Low Income

Link Up Support

What is Link Up Support?

Link Up support reduces the one-time cost associated with initiating telephone service and line extension to the consumer's residence. Eligible consumers also qualify for a deferred payment schedule for any remaining costs of up to $200. Link Up discounts reduce the cost of either wireline or wireless service, but do not offset the cost of purchasing a wireless phone. Link Up does not cover the cost of wiring inside a home. A consumer may only receive the Link Up discount once, unless that consumer moves to a new residence-consecutive discounts at the same address are not allowed.

  • Non-tribal Customers
    Consumers qualifying for Link Up support are eligible to save 50 percent on installation fees, up to $30.
  • Tribal Customers
    Eligible low-income consumers living on tribal lands are eligible for an additional discount of up to $70 to cover 100% of the charges between $60 and $130. However, tribal customers must still pay 50% of the first $60.
