SafeLink Wireless is proud to offer LifeLine service, a program that enables qualifying customers to receive discounts on monthly telephone service. In our version of the program, you will receive free cellular service, a SIM card, and the assurance that you will get no bills and no contracts EVER!

In many cases, SafeLink might provide a basic Android smartphone capable of calling, texting, and using standard apps. The exact specifications might not be very high-end, as the purpose of the program is to ensure essential communication needs rather than provide the latest technology.

SafeLink Wireless is a government-supported program that provides free cell phone service to eligible low-income households. The program is offered through a partnership between the government and TracFone Wireless, which uses the Verizon network to provide coverage to its customers.

Instead of receiving a monthly telephone bill for Lifeline service, SafeLink converts the total amount of discounted service into minutes each month for one year. The cell phone offers in-demand features: voicemail, text, three-way calling, call waiting, caller ID and access to 911.

Your phone requires a SIM card. SafeLink has traditional, Micro, and Nano SIM cards.

Verizon said this week it will offer free unlimited service – data, calling and texting – on its new SafeLink Wireless brand, which it acquired through its $7 billion purchase of prepaid giant TracFone in 2021.

How does SafeLink provide free service? SafeLink is proud to work directly with Lifeline and the Affordable Connectivity Program. These federal assistance programs were created to ensure qualifying households stay connected by covering the cost of cellular service.

Also known as a bring your own phone (BYOP) kit, this activation kit allows you to convert your current compatible or unlocked phone into a Safelink phone. This kit is compatible with T-Mobile phones with micro, standard, or Nano sim cards.

Locate the SIM card slot on the left edge of your phone. Note: You will need the SIM ejection tool that came with your phone.

There is no additional charge for nationwide long distance. You will receive 350 free nationwide airtime minutes and 4.5GB of data each month, as well as unlimited text messaging. Unused minutes will not automatically carry over to the next month.

Eligible SafeLink customers can now receive free monthly benefits through the ACP program while keeping their device and number. With Unlimited Data, Talk, Text, and up to 10GB of Hotspot Data**, you can stay connected to loved ones, virtual classrooms, and video conferences.
