Talk, text, data, and cost
USAC describes Lifeline as a discount on eligible phone, internet, or bundled service. SafeLink may package eligible service at $0 in some areas. The amount of talk, text, and data is set by the current offer, not by this guide.
5G, hotspot, and Wi-Fi calling
These features depend on the plan, coverage, phone, and network settings. Use SafeLink's current offer and support tools to confirm each feature for your ZIP code and device.
Voicemail, international calls, and add-ons
The 611611 VOICEMAIL and ILD keywords provide feature information. Optional airtime or plans may cost extra. Review rates and terms before an add-on purchase.
Emergency calls and promotions
For emergency service, use 911 where available. A promotional device or third-party perk can change; verify the live SafeLink offer and its terms rather than relying on a static promise.
