After submitting proof of Lincoln Public School enrollment and eligibility for the FCC Lifeline program to ALLO, ALLO’s $45 service will be discounted to $10 from the following funds: $5 discount from ALLO, $20.75 from the Nebraska Public Service Commission through the NUSF-92 Grant, and $9.25 from the FCC Lifeline program.
DISCLAIMER: Customers who are currently using the FCC Lifeline discount of $9.25 toward their home or cell phone will not receive an additional $9.25 discount.

TV service must be purchased at the standard price.
Non-customers who do not demonstrate eligibility for discounted ALLO service prior to installation will be billed $45.
