I was approved through SNAP. The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is light enough for my hands and video calls with my doctor are clear.

I paid the small copay and use the tablet for online classes. It is not a gaming tablet but works great for Google Classroom and Zoom.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite really free
If your household qualifies, your final price for the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite can be $0. Some providers charge a small copay, often around $10.01, plus any required taxes. Only one discounted device is allowed per eligible household.
How long does approval and shipping usually take
Many applications are reviewed within a few business days after you upload clear documents. Once you are approved and a device is assigned, shipping usually takes 3 to 7 business days depending on your state and carrier.
Is this the Wi Fi only model or LTE version
Inventory varies by provider. Some plans ship a Wi Fi only Galaxy Tab A7 Lite that uses your home internet. Others offer an LTE capable version that can connect to mobile data under the same discounted program. The application form shows which option is currently available in your area.
Can I use this tablet for online school and telehealth visits
Yes. Galaxy Tab A7 Lite can run common school platforms like Google Classroom, Zoom, and web based portals, as well as telehealth apps. Performance is designed for everyday tasks, video calls, and streaming, not for heavy 3D gaming.
Does the tablet come new, and is there a warranty
Devices are shipped new or like new depending on partner policy. Each tablet is tested before it leaves the warehouse. A limited warranty is provided by the manufacturer or provider. You will receive written terms with your device and can contact support if there is a defect.
What documents should I prepare before I apply
You should have a valid government ID, a recent proof of address, and one of the following. A benefit letter for Medicaid, SNAP, SSI, Veterans Pension, a qualifying tribal program, or a recent pay stub or tax return that proves your income is within the limits. Names and addresses should match on all documents.
Can I choose storage size or color for my Galaxy Tab A7 Lite
Choice is limited by what is available in your state. Most programs ship a 32 GB or 64 GB gray model. For extra space, you can add your own microSD card up to 1 TB. When your preferred color or configuration is not available, a similar Samsung tablet may be sent instead.
Is there any contract or early termination fee for this tablet
Most Lifeline style programs do not require long contracts but they do require that your service remains active and that you still qualify. If you stop using the service or no longer qualify, the discount can be removed and the line may be closed. You will see any specific terms on your application and welcome documents.
What if the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is out of stock when I am approved
When Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is not available, your provider may offer a similar Android tablet with equal or higher capabilities. Screen size, storage, and brand will be listed in your shipping confirmation. You can decide whether to accept the replacement model before it ships.
Important, only one discounted internet or device benefit is allowed per eligible household at a time. Models, pricing, and program rules can change when government guidance or provider agreements change.
