If this is the only phone people have, then every month they must use someone else's phone to call to get their minutes. For the elderly and disabled, this could be a problem.
I am grateful for the programs that are available to those in need. I don't think the program sponsors are aware of this problem with the company that supplies the phones and minutes.

Found this on Safelink's site... Hope this helps... https://www.safelinkwireless.com/Enr...blic/home.aspx
At the bottom of the page click on "terms and conditions"

In order to receive your monthly allotment of minutes, you will need to leave your SAFELINK WIRELESS phone powered “on” during the first few days of each month. If you DO NOT receive your monthly allotment of minutes because your phone was not “ON” at the beginning of the month or your phone does not automatically retrieve minutes when powered “ON.” You may self-retrieve by following the instructions below. If for any reason these instructions do not work on your handset, please call us at 1-800-378-1684.
