In light of an expected reduction of funds of the Affordable Connectivity Program ("ACP"), enTouch Wireless has rolled out the FREE Bundled Broadband Plan to its Lifeline offerings as described below and on the attached spreadsheet. Minimum Service Standard Non-Tribal Broadband -Free -Plan: effective 2/8/2024 Lifeline Bundled Broadband Plan: This FREE plan offers 300 voice minutes, 300 text units, and 4.5GB of broadband data. "Lifeline Bundled Broadband Plan" is available to qualifying Post-ACP new enrollments for Lifeline-only services; and it is the 'default' Lifeline plan to which enTouch non-tribal post-ACP customers, who qualify for Lifeline, will revert to for Lifeline-only services. The Lifeline Bundled Broadband Plan is also the 'default' broadband plan to which enTouch customers who do not prepay for co-pay services will be automatically downgraded to the FREE "Lifeline Bundled Broadband Plan." Data is 4O/LTE based on network availability and device capability. Additional Voice minutes, Text units and Broadband data may be purchased from the Company by calling 866-488- 8719 or dialing 6 from your Lifeline phone. Customers provide their own device as this plan does not include a free device. Lifeline minutes, texts and data are automatically posted each month on the Lifeline customer's service date. There is no rollover of minutes, texts, or data, and any unused minutes, texts, or data will expire on the next month's monthly service date. Services are for personal use only.
