Safelink Phone Exchange
- To keep up with recent technology, Safe Link Wireless is phasing out their 2G cell coverage, so customers will need to migrate all of their photos and files from their old device to a new one
- Customers with 2G TracFone, SafeLink, Net10 and Straight Talk devices will start to have interruptions in their service, and will eventually stop working entirely as networks are upgraded
- Only Straight Talk customers who have eligible 2G devices will be able to use the web site, and customers will need to verify their 2G eligibility before any transfer begins
To begin the 2G migration process for Safe Link to transfer photos, text messages, and other files, Safe Link customers will need to log in with their phone number and the last 4 digits of their Social Security number. Old 2G devices will stop working completely over time and will lose any network connectivity, so it’s important for customers to upgrade their devices as soon as they can.
Safelink Phone Exchange Service Notes
- Free to use
- A must for any customers using a Safelink phone
- Photos and files moved with the Safe Link Migration program will remain on their original device
