SafeLink is a free cell phone service provided by the U.S. government to low-income families. The further under the poverty level the family is, the more minutes (up to 250 per month) the family receives. To become eligible for a SafeLink Wireless phone, the family can go online to the SafeLink Wireless website to fill out the enrollment forms. The application is reviewed and the family or individual is notified of eligibility. SafeLink Wireless is a subsidy of TracFone, and the SIM cards (registration cards located under the battery) are able to be switched from one phone to the next (as well as other SafeLink Wireless phones).
