Lifeline Assistance

The low-income assistance offers two
programs.

The LinkUp America offsets
1/2 of the initial installation
fee to a qualifying applicant.

The Lifeline Assistance
Program provides a discount to low-income
subscribers on the monthly basic service
charge for dial tone. Within the boundaries of
the Flathead Indian Reservation, further dis-
counts apply for RTC's local service.

*You must notify Ronan Telephone Co.
if you are removed from the program.
