What does “verified pending shipment” mean?

Verified pending shipment means your order has been packaged and is ready to be shipped. To track your phone, look for an email from Q Link Wireless with the subject line “Your phone has been shipped.” This email will contain your tracking number, so you’ll know exactly when to expect your order.

The waiting period for this process varies because all orders are shipped in the order they were submitted. As several factors may influence the pending shipping waiting period, we appreciate your patience while we complete this process.

If your order has been “verified pending shipment” for longer than 30 days, please send us an email by clicking here. Please provide your information just as it is on your Q Link account, and explain you accounts status so we can best help you. It may take up to 72 hours for our Customer Support team to begin processing your request.



What does “pending further verification” mean?

Pending further verification means your application is waiting to be approved in the final verification stage. Please note that the verification waiting period varies and all orders are verified in the order they were submitted.

We appreciate your patience as we complete this process. Once your application is approved, you will receive an email with your Q Link Wireless phone number and your status will change from “pending further verification” to “verified pending shipment.”

If it has been more than 30 days from the time you submitted your Q Link Wireless Lifeline service application, please send us an email by clicking here. Make sure to provide your information as it is on your Q Link Wireless account, along with an explanation of your account status and any issues you are facing. It may take up to 72 hours for our Customer Support team to begin processing your request.





What does “Not Eligible Per State Database with Docs” status mean?

If you live in Maryland, Texas, Washington, or Wisconsin, you may see the “Not Eligible Per State Database With Docs” status because your state requires we find your name in their database to approve your application. This means your proof documents were received, but we were unable to find your name in your state’s database.

Please review the information we have on file for you, and verify that it’s correct. To do this, log into your My Q Link Wireless account by clicking here and entering your email address and zip code (or your password if you’ve selected one).

Please verify the accuracy of your full name, date of birth, and your social security number. If you live in Texas, make sure you also verify that your address is correct.

If your account information is incorrect, please contact Customer Support right away to update your information so we can re-process your application. Here’s how:

  • Send us an email by clicking here. Please provide your information just as it is in your Q Link account, and explain your account status.
