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 :)

It's possible that they may allow it in the future, but for now only MetroPCS customers seem to qualify for ACP. They even recently launched home internet on February 24th, 2022 and the gateway is $99.99 (Arcadyan model) without a credit check.
If you apply the $30 discount, the service would be cheaper; a phone line is required unfortunately for you to be able to obtain home internet service with MetroPCS.
