"The digital divide not only persists, but was exacerbated by the pandemic, and continues to impact those hit hardest by the current inflationary environment," stated Doug Lodder, president of TruConnect. "TruConnect has been on the front lines of digital equity since 2010 and our sole focus has always been building solutions designed for those most in need. Truly Unlimited is another example of how we're putting technology into the hands of those individuals and connecting them to opportunity."

Truly Unlimited customers can choose to bring their own device, get a free smartphone, or purchase a tablet for $10.01.
Consumers who qualify for Truly Unlimited include those:
