Pioneer Telephone and Pioneer Cellular would like to advise customers and potential customers of programs available for those needing assistance in paying their local telephone or cellular bill.
Access to local emergency services and community resources is vital to low-income and elderly residents, and Pioneer would like to offer assistance in “staying connected”. During “Lifeline Awareness Week”, (Sept. 14th – 20th), Pioneer is reaching out to those in need of telephone service who cannot afford it. Lifeline and Link-Up Assistance Programs offer discounts to help customers obtain access to telephone service, either landline or cellular, (one per household).
Under the federal Lifeline program, telephone customers who participate in, or are eligible for, certain public assistance programs are entitled to receive a basic telephone service discount of at least $10 per month. The Federal Link-Up America Program provides a 50% reduction in the telephone service installation charge, up to a maximum of $30, for qualifying households who currently do not have telephone service.
For more information or to apply for benefits, please contact your local Pioneer Telephone Business Office at 1.888.782.2667 or by dialing 611 from your home phone. You may also call a Pioneer Cellular Business Office at 1.800.641.2732 or visit our Web site, www.WirelessPioneer.Com
