Ha gil, I did the same thing, except I went to SurgePays.com/Products/SurgePhone.
Asked the chat box if I have to fill all this out and how it works. Response I got:
"Allow me to explain how this benefit works; upon approval, you will get a free Sim card where you will receive your monthly mobile data plan of 5 GB at no cost whatsoever. If you are eligible and choose to upgrade your benefit, you can receive an 8 inch tablet valued at $129 for only $11. This (one-time payment) can be processed using a credit, debit or Pre-paid card."
I then asked if I had to do any follow-up paperwork with the govt or do they just reimburse you directly. She responded that they get reimbursed directly and there's no further paperwork for me to do.
-As you're probably aware, but others may not be, almost every cable and internet provider offers the ACP service, some push it more than others. If SURG is really doing this and getting these users, it seems that they are just catching people at the right time at these pop-up tents or convenience stores. My local cable provider periodically sends out mailers with "you may qualify for free internet service." I've gotten several of them and was already aware of ACP. Type in nearly any internet provider and ACP, and you'll see they all offer it. That again is why I question a little bit if SURG is really getting all these users. It could all be true, but seems sort of odd that people haven't already been contacted about it. Could just be that potential users trust their point-of-sale guy at the convenience store, and maybe it takes multiple contacts with the user before he signs up. But it might also be some shady sign-ups.
Yeah, couldn't agree more on, "The entire country is a hot mess of graft, laziness, and totalitarian ideology rebranded as safety and freedom." That's sort of how I feel about this company. Am I contributing to the delinquency of someone by helping them get on even MORE govt benefits, and actually fueling the demise of capitalism and the individual work ethic? Icky.
Even if one does choose to buy, it's a hold-your-nose while you buy sort of a thing.
