Bridging the Gap Internet Offer

Where do I get Internet?

Through Bridging the Gap we offer unlimited 4G LTE service. New Customer signup is now available.

How do I apply?

New clients: If you choose to order internet service or a computer with a Microsoft product installed, PCs for People must verify you meet the stated eligibility requirements. The application will automatically be displayed when required. Just add the desired item(s) to your cart and proceed to checkout.

For returning customers: If you buy a plan that stretches past one year since you have provided PCs for People proof of eligibility, you will need to again provide required documentation (prior to renewing) to establish you are still eligible to receive internet service through this program. If you are purchasing time online you will be prompted for new proof when required.

Online orders will require an image or PDF upload of your proof of eligibility document. For phone orders, this proof can be emailed to internet@pcsforpeople.com, faxed to 651-666-1045 or mailed to our office.

Initial Pricing

To get started you will need a 4G LTE modem and a prepaid Internet subscription. Subscriptions are $15.00 per month and can be purchased in 1, 3, 6 and 12 month increments.

Can I bring my own modem?

No. Unfortunately, Mobile Beacon’s activation process does not currently allow users to supply their own device. We will provide updates if the current process changes.

How are you able to offer $15 per month unlimited mobile internet access?

We have a unique partnership with Mobile Beacon that allows us to extend their pricing for Unlimited 4G LTE to schools, nonprofits and certain low income individuals who meet our eligibility requirements. Anyone who purchases the service must provide proof of eligibility and we will routinely validate users’ ongoing eligibility to continue to receive Mobile Beacon’s service.

Modem Return Policy

Items must be returned within 7 days from the date the device is received.

Subscription Refund Policy

Internet subscriptions may be refunded for any unused months remaining on your current subscription term.

Mobile Beacon currently provides a 60-day hardware warranty through the network provider and a 6 month limited warranty is provided by the device manufacturer. PCs for People provides device support, but does not provide warranty replacement for internet devices.

Renewing Subscriptions

Before your initial internet subscription expires, you will need to purchase a new subscription to keep your internet service active. Internet subscriptions start at $15.00 per month and can be purchased in 1, 3, 6 and 12 month increments.
