to eligible low-income individuals
and families. Eligible customers are those that meet
eligibility standards as defined by the FCC and state
commissions. Residents who live on federally recognized

which can be either a wireline or wireless service.
Broadband speeds must be 15 Mbps download and 2 Mbps
upload or faster to qualify.
Lifeline discounts include a transfer restriction (port
freeze). This means that you are unable to obtain the
Lifeline discount on service with another provider for a
period of time. The length of time depends on the services
you purchase – 60 days for voice telephone service,
12 months for qualifying broadband service. Certain
exceptions to the transfer restrictions may apply. See
