ACP Program

Why isn’t T-Mobile participating in ACP?  T-Mobile was participating in the EBB program why not the new ACP program (Affordable Connectivity Program). I do not want to switch my account to Metro or Assurance Wireless to get the ACP program. I have T-Mobile Home Internet.

    • PolarSkizo thanks for the info. But I only pay $50 with T-mobile now and it would cost me more to go with MetroPCS at $55 plus the cost of a phone line that is required. I am guessing it would cost me a total of about $90 to $100 to go with MetroPCS and the $30 off for using ACP and I am still going pay more than the $50 with T-mobile.

    • Anyway, thanks again for your help & info.

    From what I was told, by the District manager at my (former job) Metro store in San Diego, he said the cost of the internet would be $20 with Autopay + ACP; the cheapest phone plan, unfortunately will likely be $40 a month for 10GB of data unless a rep is able to swing you their old legacy plan that was $40 for Unlimited Talk, text, data (no hotspot, Google one or Amazon Prime) bringing the cost close to $80-90 a month but for that legacy plan, they'll need to call MetroDSG.

     

    If you still prefer to stay with T-Mobile, that's okay. The $50 plan is a little pricey but no voice lines are required and there's a lot of companies now that operate under the T-Mobile network which offer Multi Month discounts (Mint Mobile, for example) or another carrier that is forced to offer you lifeline benefits/discounts is TracFone, now owned by Verizon but still obligated to operate under T-Mobile and AT&T service (for the time being as well.)

     

    Best of luck my friend :)
