Once you're able to qualify and go through all of the verification you are then able to get your phone. It's easy to go through and all you need is get on the internet and your computer and go to the SafeLink website. One of the first things that you need to do is simply go to the website listed above. This is the website that's for the government service which is providing the free cell phones to those qualifying low income families and to those people that can't afford the cost of a contract. Through the Lifeline program you're able to receive not just the free cell phone but free cell service and free minutes each and every month. SafeLink wireless service doesn't cost you a single penny, there's no contract that you have to go through, no fees that are recurrent and no charges that you have to worry about each and every month.
