Can I apply for service if I don’t have an email?
To complete the Q Link Wireless Lifeline application online, you’ll need to have a working email account. If you do not currently have an email address, you can create one easily using any email platform. We suggest you create one with Outlook.com. Once the email account is created, visit www.qlinkwireless.com and sign up for your free phone service using your new email address.
Can I exit out of my application and resume working on it later?
Yes! You can close your browser and come back at any time to pick up where you left off. Just go to our homepage at www.qlinkwireless.com, and enter your email address and zip code to log back in.
Why do I get an error with “order cannot be modified” when I try to sign up?
You are getting this error message because you previously completed an application for Lifeline service through Q Link Wireless. Due to requirements of the Federal Lifeline program, we do not allow you to modify personal data that was already submitted into the system. If you would like to edit your information such as your email address, mailing address or phone number, please send us an email by clicking here. Make sure to provide your information just like it is on your Q Link account, and explain the issue clearly. It may take up to 72 hours for our Customer Support team to begin processing your request.
What is the household worksheet and where can I get one?
The Lifeline Household Worksheet helps determine if more than one person in your household receives Lifeline. You may be required to complete and submit this worksheet in order to sign up for the Lifeline program, or complete your Annual Recertification.

Why didn’t I receive my confirmation email?
Please make sure your confirmation email is not in your spam folder. If it is, you will have to move the email to your inbox and add Q Link Wireless to your address book. This is an important step to ensure you see and read all of our emails that contain order updates.
If you’re a Gmail subscriber, you may see the confirmation email in your “Promotions” folder instead of “Primary.” Please note that Gmail updated the organization of your accounts’ inbox folders. Instead of having only a primary inbox folder, Gmail now includes Primary, Social, and Promotions. To ensure you read all of Q Link Wireless’ emails, we ask to please mark Q Link Wireless as a primary sender. Here’s how you can do that:
- Find a Q Link Wireless email.
- Hold down the left clicker on your mouse on the email.
- Drag the email from the Promotions or Updates folder to the Primary folder’s tab until the email and the Primary folder tab turns light yellow and says “Move 1 conversation”. Release the mouse.
- Upon asking if you wish to mark future Q Link Wireless emails as Primary, click “Yes.”
What happens if I mark a Q Link Wireless email as spam or unsubscribe?
If you mark a Q Link Wireless email as spam or unsubscribe, two things may happen:
- You will not be able to sign up for your FREE phone service through Q Link Wireless. If you already applied, your account will be blocked.
- You will no longer receive Q Link Wireless emails, which include important information and updates about your account details.
Please contact us right away to remove the block on your account. You can send us an email by clicking here. Make sure to provide your information just like it is on your Q Link Wireless account, and explain the issue clearly. It may take up to 72 hours for our Customer Support team to begin processing your request.
