“Great free plan”

Well, Q link is a free phone plan for people that can't afford anything else. It has good service and I hope to keep on using it 😀

Top Critical Review

“Q Link lies about features”

They say you will have unlimited calls and data. You do not. They offer hotspot service but you only get about 3 days service per month at most. Customer service reps have poor English skills. This wireless service is really poor. Only use this service if you're desperate and don't need data. Phones work like they're refurbished. Keypad often malfunctions. Buy a cheap phone if you're low on cash and need the call service or a backup phone. I paid 90 dollars for a phone and it was a total waste of money.

The data is on the very low end. Compared to my friends post paid T-Mobile. His is always faster than mine. Sometimes it's too slow to use. Since it's free I expect to be low priority. Overall it works okay.

Tip for consumers:
That you need to have a quality phone

The service is good, the particular phone I have is difficult to use and often will not wake up. I use it once a week to call someone as well as have someone call me. It is very slow to respond although I keep it charged. I probably need to upgrade to a better PHONE but that would ruin the whole idea of FREE life line service. It IS just for emergency anyway. But I always appreciate the QLinkWireless service for providing this phone at all! THANK YOU~

It is a big help to have phone service. We have 2 kids in the house and they play games when I drive. It keeps them safely in their seats.

Tip for consumers:
It takes a couple days for delivery and they just leave the package on the porch.

QlinkWirerless has provided me good Service almost of the time! I use it mostly for Long distance calls and the internet to cheek my mail and store ads. I recommend QlinkWireless!

It's a great service for it being a free government phone and having free service, you get what you pay for. It's not top line quality, there was probably a couple of months there that I could not receive calls at all. They were going straight to my voicemail and my phone was never ringing.
No one could ever figure it out in tech support. I will say customer service and tech support have always been very prompt and professional.

This is a wonderful way to get cell phone service when you can't afford the big name service carriers. Or if you're on a fixed income this is a great way to have a cellphone and stay connected with your friends and family, or god fore-bid you have an emergency!

Sometimes I can't make an outbound call with my cell. I gave 4 stars because I'm not sure what the problem is. When I make a call I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. This has been happening a lot but not lately.

Better than C. C. ~ the $24.mo bill jumped to $62.mo; signal strength, CS and data (unlimited) became frustrating. Qlink's service, Hot Pepper phone and reliability have been awesome. I qualified for service based on restricted income and truly appreciate that such a program exists. P.S. The tablet is a nice extra for $10. The one I received has been temperamental and sluggish from day one. Okay for games!

The service has been reliable since day ONE.
-Why does Qlink offer me Amazon Prime and then says it can't?
- Why does Qlink send me emails that say "Upgrade to UNLIMITED for FREE" when I have been bundled with ACP? What the h*ll are you offering?
-WHY?

I feel very blessed to have this qlink service provided for me at no cost. Although my phone doesn't run as quickly as it used to I still appreciate the fact that as a houseless 57yr old woman it's one less Bill I have to stress over.!

I think Qlink wireless is a great service that does help out the less fortunate ones who are struggling to get through these hard times that we have been experiencing for the past 2 years or so. It helps those ones to still be able to keep in contact with family especially and friends as well.

I am so glad for this. I can't afford to pay a cell phone bill. When I go out, even outside I take my phone with me. It makes me fell safe knowing if I fall I can get help. This is a blessing

Tip for consumers:
Make sure you get a brand you know about. Mine us a little over a year old and it is out of date.
