SafeLink Wireless, operated by Tracfone Wireless, provides free mobile services and devices to eligible low-income individuals. Funded by the federal Universal Service Fund and managed by the FCC, this program aims to help those who cannot afford regular phone plans. Qualification depends on income levels—specifically, household income below 135% of the federal poverty guidelines—or participation in government assistance programs like Medicaid, SNAP, or SSI. Additionally, residents in certain states and tribal communities may qualify if they meet specific criteria. This program provides free phones, monthly airtime, and data, with options to upgrade or add services through the SafeLink website.
