Penny, I think that you may be able to get both. Is Safelink the same as Lifeline? I think so. My uncle received Safelink. Here is the info from the FCC so it is official.itspennyc wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 11:57 am I slept until 7:33 this morning, but I am having trouble getting going.
My garbage and trash is gathered and out.
I want to take advantage of the Affordable connectivity program, but at the same time I don’t want to lose my SafeLink phone service. Though I bet the dollar amounts are close to the same if not better for the phone. I used to buy a card for unlimited minutes and 5mb of data. During the pandemic emergency I haven’t had to. So I am not sure. I only have the one phone.
I spent the morning looking for some information, I finally found it after 1 1/2 hours of looking. It had slipped under a bin in the cabinet where I keep it.
That took most of my morning. I need to find out more before I do anything.
All the information I have seen is more than the phone would cost me even when I have to buy minutes again.
So right now it look like if I can have phone from SafeLink or a discount on my Internet I will take SafeLink.
