Free internet, computers, and digital skills classes.

How to get internet, a phone or a computer for less in AtlantaA short guide: who to call first and what to expect.

For free internet today, go to a library. Every branch has free Wi-Fi and computers, and staff can help you print, scan or fill out a form online. A library card is free. Ask your Fulton County Library System branch whether it lends Wi-Fi hotspots or laptops to take home.

For a phone, Lifeline is a federal program that takes $9.25 a month off a phone or internet bill if you get SNAP, Medicaid, SSI or a housing voucher. Companies such as Assurance Wireless use it to give a free phone plan. Each household can have only one Lifeline benefit. Sign up through one of the companies or at lifelinesupport.org.

For home internet, ask the internet company for its low-income plan. Comcast, AT&T and Spectrum each have one, usually $15 to $30 a month, for homes that get SNAP, Medicaid or free school lunch. The federal discount called ACP ended in 2024, so these plans are what is left.

For a computer, PCs for People, 404-369-7040, sells used, repaired computers at low prices to people with low income, and has low-cost internet too.

To learn, libraries and Inspiredu teach free classes that start from turning the computer on. Inspiredu also has open lab hours with free Wi-Fi and help. Cyber-Seniors, 844-217-3057, gives older adults free help by phone. See digital skills.

For a job in tech, Per Scholas Atlanta trains people for entry-level tech jobs at no cost.
