My son has a Safelink wireless phone through his insurance company. It is a Tracfone, so can I replace his non-working phone with this one?

Yes. I used this phone to replace the phone safelink originally sent. This is a tracfone. Just don't switch the sim card. You have to call SafeLink support to assist with the transfer.

As long as the person who owns the phone calls there old carrier and had it unlocked, then yes you can take it to AT&T and they can put a lock code in for you.... But it's time consuming and rather stupid because you won't get the proper upgrades for the phone.

I don't know, and no one can tell you the answer unless they use the same zip code. But if you call or email Tracfone, they will be the best source for the answer. You didn't identify your state or city, making the coverage more difficult to see on a map. As a general rule, you can enter your zip code on the web site selling the phone. They will reply and let you know if your zip code is covered.

Your best bet is to go to www.tracfone.com and click on the link on the bottom left for "coverage". I just did it for your area code 83864 and it took me straight to a selection of tracfone phones. None of the tracfone smartphones available from Amazon are available on their website btw. Regardless, if you get a hit with an area code, you should be good to go.

I'm not entirely positive but if the tracfone has a SIM card then transfering the SIM into this phone should transfer the information as well. If that doesn't work buying a new SIM card from an authorized service provider and activating the phone is another option. I would make sure the tracfone has a SIM card before purchasing this phone.

I have this same exact phone and use it with Straight Talk so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. But the best thing to do is ask Tracfone.

I bought the insurance and they definitely paid for a new phone when the one we had died. No issues at all. I would call them about theft.

This phone is compatible with the safe link program. You have to call them and tell them your phone is unusable. They ask you for serial numbers and how many minutes to be transferred. Boom done. Bada-bing!

Sorry, my Motorola tracfone is so old, it no longer has a visible model number and its packaging has been gone for years.

Its a GSM phone so MAKE SURE you have T-mobile service in your area or it'll not work. it will also work if you have good ATT service - but when you register it you have to make sure you use the correct zip - if it doesn't work good call tracfone and ask for an ATT sim card or T-mobile whichever is better. We only have verizon which is why it doesn't work for me as VEr is CDMA network

Best way to find out is to contact Safelink technical support line: 800-378-1684.

It will not safe link provides it's own phone. If safe link provides a SIM card then yes it may work if it is on a different network like CDMA (verizon type of network ) that uses no sim then it won't work. So in short if safe link provides you with a SIM card yes if it doesn't then no

I am pretty sure you can, but, sometimes they say it will take a week or so depending on the carrier and if it is cell or land line. Your best bet would be to call tracfone customer service and ask. You have to wait sometimes to talk to a human, but, they are good about handling what you need when you get them.

Maybe, if you have it "unlocked." I purchased the phone specifically to replace my son's phone on my Verizon account.

Yes you can, in fact! All you have to do is call TracFone and follow the step-by-step instructions provided over the phone and everything should be fine with keeping the existing phone number.
