Blue Jay Announces Exciting Changes to its Lifeline Service Offerings

CARROLLTON, Texas, Dec. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Jay Wireless is pleased to announce exciting changes to its Lifeline service offerings. On December 2, 2016, new rules to modernize the program and bring the Lifeline program into the 21^st century went into effect. Most significantly, these new rules adopted under the FCC's Lifeline Modernization Order, now make mobile broadband a Lifeline supported service. Lifeline supported broadband service will help bring high-speed internet access to millions of Americans who might not otherwise be able to afford it.   

Blue Jay has made extensive investments into improving its Lifeline service offerings throughout its service territory to ensure its customers benefit from the FCC's new rules. The Company now offers three no-cost Lifeline plans to its Lifeline customers in most states: 1) 500 voice minutes with unlimited texts, 2) 250 voice minutes, unlimited texts, and 500 MB of data, and 3) unlimited voice minutes and texts with 1 GB of data for tribal residents.  In addition, Blue Jay offers a variety of additional plan options and top-ups to give Lifeline customers the flexibility to create customer wireless service plans to meet their individual needs and budgets.

Melissa Slawson, Blue Jay Wireless General Counsel explains, "Blue Jay wireless supports the transition of the Lifeline program to include the provision of Broadband service.  Modernization of the program will help Lifeline-eligible households gain access to high-speed internet service to help bridge the digital divide and solve the homework gap."
