Quick answer

Can you get a free iPhone 12 from Gov iPhone?

Possibly, when you qualify and the current Gov iPhone promotion includes this model. Eligible customers can request a iPhone 12 while applying for Lifeline-supported wireless service. A $0 device is a provider promotion, so the exact model, condition, service area and inventory must be confirmed for the application.

Service eligibility and the iPhone 12 promotion are separate

Lifeline supports qualifying communications service. Gov iPhone controls the separate device promotion and has reported this model in current inventory. The exact condition and customer price still must be disclosed with the provider offer.

A $0 promotional price may apply when the current provider offer includes this model. Eligibility alone does not create a phone-price guarantee.

Can I get a free iPhone 12 through Lifeline?+

How does Lifeline eligibility relate to the iPhone 12?+

Lifeline eligibility applies to supported service. The iPhone 12 is a separate provider inventory and promotional decision, so eligibility does not guarantee a particular phone or customer price.

Does the iPhone 12 support 5G?+

Can I keep my phone number with a iPhone 12?+

You may be able to keep an active number when moving service. Keep the old line active until the number transfer is complete and have the current carrier account information and transfer PIN ready if requested.

What happens if the iPhone 12 is unavailable?+

Gov iPhone can review another current device option, a different iPhone family, an Android option, or a compatible bring-your-own-device path. The replacement choice should be confirmed before fulfillment.

Can I bring my own iPhone 12 instead?+
