T-Mobile doesn’t have a general low-income home internet plan
T-Mobile does not currently advertise a dedicated income-qualified discount for its 5G Home Internet service.
Project 10Million is a separate program designed to provide eligible K-12 students with mobile internet access for schoolwork rather than a discount on household 5G Home Internet. T-Mobile also offers income-qualified Lifeline wireless service through its Assurance Wireless brand, but that program provides mobile phone and data service rather than home broadband.
Customers who want to reduce the cost of standard T-Mobile Home Internet can also check current discounts for bundling eligible voice and internet service. See every dedicated low-income program available in our low-income internet guide.
How do I sign up for T-Mobile low-income internet?

- Check Assurance Wireless if Lifeline applies. Qualifying low-income households can check whether Assurance Wireless Lifeline service is available in their area.
