You would have to check with safelink for that information. Did you review the qualifying information on the site? Hopefully something can be worked out for you.
This program has been offered by safelink for a while now. I know it is making its way across the nation and every month, new regions are added. I believe it started in the southeast and has gone as far west as Colorado. It is great because it provides a means of communication for emergencies to those who might not have the means of providing one for themselves. It provides a basic, sturdy, quality phone and about 60 minutes of talk time. Again, it is an emergency phone that can be used for calls other than just 9-1-1. Good stuff tracfone, keep it up!
