Safelink Promo Codes (Tracfone Promo Codes)

If you have a Safelink Wireless phone, you can often receive a discount on your purchases of minutes. The codes are actually more specifically Tracfone promo codes, because Safelink Wireless is a subsidiary of Tracfone and distributes Tracfone cell phones. Give these Tracfone promo codes a try, to obtain extra minutes of airtime at a discount price. We say give them a try, because they do expire so some could be invalid.

You must enter the tracfone promo code properly to avoid not being able to take advantage of it. The important thing is to enter the promo code at the same time that you first enter the PIN. You must enter the code immediately after the PIN, with no spaces. Same thing if you are entering the PIN on the website — enter the code on the first go-around.

Note: Please use the comments section below to let us know if the codes still work, and if you know of any others.

      • Try again, Arlene. You have a couple options: (1) You can request a free replacement phone from your current service provider. They will probably require you to make a reasonably small payment, but all service providers offer replacement phones. (2) You may be able to purchase the phone of y our choice and use it with your current service provider, but BEFORE you purchase anything, confirm with your service provider’s customer service team that the specific make and model you want to purchase is compatible with that service provider’s national cell network. (3) Switch service providers. The new provider will consider you to be a new customer and will give you a free smart phone.

  7. These are not “free minutes” these are just promo codes for when you BUY minutes to get extra ones. Waste of time. I don’t know why this is even coming up so high in Google search because this is old and outdated and not what it says it is.

  8. I have 4000 minutes on my phone but I cannot make any calls because it tells me there is not enough money on my account. This started this yr and I had to buy airtime and I did not have time to be messing with it. As long as I have had a Safeline phone with free 300/500 minutes I have never had to buy time. I cannot make any calls and text messaging does not work. Can you tell me how to get my free minutes back I cannot afford to buy minutes every month.

    • We have not heard of any plans that offer additional minutes due to the emergency situation in Puerto Rico (nor Florida nor Texas, for that matter), but it’s a damn good question. We would suggest that you call your provider’s customer service team to ask that very interesting question. Good luck. And please let us know what you find out.

  24. I have a masturbation and phone sex addiction. Due to this disorder I’m unable to work, therefore, I’m eligible for a free safelink account. Don’t judge me. My problem is this. I have been getting 400 minutes and unlimited text messages monthly. Needless to say with my masturbation and phone sex addiction it’s hard for me to maintain and manage my minutes and I usually go thru my 400 allotted minutes within 48-72 hours. Today, I went into a local convinience store called Dodge’s and relapsed, as usual, (trying to beat this addiction is hard folks) by calling a party line and having phone sex in the stall in the bathroom. I used my last 2 minutes to climax with another party line caller. I’m really trying to beat this addiction. I don’t have much money but I decided to buy some extra minutes at Dodges so I could go a second round on the party line. Needless to say the minutes are expensive and I’m very poor because I’m on a fixed income due to my addiction and I can’t work. I recently saw that you can get unlimited talk, text, and some data for 15.00 a month. That is exactly what I need, however, it’s not what my addiction needs. I asked the cashier did they have the 15.00 unlimited card and she stated that she could ring up any of the amounts on the card. She also told me the lowest was $19.99 on that tracfone card and I had to pay that but she stated that it would be unlimited if unlimited was $15.00 per month. I made the purchase which was $23.01 with taxes. I then went into the bathroom to feed my addiction once again and entered the 15 digit PIN number. Once I entered it in my device, it processed 60 minutes but on my home screen it said 200. I’ve never had the unlimited plan before and thought this was normal. Once I finished on the party line the second time it said that I had 92 minutes remaining (yes it takes that long to find a willing phone sex partner, which is another problem in this damn country, I shouldn’t have to wait all day on the chat line to find a willing participant, and if Trump wants to MAGA, he should regulate the party lines to kick a person off if they are on there playing games or wasting others time with fake and obnoxious climax sounds, but let’s stick to the main issue). I assumed that this was normal. However, when I went home and called the party line a few more times that day I finally reached zero remaining minutes and I could no longer make or receive calls. I’m desperate right now and I have no money at all until the first of the month. The cashier gave me the wrong information about the minute card. In fact I found out that you can do that online, by phone, or by purchasing a “safelink” reload card not a tracfone reload card. My question is if I call safelink and explain that the person who sold me the card gave me the wrong information, would they be able to convert that purchase to an unlimited plan? I have no idea what I’m going to do. I have not been able to access the party line in over 19 grueling hours. Im going crazy and am in FULL withdrawal. Someone, please, help! This is a VERY serious situation. I have no money and I can’t possibly wait until May 31 and get my pending next month minutes. Do you think a representative at safelink can help me? I’m sitting here in FULL withdrawal right now waiting for the customer service department to open in the morning. Can someone tell me what to expect. PLEASE! Does anyone know a way that I can use the wifi in my building to be able to call party lines. I’ve downloaded several apps but when I dial any party line number it won’t go thru, however, I can call other numbers. Is there a reason why the free phone apps are not allowing the citizens of this country to dial party lines on these free apps. This is America and I pay taxes, just like the extra $3.02 I had to pay to purchase the $19.99 minute card. I shouldn’t have to deal with BS like this. And the Dodge store manager told me after setting up a meeting with the general manager, that their phone cards are non refundable. What do you mean non-refundable? I purchased it, your worker screwed up, I should get my $23.01 back PRONTO!!! I feel like this country is going to hell with gasoline panties on. I mean really, non-refundable? Who ever heard of such. Any help with this trying time in my life would be appreciated because right now my life is in shambles. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

      Regarding the independent contractor, most of the free government cell phone companies do not hire their street vendors directly. They go through other companies who hire the independent contractors. The only place we are aware of to find those jobs is Craig’s List. Give it a try.

  51. OK I HAVE A QUESTION…
    I was sent a free tracfone and on it was supposed to be 350 minutes and free text messenging. Well, it only came with minutes and no text messaging. Every time that I get or send a message it take .30 seconds away from the minutes and now I am out of minutes and cant buy anymore. I have been looking for “promo codes” for the minutes that are free but It tells you that you can use them ONLY when you purchase the minutes card… Well, the whole point of the phone being free and sent to me is so that you don’t have to buy minutes and messages. Also, It tells me that I have to call customer service to be able to ask anything about changing the plan but that the 1-800 number will in fact cost me the minutes and to use a land line and I do not have another phone that I can call from…
    WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO??? IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS THIS SAME ISSUE??!!

    Reply

    • This is actually a rather common complaint, Claudia. It seems like a real flaw in the system that most companies charge their customers for making 800 calls to customer service. Safelink does not offer an email contact form on its website, so the only solution we can think of is to ask a friend if you can use their landline phone. Good luck.

    • Most companies say two weeks, but many of our readers have complained that it takes much longer. Good luck.

    • We assume you meant 200 minutes per month because there are no free government cell phone companies or plans that offer just 20 minutes per month.

  72. I have been a subscrber to Reach Out America for a number of years , and I received a text message that
    I no longer will have this service as Safe Link has taken it over as of April 21 . I called the number that
    was given to me and made the tansaction but was not able to receive a code number that is required
    when I make out a Money Gram to gain extra minutes , How do I get this code Number ?

    • Your best bet is to contact Safelink customer service by phone or online. You can find Safelink’s contact info by clicking on the “Providers” link at the top of this page, then scrolling down until you find the Safelink listing. Click on that listing. You’ll find Safelink’s contact info near the bottom of the article.

    • Find your free government cell phone provider by clicking on the “Providers” link at the top of this page. Scroll down until you find your provider, then click on it. That will take you to a page on which you’ll find the company’s contact info. Call its customer service team to resolve your issue.

  76. TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE ONE OF THOSE “FREE GOVERNMENT PHONES”…….WHICH HAS TURNED OUT TO BE NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE, WHY HAVEN’T YOU CONTACTED YOUR DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, STATE SENATORS, PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION? THAT IS WHY YOU VOTE, BECAUSE YOU CAN HAVE YOUR SENATOR ASSIGN A “CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION NUMBER” TO YOUR CASE, AFTER ALL, THIS IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ISSUING THE FOOD STAMPS THAT MAKES YOU QUALIFIED TO RECEIVE THIS PHONE. TAKE MY SUGGESTION AND FIND OUT WHO YOUR SENATOR IS AND SEND THEM YOUR SITUATION. I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE V.A. DENYING MY DISABILITY AND I SENT MY PACKET TO MY STATE SENATOR DIANE FEINSTEIN, AND SHE ASSIGNED A CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION NUMBER AND I GOT APPROVED!!!!!!!!

    • Joan the suggestions you have posted are good ones.The biggest problem is trying to get a safe link rep that speaks english and using minutes on phone when the wait time is so long.I use my daughters land line to make my calls to them and have gotten decent service.
      There are other qualifications that one meets to get the safe link phone and I qualified because I have retired and receive SOCIAL Security benefits
      I also know you can upgrade your tracphone to abetter one very reasonable and have found great deals at Kroger and WALGREENS FOR $9.99 REGULAR PRICE WHEN NOT ON SALE ARE $49-$99 DOLLARS..

    • Looks as though you are doing a great job on sitting on your A** by degrading people you know nothing about or their circumstances.I pray your heart will not be so dark
      Trolling this site means one thing and that would be you have too much time on your hands and need a life.

      • I agree gloria. This person obviously has way to much time on his hands. We complain because it is something that we deserve and it should work the way it is said to work. Job’s are not easy to come by as Matt should know otherwise he would be working instead of stalking this page and talking BS. Some people have retired, other’s are disabled and this is a means to call Doctor’s etc. that people need to call. I don’t agree with what Matt has said at all. These people are not considered welfare people Matt, get your facts straight before you start degrading anybody.

        You make a great point gloria and I am with you on this matter.

      • Matt,
        I am a 25 year old white female. I have a job working at a saw mill. I have a “welfare phone” as you would call it because I have a medical card. I work 40 hours a week doing a mans job with logs that weigh 30- 60 lbs. Please tell me Matt how I am to “Go get a job and help America be great.” Or even “go be productive”. To me it looks like you’re the one needing to “be productive” and “get a job and help America be great”!

        Reply

    • Matt,

      You are obviously young. Only someone who has not lived much life, can state something as ignorant as you have. If you are not young in age, then you are in mind. That would be very sad because it would mean that you have lived to middle age and have gained no knowledge about life. I hope you never find yourself unemployed for a long period or physically disabled and unable to work. Both circumstances can become your reality in a matter of minutes. You will be HAPPY for a Welfare program of any type to help you feed, cloth, and shelter yourself and family until circumstances change in your favor. So instead of trolling sites and leaving ignorant messages, I suggest that you get off your A** and become a more productive person in mind and spirit. Only then…. Can America Be Great.

        • Putting it on the Internet to be viewed by hackers is not any safer. When I called I only had to give the last four digits of my card, the expiration date, and security code. They already had everything else since I have bought minutes on the Internet before. Bottom line, they already have your info and wether on the phone or Internet your card can be hacked at anytime. Kind of betting you don’t have thousands of dollars to be stolen in the first place considering where we are posting.

  114. I just received recently my free government phone with safelink wireless Joshua Barnes at Walmart in August 2015 the end of the month. I did not receive a motorola but an alcatel. I had 343 minutes left October 30 2015 and could not use the minutes the phone would not work was deactivated. I was teed off after dealing with straighttalk tracfone over a year services being cut off also numbers changed without my consent and this had went on since September of 2014. I had been not a valued customer with straighttalk tracfone over many years and many call ins since September of 2014 when I sent a very expensive smartphone ordered over the internet was a straighttalk smartphone samsung s3 was having some issues where the phone would dial a number without even touchong it. As I was at Verizon Mr.Matt was the rep that was assisting me and that is when it happened. The phone was sitting on the table and we both could not believe it. I sent the phone as straighttalk instructed me to libertyville,Ilinois. I also placed in the box all the service cards I had placed on the phone and a two page letter I have a copy of asking them to please compensate me upon my loss and also to make sure a qualoty phone of the same or of equal value comes back. I received my replacement phone it took weeks. I had to go to anoyher carrier in between to have phone service. Actually it took a couple of months to be exact. My samsung s3 now sells for $340.00 in Walmart. But what did I get in replacement!! Man oh man I could not believe a $29.00 zte majesty refurbished. It gave me nothing but problems and even had gotten a virus on it once I called the 1-877-430-2355 the ☆611 where the customer service trainees are and they sent me a text for promotions coupons and to enter your email and phone number. I did trying to trust tracfone straighttalk and zap all my info stolen. No coupons no promos even after I had referred friends in the past. All it was tappin.com and reserve plan. I could never go on reserve plan due to my phones had been cut off numerous times with service cards added also credit cards. What to do? I lost alot of money over $1000.00 dollars and alot of incoming/ outgoing calls. No-one can hear me most of the time on also this samsung galxy core prime either also. My phone number even was changed to a 1-800 # can you believe that? I lost my pcp due to she tried reaching me over several times and told me if I do noy answer my phone then she will have to end our relationship. My phone number changed so many times I could not keep up with them. I had to call verizon so many times and get connected to straighttalk. I think I know everyone just about internationally esp. In the phillipines. Cebu,Manilla,Dumagetti,Bacolud Columbia keeps calling me and nothing but sitting over in the right hand side of my house a big box of transaction numbers ticket numbers interaction numbers documentation numbers compensations were given but how could I use them when they cut my service off multiple times??!! Now who controls this? These trainees and I have had to train them myself and cannot tell you even a manager asked me how to do factory data wipe which I had to backup and reset over 50 times or more !!!!!! It is not straighttalk but stresstalk. We are just the last 4 digits of our phone numbers and they are a name. It seems like after all these years we would be addressed by our name at least. They ask me if I am calling about the number that ends in so and so last 4digits. I tell them no I am calling about the person and their services also promises that they made and did not even have all information in their system that they have me keeping track of also I had become physically ill from the stress that straighttalk had done me on the phone with them troubleshooting becaise I had two cellphone accpunts with them and neither one was working also google was having alot of problems they told me of many call ins. They manage the googleplay. I kept getting the message google core has stopped working making my phone a mess could not use it nor had been able to recooperate my fb accounts due to my phone numbers changed so many times even my family stopped calling they could not keep up with my numbers. I told them when they asked me now which number do you have because I have several or more numbers on you. I told them it is not my fault it is tracfone straighttalk. I did manage to retrieve back my old number that they told me was not available and I got furious and had called my old number and main number and it was available but I lost alot of incoming calls and very i.portant matters. Now even emails lost. Google gapps etc. has been acting up also. They tell me it is google not them but it is their system works and we should be provided with quality services and I see I am not a valued customer at all afterall. So with this a lesson learn. My 343 minutes were promised to be added to my governmental free phone I activated at Walmart just in Aug. Of this year2015. I was in ghe hospital al.ost a month. I Did use the free phone alcatel within that time period a few times and bad the 343 minutes was going to call my family in a state over due to my straighttalk phones were not reliable but had no way the phone would not work. Then they are taking out lufeline services on me without me even having a phone that works??!! That is stealing from the government fcc and I am pissed!!! Not only did they steal from me all my services and a very expensive phone with my straighttalk services but now with a free government phone. Cannot believe this. My sim card on my tracfone free phone says unregistered sim after I called one safelink customer service and rechnical support. What a mess!!! I am si stupid to be promoting all and even getting the ones raises with their supervisors and what do I get?? Nothing not even a gift card sent to me for all. I do gave a claim number and a case number. I got a call from Columbia today about my safelink phone. They tried to service it but I already was told a new sim card was to be sent with my 500 fee minutes also my remaining minutes of the 343 I lost would be added to November’s minutes. Now this Edgar from Columbia called me today 11-4-2015 is telling me tgat won”t happen. I will only get my minutes for the month. Who to believe these days. Justice has to be made and weather thet have the ticket numbers etc. too bad cause I do also a claim number to the liragation upon our 5,0being cut back last year under analytics. I do not care if I did not send mine in time due to straighttalk tracfone safelink made me sick more then i can tell you. I am going to get my minutes and more added on to my safelink also my money back from straighttalk/ tracfone international contrlling all corporate office in miami,florida ti whom i did get to speak with pearline graham and Mr.Al who told me they do not sell samsung due to they hacked alot of people last year. Well my zte got hacked.

    • Susan posting your problems on this site is good for starters. It gives the rest of the public a “Heads Up” on these types of misgivings with the companies involved ; and maybe a solution to your problem.
      But since this site does not clue in a lot of the public that doesn’t find this website, you might also copy and paste it to other websites that are pertinent to Tracfone , Walmart, Straighttalk and any-other companies involved in your situation.
      One way to find these websites is by doing the following . Type in Tracfone,Walmart, or Straighttalk plus(+) complaints and hit the search button .Such as “Straighttalk complaints” this will bring up sites where you can copy & paste your complaints on.
      If this doesn’t get the companies involved attention it will cost them some money in lost revenue and save tons of people, the same kind problems and money too!

    • You have to buy a feature phone, not smartphone, that you like, and call the Tracfone tech support number. I just bought an LG305C using Verizon towers, there is a T-Mobile version called the LG306G. Wait until you get a Human and they can help you swap your account over. You may have to call several times like I did, yesterday, before your account and your minutes are transferred over. You need a landline or a friend’s cellphone to call since you can’t use the phones involved in the swap or upgrade during the process.

When I looked further down I found that the seventh code in the list is identical and does say it’s for 50 bonus mins on a 200 min card. I called Tracfone and when I told them the promo code # it showed to be a 50 bonus min code. Just an FYI to this web site and its users.

  166. I just purchased a 120 minute card online, with the promotion code: 79679, and added an extra 60 minutes for $10. They gave me 380 bonus minutes (560 total). I was nervous at first, because it doesn’t list how many bonus minutes you’ll get when making the purchase, but it came through. I’m happy! 🙂

    • That probably means your not getting a signal..try taking the battery out, putting it back in,and turning on..also moving it around in a different area might be able to pick up the signal..if that doesn’t help you gotta call customer service and they will send a replacement..good luck

    • I moved from Pickaway County to Scioto County I got the phone in Pickaway county. Mine did same thing only emergency calls. I called they checked area code to make sure I was in there service area, then they checked the next 3 set of numbers and for some reason they changed the second set and It started working right. I am not saying its the same problem as yours , but just maybe call and it could maybe help. Good Luck

  184. I am currently using Safelink…unfortunately the the Samsung cell phone given to me does not perform optimally making every conversation very difficult.
    I wish to retain the Safelink program since of my financial circumstances and upgrade a working cell phone that will make conversations without frustration of repetition.
    Is this a possibility. I cannot afford to purchase monthly minutes. Currently I receive 250 minutes which works well for me. Please call or email. The current Samsung phone is close to worthless

    • A friend gave me their old Samsung S390G when they upgraded to a smartphone. I was able to transfer my SafeLink service from the horrid handset they gave me to the Samsung S390G. Once you contact Tracfone, they will mail you a different SIM card for the new handset and transfer any days and minutes you have on your Safelink account. Worked for me and happy I did it.

  192. Just tried 32102 with a 120 minute card and it was expired. I tried 93528 and it was expired. Finally, tried 60860 and got 40 bonus minutes on a TMFL phone for a grand total of 400 minutes. Awesome.

    Reply

    • Hi Angela!

      Ok, you said you bought a 120 min card and got 40 bonus minutes (with code 60860), which equals a total of 160 min. You said you somehow ended with 400 minutes.

      So if you start with the 400 min received – 120 paid for – 40 bonus = 240 min left/unaccounted for. Do you think the other 2 codes (32102 & 93528) that said they were expired actually kicked up 120 each or???

      Reply

  197. Promo code 32102 from the list says 60 bonus minutes with a 120 min. card.Just used it and it gave me 240 bonus mins. for a 120 min.card. Not a bad deal.

    Reply

  200. Just used 72754 with a 120 minute card and received 120 extra minutes for a total of 240 minutes plus 90 extra service days. Lots of other sites say it’s an invalid code but as of 9-14-15 it worked for me.

    FYI I do not have DMFL for my phone so that had nothing to do with the code working for me. Good luck.

  221. Going close to one (1) year and I have only received 125 minutes, ONE HUNDRED & TWENTY FIVE. At first they sent me a phone with a bad battery. The phone keep on telling “out of battery” during it;s dying stage. I called Tracfone and the idiots didn’t know what that meant. During that time they are getting money using my name. After months has passed I had to re-apply-but the Gov payment did not stop and I had no phone.They sent me another phone, and it was a problem phone.-again- After calling them numerous times they said to send it back,they are getting paid and I had no phone I still did not have any phone. Ok, they sent me a nice one -thanks to who made that error–but with only 125 minutes and that was at the start of 2014.
    Their excuses was I should make even one call each month-and in the meantime I am pinching the 125 minutes, doing what, it was making calls. So stupid, could I just thow away the minutes? After asking for my minutes,many times,they said someone was stealing my minutes.Maybe when I am sleeping someone broke into my home and steal the minutes. Then the latest correspondence about a month ago they were going to send me a paper which I only had to sign my name and mail it back to them-that piece of mail looks black to me. Anyway it has not reached me yet.
    So, here is my deduction, give the phone, dont give any minutes, and we sufferers have to find money to pay for what the Government is paying them for already. That’s why we hear how much millionaires there are. They suck the poor dry, like how a scorpion does. I hope they can use those minutes to extend their you know what or shove it.

  244. These promo codes from Safe Link promo codes does not work anymore. I called the technical support number after trying so many times and the gentleman told me that Safe Link does not offer any promo codes any longer. They will offer promo codes just for the Holidays. I was so out done and frustrated. I asked the technical support gentleman why does safe Link still have their site up and they don’t offer any of these promo codes any longer? He didn’t know why. He said that he thanked me for the heads up.I am so frustrated after trying so many times and I had to call the 1-800 number to find out why I was having so many problems. I wasn’t until the tech tried with 2 of the promo codes that I gave him ,and he kept saying that they don’t work. They could have offered me some free bonus minutes after all of this trying promo codes and I had to call them up.This would be a great service to me, after all of this stressing.Now I have to wait until the Holidays to receive a promo offer. What do anybody out there think?

    • You get a pin by buying an airtime card at the store or online. The cards they are talking about are $19.99 at most retailers for 60 minutes. Safelink gives you minutes with the ‘555’ code every month. You cannot use that code for anything except your free minutes.

    • You might have tried to put to many of these codes in. After so many (I don’t know the number) invalid codes your service gets shut off. You have to call either tracfone or safelink to have them help you fix that. When they tell you what the process is for that phone, write it down for next time.

    • The 15 digit PIN is on the back of the airtime card that you purchase. To access it, you must scratch off the silver stripe on the back.

      Reply

    • You may have bumped your browser. That takes minutes out really fast. You have to buy a new card to add more minutes. Go to your prepaid option and add the 15 digit pin off the back of your card.

      Reply

    • Turn off your internet connection to stop accidental minutes from disappearing when you weren’t using your browser. Just google “your phone’s model and turn off browser”. You can turn it on and off when you need it but it won’t eat up your minutes by mistake. If you call tracfone customer service they should refund your minutes. Don’t wait, if you try to recoup after 30 days they won’t help. Be vigilant not belligerent or they won’t give you the favor.

    Reply

    • @trishahenn, Yes, but only when you buy/add airtime. The minutes you are granted by the Safelink Wireless program, or “free” minutes, which are automatically added each month remain the same. On top of those minutes and plan terms, if you run out of “free” minutes or want to add on more minutes before running out, then you must make a PURCHASE. It can be a bit confusing, but here’s a tip I hope helps:

      First, make sure you have your Serial Number from the Safelink Wireless program’s Tracfone you use, because it’s required on website. Also, if you are using a Promo Code, enter that number in the space when the time comes during the online checkout/purchase process. You get the amount of minutes you buy, plus any bonus minutes and any extra time that comes with that purchase. It does not affect your program “free” minutes; it adds on to it the minutes you buy, and it extends only the purchased minutes’ life/rollover.

      For example, this one worked for someone today: The “84464 – Buy 60 minutes, get 170 free minutes more” listed above. The user’s 250 Safelink plan ran out very early this month. From 0 minutes and an inactive phone, the user went to the SafelinkWireless website and selected the 60 minutes option under ‘More Savings, Buy Airtime’ tab. Then the cell phone A/C + phone number, and Serial Number get input when asked, and any Promo Code, 84464 in this case. The purchase was a “one time” buy, paid by credit card, after skipping some irrelevant confusing screens, and the confirmation screen showed 230 minutes, which is the total of the 60 min paid for and the additional 170 bonus Promo Code minutes. The purchase link goes to Tracfone’s site from Safelink.

      Again, yes, when the next first of the month rolls around, the “free” program minutes will just increase, “on top of” the total minutes if any are left from the purchase. Customer Service was not highly helpful when called to explain this. So, I hope my sharing the user’s experience helps. By the way, Safelink users get preset bonuses as shown on the chart: buy 60 min, get 200 total, for example, but the Promo Code netted the better deal, 230 vs. 200; you don’t get both.

      Customer Service was not highly helpful, this time, when called to explain this. So, I hope my sharing the user’s experience helps. Happy calling and texting : )

  307. I also don’t have minutes on my safe link phone, I got this flyer in the mail saying if I didn’t receive any minutes this month that all I simply have to do is “add airtime” and then enter 555! Sounds so easy right, even if you phone does NOT come with that option!!!!!!!!! It doesn’t exist.Why create a flyer that doesn’t even know its own phone options? Under prepaid, It goes “my phone number”, “airtime info”, “airtime display”, “serial number”, and “code entry mode”(which yes I tried putting 555 in that section and it says “error 33”), so let me get this straight, I had to restart my service/ everything last month because it stopped giving me minutes even though I still have service days. I got those minutes and was thinking that this month they would appear on their own but here I am with zero minutes and a useless flyer that was made in Medley, Florida. Oh and I am not the only one with this issue, ahhhhhhahahahaa

    • 1.) Select Menu and select number “1” Add Airtime.
      2.) Enter the 15 digit Airtime PIN from a Tracphone Prepaid “60” Minute Card.
      3.) Select “Yes” when asked if you “Have a promo code? and enter in Promotion Code “86508”.
      4.) You will receive a text message with 60 Mins, 240 Bonus Mins and 90 Activation Days.

  311. Just to let Safelink Tracfone customers know…if you buy 60 minutes from Tracfone website they AUTOMATICALLY ADD A BONUS OF 140 MINUTES, which I personally feel is amazing! So if you have the $20.00 to purchase 60 you get total 200…can’t beat it!! Good luck to all and God Bless.

I’ve been trying to reach customer service, Can’t get through, dropped call, or the call center is closed. I hope you get the glitches out of the system. I really appreciate the service and support, However, I don’t need the frustration. I need the phone; Job applications, business calls and medical support, now I have to change all of my contact information.

  340. I thank the Lord for such gifts given to me. When I received my phone, I called a 3 digit # to find out why I couldn’t speak mobile to mobile. They said I could and for about 2 days it worked. Now, I can’t speak mobile to mobile with a friend who also has Safelink and it eats away at the minutes. I just don’t understand why. I just happened across this message board because i was looking for that number. I guess I will call the 800 #. lol Wish me luck!!!! May the Lord continue to bless you and yours….. Sincerely, Deb P.S. With our country in the shape it is in, we should be happy to get something free to those in need of such things.. And as for the negativity on here, nothing positive comes from having such an outlook as what I have read on here. I guess it is true that “MISERY LOVES COMPANY”. JUST REMEMBER WHEN YOU GO TO SEEK AND CANNOT FIND WHAT YOU NEED, ” THE LORD GIVETH, AND THE LORD TAKETH AWAY. ” AS I SEE IT, YOU ARE A FAULT FINDER!!!!

I just went to tracfone’s website to buy some minutes after looking at the promo codes on this site, so I selected a 30 min card for 9.99, then added promo code 157840, entered my phone number and hit continue. As I was getting out my debit card, i got a message on my phone saying 125 minutes was added to my phone and i didn’t even pay for anything!!!!!!!! Are they going to bill me some way or was this completely free? I didn’t even give them any other info, so im really hoping it is free 🙂 O btw, the promo code said it was for double minutes which mean ti still should’ve only gotten 60!!! YAY

    • Cindy, Reston is right-GO AWAY! Perhaps you have been lucky enough in your life to have been spared a disability which makes it impossible for you to work. Unfortunately, the rest of us have NOT been so fortunate. I’d GLADLY take a job, so I could then shove my cell phone up your ASS!

      IF I had to guess, I’d say that you either have a Mommy &/or Daddy who takes care of you, or that you managed to marry rich. In which case, you’re all probably Republicans-i.e-what’s in it for ME ME ME-let the poor pay all the taxes & starve. (Or better yet DIE, as Ebenezer Scrooge said, “Thereby ridding us of the “surplus” population”-hmmm…the needy?)

      Our parents & then WE worked to pay the taxes to PAY for these government HANDOUTS. The less we make, the MORE we pay. The poor & middle class don’t have the tax shelters & write-offs which enable the rich to get away with paying next to nothing in order to help this country survive.

  353. FOR DAWN:
    You must enter the tracfone promo code properly to avoid not being able to take advantage of it. The important thing is to enter the promo code at the same time that you first enter the PIN. You must enter the code immediately after the PIN, with no spaces. Same thing if you are entering the PIN on the website — enter the code on the first go-around

  355. Let me make a statement about these free Safelink phones.
    Some people resent them and I read nasty comments about them all over the Web.

    I have one and it is a Godsend to me. I am visually impaired. I lost my left eye in a plane crash. Then my remaining eye detached its retina in two place requiring surgery that left blurring floaters in my vision.

    Brighthouse was taking me to the cleaners for land phone and Internet at $80.00 month. I heard about Safelink and really doubted it could be too goo to be true. Finally, I applied and a week later my cell phone arrived. It was so easy to get it working. And the numbers on the pads of the my LG 320G are large and I can see them to dial. The phone works so well. I even have Speaker Phone, which is really handy.

    So, I got rid of my land phone and cut out a $45.00 phone bill.

    I couldn’t be happier. I love this little LG320G phone. Simple enough for even me to use. Plus, I had to buy some minutes last month to get to the 1st of the month and used the Safelink “buy 60, you get 200” plus I used the 67861 promo code and got 60 extra minutes above that.

    I can’t say enough good things about Safelink and Tracfone, because before this I admit I was a cell phone hater. But, it has changed me over. And they made a new customer if I have to buy minutes. And when I do, Tracfone shoots the minutes to my phone in seconds. No waiting.

    So, I am one of the handicapped people they were meant for, and I truly thank God that I went ahead and applied. This is a great program.

  358. Dont’t used prom code 77578. We are supposed to get a bonus 100 minutes with our 200 minute card pruchased. With my double minute feature that would be 500 toal minutes. But….when it doesn’t work you have to call 1-800-867-7183 and be on the call for 23 minutes. And the call is NOY FREE !!! Tracfone charges us to call customer service ! You could burn up all your minutes on hold with tracfone’s lousy customer service. The agents are nice and polite, but the phone call quality is so bad everything needs to be repeated several times before the words are understood.
    Sure, eventually I did get my 100 bonus minutes, but in reality it was only 77 minutes after the phone call. Not worth the bother.

        • I am truly amazed that there are so many people that visit a website created to assist those of us who are down on our luck and criticize, demean, call their peers names or rudely throw around unnecessary comments and opinions. It reminds me of the jealousy, teasing and ignorance of a first grader. I have not always needed assistance to “make ends meet”. My divorce took a toll on my family in many ways that I could not have other wise imagined. I was the one that was leaned on, the strong independent woman that could handle anything. I had not relied on my family for one thing since I moved away with two jobs at 15. At 30 I was forced to move in with my mother due to the environment and conflict that my babies and self was being drug through. 12 years of marriage and two step-sons gone, new house “he stayed”, car sold to help pay to furnish and start over from dished to kids’ beds… 100% the only thing that I kept or needed was my two miracles. We worked our way up to having a decent home and materialistic things after many years… a raise here and there. His families money could hold out longer then I could and he fought for the kids, abusing such “helpful” programs with lies and manipulation for his greedy purpose. One he didn’t want me to leave but I finally got the courage and family encouragement and support to help me stand up for myself and the best interest of our young children. Two he swore that no matter what, he would never pay child support. The attorney fees were overwhelming but to top it off was fees for a guardian ad litem and a mediator. The end result was agreeing to $300 a month from $800 child support and he voluntarily gave up a weekend (was 1st, 3rd, & 5th) to every other weekend because it’s to much traveling. I drive about 750 miles a month while he does about 480 for his visitations so a huge portion of that support goes into gas… Just in those 4 days. I had to move with my two young children to a town that is very limited in opportunities. It was hard to get a job where there are none! Especially with daycare expense and a $300 van that I can’t drive out of town… Even across town without it over heating and leaking oil, in 3rd cause it won’t stay in drive, (that now has both front tires with cords separated badly and one of them flat with a hole in the side wall). I am a licensed cosmetologist, certified nurse aid and great at sales with management experience. At 30 I took a job as a car hoop at Sonic because “it was a job”. I was making it but barely. I have not bought myself one thing in a year.. But my kids are happy and healthy and get what they need. I have always been proud of my strength through the years but never more then I am now.. And yes that comes at a time when I have no job because employees were cut to 10 hrs a week for seasonal change. Monday through Friday 2pm to 3:30 or 4pm.. 5 DAYS with less then 10 hours a week at $6.00 an hour and tips at Sonic, terrible most of the time. I paid $10 a day for childcare of my 2 year old son and $5.00 a week for an after school program for my ‘first grade’ daughter… You do the math, throw in transportation expenses, it was costing me to work. Because I quit, I do not qualify for unemployment. At one point my ex and I lived on an income of about $90,000. $50k of that was my income. Now I am raising 2 children as a single mother and full time college student, “job searching”… on $300 a month before expenses… Gas, diapers… YES I am proud of myself, I am trying.. Oh and in reply to “dbdbdb”(June 2011) my entire purse along with my straight talk phone was stolen on October 19th, 2011. My child support card was emptied and all identity and money.. Every dime.. Gone Social security cards, medical, license, and the rest of a women’s life that she carries close to her heart. It actually took away my identity for me and caused so much that was just keeping balanced on the edge to tumble and fall. I have to have a phone by court order for my children to have frequent contact with their father. I just heard about this program and I am so thankful that it exists. May of you, same as me have paid into these programs through our prior $200 a month phone bills with out rages taxes for 20 different things that help allow and create this program. I am not a big phone person but I tell you when my daughter ran off into a friend’s house where I couldn’t find her and I couldn’t find my phone… I realized how much I really needed one……. I know that no one give a shit. I rambled on just to say this, quit trying to make others feel bad to make yourself feel better. Stop feeling sorry for yourself like no one else has problems “sweet” (October 2011) shame on you… how sad to see your first post calling someone a “fool” that was only trying to be helpful while probably accidently hitting an extra 5 while demeaning them and scolding him for trying to help. I just can not believe that the language you posted on this site was not respectfully flagged and removed, like writing on a bathroom stall with your phone number”. Your what’s wrong with society, take a good look in a mirror and realize that when you reflect on what is wrong in your life, “You receive what you dish out”. You have to stay positive to get positive results. So smile, and in criticizing be constructive not destructive…

          • Amazed is what I am. I read your whole comment to quote “sweet”. God is truly blessing you. He allows us to be humbled so that we may enter into heaven’s gates. You never doubt yourself and your decision to provide a safe place for you and your children. They are very lucky to have a mom who has the strength to do it for them when there are so many women who don’t even try. Also, if the devil didn’t fear you then he would not try to break your spirit and your faith in God. Never question your faith. It is the most important thing. If you ever have the chance you should listen to brother T.D. Jakes on T.V. I believe the name is correct. God bless you and your kids. You should be extremely proud of yourself but know it’s God.

          • AMAZED—I can certainly identify with your situation, I know exactly what you are going through. As a single mom with two girls, one who had to have five kidney surgeries, and I worked three jobs to make sure my children had everything they needed. I am proud of you for doing all you can possibly do to take care of your kids, and I know that as a mom you do without so that they can have. Been there done that. My girls are now 29 and 27, and have their own families, but I have not forgotten how hard it was for me. Somehow, with God’s help, I managed to raise two independent, strong, smart, and responsible girls. So hang in there sweetie pie, it will get better, and one day your efforts will be rewarded. Now I have a beautiful two year old grand daughter and a very handsome grandson who is one. Both of my girls are very good mothers.
            Just wanted you to know someone does care, I read your whole post and I have great respect for you.

          • @AMAZED: Boo-Hoo, cry me a river already… Ridiculous!!! Nobody wants to hear your problems and life story. We’ve got our own problems to deal with, many of which are worse than yours, believe it or not, Mrs. Pity-Party!!! Now I can truly see “why” your ex left you!!!

          • Amazed, I think you are amazing, in every sense of the word! I am not here cause I need this phone, I was actually doing a little research for a friend of mine that has one, he was trying to get a promo code for minutes. I read your comment in it’s entirety and wish I could take you out for a cup of coffee. It is people like you that are inspiring with your words and encourage others with your examples of strength. As a father, I had a time in my life where I was worried about finances. I am a roofer/carpenter and I was forced to have back surgery. I was a jobsite foreman and led two different crews of six men each. I assumed I would have to make a career change (building houses and commercial roofing were, really, all I knew), it was a very tough pill to swallow. Instead, after I healed up, I went in to collect my things and what I thought to be my last check. I walked out being a personel supervisor in charge of 42 men and women with a substantial increase in my salary. At 30 years old, I never thought something like that would happen to me. So I sit here in my 30’s and I realize my story might not be as bad as some, but it had it’s effects on me. I will end my rant with something my son told me at five years old… Keep on keepin on dad! So keep on keepin on amazing! I applaud you!

          • *Amazed…LOVE the message u were trying 2 send! I understand how u could have gotten swept up in telling yr story. Long winded? Yes, but when u have so much 2 say sometimes it can feel like yr bursting at the seams…I could see myself doing that, just getting on a roll, thinking maybe I should delete, then thinking forget it, I’m a person 2 and dang it I have something 2 say…no, this may not have been the best forum, but nothing wrong with letting people know that there r plenty of us in need who are REAL people where many used 2 think of those in need as lazy or good-4-nothing. I read yr story and God bless u!!

          • “Moonsinner” and “Mr.Z” you guys are jerks and if you didn’t want to hear her story why did you read it? “yoytse” you were obviously bored enough to read and reply. “Amazing” I hope life gets better for you. You not what they say when God closes a door he opens a window.

          • Amazed…you are simple amazing, ans you told your story because some woman at the end of her rope needed to hear it….needed to know there is life after tragedy…you have to keep fighting. Money comes and goes, but in the end all that last is love…the love from our heavenly father,. Now keep grounded in a good bible based church, ans wait on the Lord to heal your heart, mind, spirit ans soul!!! Be Blessed. p.s. to all the naysayers…I was simple on this site to find a code to add moniutes to my nieces cell phone and I was blessed to read AMAZED story of ultimate survival!!!

      • I have a Safelink phone, but mine is not ugly. You don’t have to use the phone they give you. I bought a new phone and transfered to it. And i don’t know what phones you got, but mine that they sent me originally was a lot nicer than the one you get from Assurance wireless.

    • That has happened to me before .. Someone stayed at my house && stole it && he gave it away && the person he gave it to wouldnt give it back. So I just called safelink && got a replacement phone.

    • You can buy 60 or more minutes at walgreens, Hilander, woodmans or CVS, Via Tracphone card and since you have the safelink phone it will automatically double your minutes without a promo code. Example you buy a 60 minute card and put in on your phone you will receive 120 minutes or more and the 60 minute card is 21.76 including tax. You can also buy minutes on the website or with your phone.

    • Go into menu then it shows prepaid, hit ok, then it should say add airtime, hit ok, it will say enter pin then enter 5555 and hit ok, it will ask if you have a promo code select no, now your done and just have to wait a minute for your minutes. If your phone does not have the add airtime selection under the prepaid menu which is the coin Icon, then you will have to call customer service.
