If you'd prefer to skip the online options and just exchange text messages with technical support directly, skip to step 7.
If you'd rather try to call technical support directly, skip to step 9.
Click on the "My Service" tab in the middle of the navigation bar near the top of the screen.
A drop-down menu will appear.
Select the "Account detail" option.
Select either the "Personal Information" tab or the "Enrollment Number" tab to choose how to log in and then provide the information required to log in to your SafeLink account.
Go to the SafeLink Support page.

Choose a support option.
To get guided assistance in finding a solution to your technical problem, enter the issue you are having in the text field at the top of the page and then follow the prompts.
However, if you would rather search for a solution yourself, in the hope that you can deal with it more quickly that way, select the "Browse FAQ's" option, and then search through the list for something that addresses your problem.
If your problem seems more complicated than anything the FAQ list can address, and if you have a bit of a technical bent yourself, choose the "Select a Product" option and find your device type to access technical information about that device. You might, with a little research, figure things out for yourself that way.
If none of these options help, continue with the next step.
If your phone is still working, text the word "SUPPORT" to 611611 to initiate a text exchange with technical support.
However, text messages are not a very efficient way of communicating about technical issues, and can take a long time to resolve. If you want to pursue other options while you are waiting to hear from them, continue with the next step.
Find one of the many social media groups dedicated to discussing SafeLink Wireless issues.
You can find such groups on Facebook, Reddit, and other social media platforms.
Once you find a suitable community, ask if anyone else has ever had the problem you are dealing with, and what they did to take care of the problem.
You can also try calling technical support directly.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for SafeLink Wireless Problems?
GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
