30. is it possible to get my text records mailed to my address or emailed to me? I want to read my sons texts. He is a minor. And I need to see who is bullying him. He has been getting harassed for over a year. Can you help me? I want all the text for this year 2017. From Jan.-May. Once I know who is doing it, I will contact the proper authorities for assistance in this matter. Thank You, D.H.R.

    • Hello, Denise. If the phone is in your son’s name, you can not get his private information. Why know sit down with him and discuss the matter with him and how you think you should handle the situation? I don’t believe free government phones keep a record of the text messages. But call and ask your provider to make sure.

31. My tracfone was stolen a year-and-a-half ago and I thought I had cancelled it.

    PLEASE RESPOND TO MY EMAIL

    • Hello, Dominique. If you lose you phone and not calls are made in a month the service is disconnected. So, perhaps you did not cancel your phone service and someone else is using your phone. Please immediately cancel your phone services. Once it is canceled, you should be able to renew your service. Please call you provider’s customer service to make sure your service is canceled. You will have to apply again and provide proof of eligibility.

Tiny phone, & not a flip phone.

    • Hello Dorothy, you can do everything to online. Go here to purchase a phone and activate and transfer service to your new phone.

46. OK I thought it was just massive stupidity on the part of the Safelink telephone reps, but how are you supposed to be able to give them the serial number for the missing phone if you don’t HAVE it because it’s lost or stolen?! I thought it was their lack of English comprehension but now I see it in print on this website too. Are you bloody well KIDDING me?!?! What the hell?! What part of IF IT’S MISSING I DON’T HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE THE DAMN PHONE IN FRONT OF ME YOU MORONS don’t you understand?!

    • Hello Penny. Try going on line to find what tracfone models phones are compatible with Safelink and purchase a new one. It is always a good idea to write done the serial number of you phone. The same way you do your credit or debit cards an major applicance such as TV, stero systems, etc. incase you have to report it lost or stolen.

    • When you receive you phone it comes with paperwork that has printed right on it “Keep this information….” Sadly, Penny, you really do have to read the instructions to get all the information you need. How stupid of them to expect you to read instruction! Right! 8-/

      Grow up and don’t blame Safelink for your lack of ability to follow instructions.

56. I am truly upset, for one, someone who makes NO EFFORT to work can get a free phone, let alone free text!!! Now I have a friend, who first never trys to work, does not qualify for disability, and now gets free internet and is playing on Facebook on average free govt phone!!! I worked all my life, had to come out on disability because if health issues. Barely make it on my check, yet I have to pay for my own food, phone and Dr bills! This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard of in my life!!!!!! You should all be ashamed of yourselves! Your helping lazy people just stay lazy!!!

    • Pam Carr, the Lifeline program helps many working and disabled people as well as low-income consumers who legitimately need help. I can not speak about your friends situation, however, because I do not know her.

    • Pamela Carr,

      What difference should it make to you? You are on disability and could be receiving the free cell phone and minutes if you filled out the forms and qualify. Some people you think are not really disabled may have something wrong with them that you can’t start to understand. Most of us DO need the help the government assistance program gives us. If you received it you wouldn’t be complaining, so why don’t you try to qualify? If you are drawing disability then I would think you qualify. If not, can’t you just be glad you get money and leave the rude remarks about us out because sometimes a disability is NOT recognizable to the eye. You mam are cruel to those of us that can’t help the way we are! We didn’t ask to be different or unable to do a lot of things normal people can do, but we’re haunted with that everyday and at no fault of our own! Grow up, get a life, quit downgrading others that do have mental or physical disabilities and work on yourself instead of criticizing others. You’d be a lot happier person!
