I have a LGL39C phone I had with TRACFONE. My financial situation since has changed and got on the Safelink program. The phone they sent me is a real piece of crap. So I have this phone just sitting here doing nothing and I have been wondering if I can transfer my Safelink phone number and benefits to this LG L39C phone? Does anyone know if it can be done?

SafeLink Service will only work with wireless devices that are compatible with our network. Not all services are available with all wireless devices or on all networks. We may remotely change your wireless phone’s software, applications or programming without notice. This could affect your stored data, your phone’s programming and how you are able to use your wireless phone.

So that would be a no, since your LG phone uses data. Although I do know that in California the laws are different. So If you live there, I would definitely call Safelink directly. Otherwise you are out of luck.
