Free cell phones and airtime from Safelink Wireless!

What is Safelink?

Safelink Wireless is a government program available to income-eligible residents of Massachusetts (and an increasing number of other states). In Massachusetts the program provides a free cell phone and 80 minutes of monthly airtime to households at or below 135% of the federal poverty level. Recipients may purchase more airtime at their own expense.

How do I know if I’m eligible?

You are eligible if you:

  • Have a household income of 135% or less of the federal poverty level. You automatically qualify if you are a current recipient of one of the following programs:
  • Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled and Children
  • Social Security Income
  • Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
  • Food Stamps
  • MassHealth
  • Transitional Aid To Families with Dependent Children
  • Fuel Assistance
  • Have a valid US Postal address. PO Boxes are not acceptable for shipping.
  • Are not already receiving Lifeline Assistance through another phone carrier and no one in your household is receiving this assistance (you must first cancel Lifeline to receive Safelink).
