I have a SafeLink TracFone that I got for free and it's getting close to
the time to enroll again. I'm trying to get a better phone to use and I
hear ATT has the same program, but I can't find where to sign up. Any
hints out there? Or any way to get my SafeLink service switched to a
different cell phone?
I did sign up for ATT's discounted landline service but looking for the
free wireless service.

Neither Safelink or Lifeline is free; they are paid for by those
telephone subscribers who believe in actually paying for services they
use, via the unavoidable "universal service fee (tax)". Just because you
are freeloading doesn't make something "free".

Actually tax money doesn't support the wireless program. It preys on
those who get a free phone, use up all their free minutes, then the
suckers buy additional minutes at 20 cents/minute.

It says at the SafeLink website: "SafeLink Wireless applies the Universal
Service Fund subsidy to an allotment of free airtime minutes."
We are forced by the US Government to pay into the USF, so it is a tax. Your
free is paid for by our forced tax.
