      I applied for service on the 18th of December 2022, I was accepted on the 20th when I received an email stated I would receive my phone in 2 to 3 business days, on the 3rd business day, I still never received my phone, so I called to find out what happened, was told again by another representative that I had to wait another 3 to 5 days for my phone, I asked to speak to a supervisor and they refused multiple times to put one on the phone, then hung up on me multiple times as well.

      I applied for a Government Phone on December 07, 2022. I'm still waiting for a phone. I have been without a phone for 4 days now. I can't get a hold of my family. When are the Government Programs going to stop hurting me and start helping me? Every person lies to me. i was told between December 16 and December 20. Now i Have to wait until December 22, 2022, because the agents are not telling me the truth. I want answers why it takes too long to get me a free phone sent to my address? All these people living outside ******* needs help speaking better English and needs to listen to ******** English. If I was running the company non-*** agents would be fired.

      Safelink does not contest that I am properly enrolled or that I am entitled to a device. They just will not actually send the device. Instead, they take a the check is in the mail approach and tell the customer the device will arrive in **** days. That was on November 21, and as of yesterday, they do not claim to have sent the device. I applied on November 17 from an agent on the street for Safelink Wireless Lifeline. I was told I was denied, and I needed to contact ********** Lifeline for more information. When I called ********** Lifeline, they told me their records showed I was enrolled in Safelink Wireless with an active phone number of **************. I then called Safelink Wireless back with the ********** Lifeline agent on three-way. Safelink found the account, and they said I was enrolled in Lifeline, but I needed to provide proof of qualification for the *** benefit before they would activate the ***************** I went to the *** National Verifier website and obtained the confirmation number to demonstrate qualification. When I called Safelink back, they insisted there was only one department at the company who could input the proof of qualification into my account. I repeatedly spent ***** minutes waiting for the customer service agent to answer, and every single time they would transfer me to the Lifeline enrollment department, the call would simply drop and hang up. Over and over again, I would call back, wait for ***** minutes for an operator to pick up,, get transferred, and the call would hang up. I eventually insisted that an operator give me the direct phone number to this department. I called the phone number on three-way with the original operator on the line, and the second call would drop off as soon as the answering service put me on hold. On another phone call, I was transferred to a warehouse department after 20 minutes of 'customer service " only to have the warehouse tell me they just fulfill shipments for the enrollment department.

      Safelink Mobile says my phone is out of the one year replacement warranty time of 10/30/2022 . I called customer service on Nov. 29, 2022 before the warranty expired and reported that the phone fast charge wasn't working. Safelink said they were sending me a new charger and charging cord for my phone. I told them that Best Buy Geek Squad use one of there fast chargers to check my phone.They said it was either the irremovable batter or the phone was defective. But they still insisted they send me the charger and cord. They told me if that didn't fixes the problem they would send me a replacement phone. When the replacement parts came there was just a cord and no charger. Now they say it's my phone and that I will have to buy a new one. It seems to me they purposely ran me past the warranty time. It's a shame because other than that I've liked the service. I don't know how to proceed other than contacting the BBB which is what this is. I am wanting a replacement of the same phone. If not one with as big or bigger screen because of my age and I sight. I tried every thing I could to get them to replace it but they would' I asked to talk to supervisor but they said no. It seemed like they were just reading from what to do sheet. Can you tell me how to proceed in trying to get the phone replaced. I don't want to switch service just to get a working phone.

      My phone screen broke. I called SafeLink to let them know I was cutting my finger on the shattered screen and needed a replacement.The agent said sure, issued me ticket #********** and sent me return label. After discovering the mail was from SafeLink I immediately packed the phone put the label on without reading it and put the phone in *** at CVS Nov25.I've been trying to check status of repair or weather they had shipped my new phone. They received mine and they ship me one is the way it was explained to me. So of course I can do that.But since, every call lve made to SafeLink the agents talk as though they don't know the process repairs and replacement happen.Almost daily I call different people and no one can tell about my phone. Today I was told my phone number ********** was no my phone#.With doctors and family that worry about me...I need that phone without it l can only discuss it in email.Can you get my phone back?
