Last verified: · by Arif

Yes, SafeLink Wireless is legit — an authorized Lifeline carrier (ETC) in the states it serves. Legitimate Lifeline providers never charge an application fee; anyone asking for money, gift cards or your card number is a scammer.

SafeLink (TracFone/Verizon) is the only major Lifeline brand available in all 50 states, shipping a free Android smartphone or free SIM for your own phone with monthly data.
