I received a call from Safelink saying I needed to recertify. When I called them, I was told I didn't need to do it now, that I had until October to do it.

I called the technical support number and was told the original number I had already called and they couldn't tell me what the heck was going on or WHY I had received a call telling me to recertify. THEN to make it all BETTER (sic), I had purchase extra minutes when my son was in the hospital and they took my extra minutes and did not roll them over after 3 mos. I purchased these myself. It should not have affected rollover on minutes I had purchased myself.

They said it would affect the 250 minutes I got from them, not ones PURCHASED BY ME. So to say I'm unhappy with Safelink, is putting it mildly.

Monetary Loss: $20.

I gave up on the free phones years ago. None of them have consistent info on service or equipment and got screwed over so many times. Just pay for the minutes on a no contract prepaid phone and be done with it.

Don't reach out to SafeLink. They're useless. Reach out to their parent company's headquarters in FL (Tracfone).

I'm an 80 yr old veteran with cancer & other serious issues. On August 27, 2019 my phone service was terminated.

I live alone and I've been without phone service for a month. I've submitted my proof of eligibility twice via fax to (866) 902-****, and mailed copies directly to Safelink in Oregon. I have not received confirmation of receipt or restoration of service.

Their phone agents are difficult to understand and therefore communications is less than poor. This gov't sponsored program needs to be investigated by a congressional oversight committee.

I have been trying to recertify for 5 months! I get text saying to call and do it .

I call and end up on phone for 1 hour and 17 minutes. And guess what? Still no phone. You have to record voice and guess what?

Equipment don't work so we used a different number and different employee guess what? Still nothing. I gave up.

But I call at least once a month now to see if anything changes.... Nope.

We are done with Safelink. They should not b in business. You get no help from them.
