MobileX Provides Free Wireless Service During SNAP Benefit Suspension

MobileX announced it will cover the cost of wireless service for customers who have lost access to federal food assistance as millions of Americans face the suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. The offer includes unlimited talk and text plus up to 2GB of data per month, which will be covered by MobileX for as long as SNAP benefits remain paused.

Peter Adderton, founder and CEO of MobileX, emphasized the company's commitment to supporting affected families. As one of the few independent wireless carriers remaining, we believe in doing right by people, not just profits. If someone loses their SNAP benefits, we'll cover a wireless plan for as long as their SNAP benefits are suspended. Connectivity isn't a luxury, it's how families reach employers, schools and loved ones. We're stepping up to make sure no one loses that lifeline because of government gridlock.

The initiative addresses a critical need for maintaining communication channels during periods of economic uncertainty. For families experiencing food assistance disruptions, reliable wireless service becomes essential for job searching, educational access, and maintaining family connections. The program recognizes that communication services represent a fundamental utility in modern society, particularly for vulnerable populations navigating challenging circumstances.

MobileX's customizable, personalized access model positions the company uniquely to address this need effectively. Customers can download the MobileX app, customize their own plan via the Build Your Own tab and pay only for the data they need, operating on one of the fastest 5G networks in America. The activation process requires no store visits or representative interactions, allowing customers to activate and start saving in minutes. Everyday options typically start as low as $3.48 per month, though the current offer waives these costs entirely for eligible participants.

New customers can activate service through multiple channels including the MobileX iOS/Android apps, mymobilex.com, Walmart.com or at more than 3,700 Walmart physical store locations. Participants have the option to activate a new number or maintain their current number by porting it into MobileX to receive the free service. Both new and existing customers can create a support ticket via the MobileX app or contact customer care to verify SNAP participation and receive free wireless service for the duration of the SNAP benefit disruption.

The program's structure excludes the $14.88 or $24.88 Unlimited plans for new customers, while existing MobileX customers will have their current plans covered during the SNAP benefit disruption period. This approach ensures that current subscribers maintain continuity of service without financial burden during the assistance program suspension.

This corporate response to government benefit suspensions demonstrates how private sector initiatives can help mitigate the impact of public policy changes on vulnerable populations. By ensuring continuous access to communication services, MobileX helps maintain essential connectivity for job searches, educational resources, healthcare access, and social support systems during periods of economic transition. The program represents a significant commitment to corporate social responsibility within the telecommunications industry, potentially setting a precedent for how companies can support communities during government assistance program disruptions.
