Verizon Wireless has unveiled its new Forward Program, which aims to give qualified customers access to its network at no cost. This is especially helpful to households who qualify for the FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
“Digital inclusion is not just nice to have, but a necessity. It is critical that we offer accessible, affordable and usable digital solutions. Income should not be a barrier for reliable connectivity, which is why it’s so important that we provide free Verizon Home Internet to ACP-qualifying customers across the country. Through programs like ACP and the Verizon Forward Program, we’re putting the power of technology in the hands of more families across the country and continuing the important work to achieve universal digital inclusion.”
Starting this week, select 5G Home and LTE Home Internet plans will be brought on board the Forward Program. Before you can be added to the Verizon Forward Program and Fios Forward, you will need to be eligible for ACP. Once your eligibility has been approved, you will need to complete your enrollment on this website.
This will allow you to enjoy the following benefits:
Get up to $500 when you switch to Verizon to help cover early termination fees
ACP does not have a set expiration. If the program ends, the FCC will notify carriers and the public at least 60 days before the final service month of ACP subsidy
The ACP subsidy can be transferred to another provider at any time
If you move, the subsidy will fall off your account, so you’ll have to re-enroll
