AirTalk Wireless, powered by AirVoice Wireless, has announced a $50,000 donation to DAV "Disabled American Veterans" to help strengthen communication access for veterans across the United States. The partnership aims to connect DAV’s nearly one million members with reliable wireless services that support their independence and well-being.
The contribution represents AirTalk Wireless’ first collaboration with DAV, a nonprofit founded in 1920 and chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1932 to assist veterans and their families in securing the benefits they have earned. The funds will be used to help veterans stay in touch with loved ones, access healthcare and employment resources, and remain engaged in their communities.
Connecting Those Who Served
Headquartered in Houston, Texas, AirTalk Wireless provides qualifying customers under the federal Lifeline program with free 4G LTE or 5G smartphones — including Apple and Samsung devices among others — or SIM cards, along with free monthly service that includes data, unlimited talk and text, and international calling to more than 200 countries and territories.
The company’s latest partnership with DAV aligns with its ongoing mission to bridge the digital divide and make essential communication tools accessible to underserved communities, including veterans, seniors, and low-income families.
Henry Do, chief executive officer of AirTalk Wireless, shared:
“At AirTalk, we take great pride in serving over one million subscribers by helping to bridge the digital divide. For many, connectivity is more than just a convenience — it’s a lifeline to education, healthcare, employment, and loved ones. We’re honored to partner with DAV to extend this support to veterans who have served our nation.”
Supporting Lifeline Access for Veterans
Veterans who qualify for the federal Lifeline program through an authorized provider like AirTalk Wireless can receive a free smartphone with monthly data, unlimited calls and texts, free international calling, all without contracts or hidden fees.
Eligibility typically includes having a low income or participation in federal assistance programs such as Veterans Pension, Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
DAV CEO and National Adjutant Barry Jesinoski said the collaboration would make a meaningful impact for veterans nationwide: “We are excited for this partnership with AirTalk and look forward to helping even more veterans access the care they deserve. AirTalk helps veterans stay connected to their communities and care providers, no matter their financial situation.”
Bridging the Digital Divide
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to narrowing communication gaps for underserved Americans. AirTalk Wireless, established in 1999 by AirVoice Wireless, offers government-supported phone and broadband services through programs such as Lifeline, which was created by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1985 to make essential telecommunications more affordable for low-income households.
Through Lifeline, eligible consumers receive monthly discounts on phone or internet service to maintain access to vital resources, including healthcare, education, and emergency services.
Each qualifying household may receive one non-transferable benefit which ensures unbiased distribution and continued access to communication.
