5G, 4G LTE and Wi-Fi

Where 5G is available, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 connect at 5G speeds. Other devices use 4G LTE. Wi-Fi calling and data use home networks when you are connected. Learn more on the free 5G phone page.

Rural and Tribal lands

Residents of qualifying Tribal lands can receive an enhanced Lifeline benefit of up to $34.25 a month. Coverage in rural areas varies by location, so ask our team to check your address area.

If coverage is weak

Move closer to a window, turn on Wi-Fi calling, or call technical support on 1-800-177-8829. See contact options.
