Looking for Safelink compatible phones?  We can help!  We often receive letters from readers looking to upgrade their cell phones.  Safelink is a government benefits program, helping low-income consumers with free and affordable phone service.  When you qualify, you can receive a free residential phone service or a cell phone plan.

Many people keep the same phone they initially received when they joined the free government phone program and others want to update to a more modern phone, with more features, such as a smartphone.  Most customer service representatives are very good at giving you the right information.

Lost Phone?  What to do Next

Ok, you lost your phone, now what?  The first step is to notify your provided you have lost your phone so they can disconnect service to prevent the phone from being used by someone else.  Next, they will issue you a new phone number and transfer and remaining minutes you had left on your phone.

You will receive a new refurbished phone at no cost to you.  You can also purchase a new SIM card so you can transfer all your phone numbers and other information to your new phone.

Always double-check this information for yourself.  This will save you the frustration of having to return the cell phone.   If you need further help, please contact Safelink Technical Assistance – 1-800-378-1684.
