I have the oldest worst phone that safelink offers. My friend recently gave me her Samsung Galaxy S7 that she has paid off in full to her provider (cricket) when she upgraded. Since cricket is now owned by at&t, can I use this phone on my safelink account? I tried calling customer service and was told, in broken English, that they did not know, to look it up online, and that they would not send me a replacement phone even tho the phone I have now keeps turning itself off and randomly calling people when it’s not being used. Please help.
