Lifeline Program in California - Working with Provider's Directly?

I usually get an Obama Phone / Lifeline phone from the tents outside the welfare office, but somebody said to look into working with a provider directly. They told me to post here. I've gotten TruConnect, SafetyNet Wireless, SafeLink Wireless, Assurance Wireless, etc.

Can I get service from one of the big providers directly? Or do I have to get one of these off brand ones?

Best Service Provider and Data Plan in California - Bay Area?

The best ones I see around are SafeLink Wireless with 25gb, but no eSim support for Lifeline in California. AirTalk wireless is having a promo rn where if you BYOD, you get unlimited data?

Any other good options?

How quickly can you switch lifeline providers?

Is it 30, 60 or 90 days? Does it start when your application at old provider is approved or when the sim was actually received and activated?

Lifeline Airtalk wireless device

For those using airtalk wireless with lifeline and got the free phone, if you canceled or transferred to another provider before the 180 requirement ... did airtalk force you to send the phone back or pay for the device? I got the fee phone before I found out that the device is not part of the government subsidy.

Anyone having trouble activating visual voicemail with SafeLink wireless on Android?

I'm having trouble activating visual voicemail on Android with safelink wireless using their T-Mobile SIM card. None of T-Mobile's visual voicemail apps, work with my phone. Since I took a break from them more than a year and came back, they still have an issue with visual voicemail.

Using Unihertz Jelly Star with Safelink T-Mobile SIM card.
