I've heard of something similar for internet, but not for cell phone service. I could be wrong, but it's just that I've never read or seen anything relating to discounted cellular service only for lower income earners.

I have never heard or read about a mobile phone related program with Service Canada.

Service Canada phone numbers and websites are favourite targets for scammers to spoof. (Government Canada vs Third World Amateurs is apparently always a losing battle.)

if this subsidized phone/internet program is legit then Service Canada will be able to direct you to the correct offices and piles of paperwork.
