Discounted telephone service for qualifying low-income households

Blue Casa is certified by the California Public Utilities Commission to provide LifeLine Telephone Service to our customers. We have the knowledge and trained friendly staff to help you navigate the application process.

We make it easy for you

First, we will walk you through the qualification process and easily help you figure out whether you qualify for the LifeLine discount. If you do, we’ll begin the enrollment process immediately.

Within two to three weeks, you will receive a pink envelope containing an enrollment form. To receive your LifeLine discounts you must complete the form, sign it, and return it along with any required income documentation by the due date. Otherwise you will be disqualified and will not receive any lifeline discounts.
