- Is It Legit?
Yes, AirTalk Wireless is legit — an authorized Lifeline carrier (ETC) in the states it serves. Legitimate Lifeline providers never charge an application fee; anyone asking for money, gift cards or your card number is a scammer.
AirTalk Wireless is the provider most associated with free government iPhones: refurbished models under Lifeline, with the exact model depending on inventory and ZIP, and co-pays on newer devices.

|---|---|---|---|
