are you able to use other phones besides the one they give you when you sign up?

They sell other phones, and I believe that target sells some phones that work on their network if I remember correctly.

Yes, I know someone who bought a flip phone for $5 at Rite Aid and has been using it for his safelink plan. (One good bonus is that he can now receive and send picture messages, however unclear they may be.)

Is it possible to use a smartphone on the Safelink plan?

Thanks for replying. AFAIK, Safelink only provides talk & text, so how can you use data on that plan?

Not true!

Not true!

Ok, so how does this work? I buy a smartphone w/o getting a plan. How do I get the # & Safelink service transferred to the new phone?

And, which network does the phone need to be compatible with, AT&T, Verizon?

Call them up and tell them you want to transfer your number to another tracfone phone

Tracfone.

So it needs to be a Tracfone, not just any smartphone?

Tracfone is the service provider. You can buy any smartphone with tracfone service

Got it. Thanks.
