      Inform the representative of your intent to change your Safelink phone number.

      Ask the representative to save the remaining minutes that you have on your phone to a queue, which they will create for you. Write down your queue number when prompted to do so.

      Wait for the representative to deactivate your current SIM card, which will prevent you from using your Safelink phone.

      Provide the representative with the queue number that you were provided with by the previous representative, so she can access your account and add the funding back to your Safelink account.
