    $48.50/month for 2 lines, unlimited text/talk, 5GB. Cheaper than anybody's service we've talked to. Had Consumer Cellular for 8 years, customer service, when I needed it, was always great.

    And by the way you can call consumer cellular and request to not automatically upgrade if you go over your usage. I have mine like this. Just a simple phone call, no surprises!

    • @opaulamorgan4265
      @opaulamorgan4265 2 месяца назад

      But then, you have no talk and text until your plan renews the next month. I want to talk and text as much as I want, and therefore, changed my carrier for unlimited talk and text.😊

    I would watch out for Consumer Cellular. They might be over selling their service. They were working ok until they started spamming TV ads on Court TV. My service was progressively getting worse over the past months. Texts messages were being delayed and phone calls weren't going through. The problem could have been with AT&T also. I switched carriers and have zero problems so far. I had to dump T Mobile because I don't need 20gb a month data.

      Vermin took me for over $80 Which I could not get back I tried to cancel due to poor reception, then one month (charged) 2 months (charged again)! Finally it stopped. I had reception issues whole in Georgia and Chicago! The worse part; in order to cancel I had to do it in person; except the satellite brick and mortar building was never open!
      Never again!

    I don't understand the complaints here. We have been on Consumer Cellular(AT&T towers) for 2-1/2 years. Pretty solid cell service. We have 15g data over three lines, so we are not heavy data users, using WIFI as much as possible. We have called the company three times, mostly getting new phones setup. And the customer service has been rock solid. We are paying $95 total a month for three lines. I guess that we have just been lucky?

      Well for one they use internet for calling.
      And that can be overhead on other phones. if you are on the phone.
      It's possible for someone else to hear your conversation.
      Also dropped calls.
      Delayed texting,
      These I've all personally experienced.
      Yeah I'm sure some do have good service. But the map on the commercial shows all... and that false. Me and my wife have this service and it's horrible.

      That's because it is ATT they no longer use T-Mobile towers just ATT and it's as slow as when I was s ATT costumer, I left to Mint mobile for 6 days because my Motorola Edge 5G used the TMobile 5G tower's ATT only has 4GLTE but they claim it's 5G it's 5Ge or 5G evolution which is supposed to be a better 4G they all lie like rugs to hook you in & when I got the mint Sim it said ultra & I could not change the APN ultra was purchased by T-Mobile years ago and they aren't supposed to use those SIMs & I specifically asked if I would be able to use my WiFi and they said yes! Ya it was TMobile internet and I couldn't get it to use my WiFi at home! And I know that I won't get a refund cuz their playing games! Consumer Cellular has always been a great company but I don't appreciate seeing ATT software update installed on my phone! So if you don't mind using ATT there good been with them since 2017 but I expect it to go downhill with ATT I can't get short codes and they argued with me for days saying if I get a text I can receive a short code! Next person said CC doesn't support short codes since there maybe a charge? That should be up to me! My Doctor still sends short codes for appointment reminders!

    Why would anybody do business with a company that has an ad on TV that ask if you are smart enough, then says they will wait for you to get smart.
    Then ask you if you are smart enough.
    Must have been a stupid college kid ad man that thought that bit of stupidity up.
    Was another stupid college kid that thought it was a good idea and approved it.
    They probably owe a ton of tuition fees because they didn't know what they agreed to.
    That same poor decision making shows in their job related decisions.

    I love consumer cellular! I do not sit all day and watch RUclips or tic tock. I work for a living like old school work, outside of my home not sitting in a make believe office making videos. There are many many people that love consumer cellular and it fits there needs. i heard a doctor say that he is seeing more and more young people needing physical therapy because of being on the phone all day.
