Guide on how to get free government iPhone 14 from well-known telecom providers through the ACP Program.
By now you might know that there is an Affordable Connectivity Program, formerly known as Lifeline, that allows you to get a free smartphone along with a $30 monthly (for qualifying Tribal lands you get up to $75/month) discount on the phone or internet services. This program is however not available to all and you read the guide on who qualifies for ACP. Talking about the smartphones being offered, you get various mid-range Android phones and some network operators also sell iPhones too. Some eager users have searched with the terms "free government iPhone 14" i.e., seeking a free iPhone 14 from the government. So let's check out what's on offer by ACP-approved networks.
Free Government iPhone 14
Owning an Apple iPhone is everyone's dream and financially struggling people can get an iPhone through the ACP program. Some networks offer ACP-qualified customers to choose the device of their choice among the available handsets. Among the few such networks include AirTalk Wireless, and Excess Wireless Telecom. Most of the people who have opted for these networks are due to the guaranteed option to choose an iPhone but do these companies offer the latest iPhone models like iPhone 14, 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max? Can you even get an iPhone 15 Pro Max for free?
Let's check out the company's official website and the ACP page.
On visiting the AirTalk Wireless website, mentions the model and the maker of the device. When you apply for ACP with them, you have the option to choose among the iPhone models, and the following iPhone models are available with them right now -
- iPhone 6
- iPhone 6 Plus
- iPhone 6S
- iPhone 6S Plus
- iPhone 7
- iPhone 7 Plus
- iPhone 8
- iPhone 8 Plus
Not even the iPhone X, or iPhone XR or Xs are available.
On checking the Excess Telecom website, they don't have a specific page for the phones sold under the ACP program but they do offer iPhones.
Why not the iPhone 14?
Since iPhone 14, and Galaxy S23 are the latest smartphones that are generally priced well over $1000, they are not been sold under the ACP program right now.
Generally, the mobile phones sold under the ACP program are mid-range handsets and old-generation flagship phones like the iPhone 7/7 Plus/6S/ 6S Plus/6/ 6 Plus or Galaxy S10/S9/S8/S7.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max:
Holding an iPhone 14 Pro Max, the best of the 14 series is a dream of many. Still this model hasn't been spotted among users for the ACP scheme.
Wrapping it Up:
As we see there are iPhones available through the ACP program but the latest iPhone 14 is on sale through this. Free Government iPhone 14 may be a distant dream for now and by the time the latest flagship model gets old, the ACP program might be discontinued as it was only meant to provide benefits for those who were affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.
