@goldensrbest I have been using Consumer cellular for about two years now. I am very happy with the service and it's half of what I was paying to Verizon. Literally half! Highly recommend

We have used this service for the past five years. My husband and I bought our phones from them at Target. They have excellent cell coverage at an amazing price. I highly recommend them.

That is also why we switched 5 years ago to Consumer Cellular. Our Verizon bill was creeping up every month. After a bit of research my husband figured out Consumer Cellular would be about half the price for what we were paying Verizon. And with Consumer Cellular we were getting unlimited everything.

My husband and son use their phones for so much now. I hate to think what our bills would be looking like if we were still with Verizon.

We also have been very pleased with their customer service.

PS - Maybe we switched more than 5 years ago. We bought our original phones at Sears. My husband and son have since upgraded their phones and went to Target.

We were told by a tech that helped us transfer phone information from Verizon to Consumer Cellular that Consumer Cellular uses AT&T and Sprint towers.

Have been Consumer Cellular user for approximately 10 years. My husband and I both have phones from them. I have an Apple 6S and he has the model above it. The price and the service cannot be beat.

Verizon has introduced a new pre-paid phone plan. This plan will compete with T-Mobile plans.

Consumer Cellular may provide great service, and they wiil try to sell you additional products.

I'm sure I'm in the minority but I had Consumer Cellular and switched. I use my cell phone very little except for one month I was traveling and used it more than usual. They automatically, without my knowledge, switched me to a different plan that I didn't want. In order to get back my original plan I had to call them. I told them to cancel.

I now have AT&T that I pay $25 every 3 months or when the balance gets down to $5.00. It's 25 cents per minute and I can text. Works for me!

Although the customer service, which I don't need, may not be as good as Consumer Cellular, I pay a lot less for my TracFone. I have a smart phone that is a little computer, and it costs me about $4/mo.

You may want to look at the iPhone 11 or the 12 which comes to market in October 2020.

Apple will have four phones in. It's upcoming offering.

I like a phone to be 2.98 - 3.06 Wide by 6.1 height or more. You will be able to read text on a phone of this size.

Samsung has a Note 20 being introduced in. August 2020.

You should be able to find leak on YouTube videos and articles . You should be able to find reviews and unboxings.

IPhones receive updates longer than Samsung, Notes, and S series products.

@goldensrbest Sorry I didn't see your question until this morning.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S10e. I find it to be a great phone, no trouble at all.

I probably will never use it to it's capability but I love it. Also I never had Consumer Cellular change my plan or try to sell me additonal products. Very low pressure sales in my experience with them.

I love Consumer Cellular. I have had them for about 3 years. No problems at all with them. I have one if the cheaper plans because I don't use it that much. I text and use data mostly. I plan on getting my landline from them. I highly recommend.

Yes, Consumer Cellular has two older IPhones online. These are at the end of their user life.

A quality smart phone costs the same as a laptop.

If you need a phone now, you should look at the iPhone XR or the Samsung S10 series products.

Samsung has a clearance sale to make way for Note 20 on their site.

Please understand a carriers unlocking policy.

You do not want to get stuck with a paperweight.

DH signed up with them when he got his Iphone. He hasn't had it very long but the price seemed very good. Also, he has talked to them on the phone a few times and they are easy to get through to and easy to understand. They are very helpful and patient. They have a very good rating, too.

Re: consumer cellular

goldensrbest — Wed, 01 Jul 2020 13:39:30 GMT

Did he buy his i phone from them,or did he buy some place else? Just wondering if you buy elsewhere,if you can still sign up for their service.

Yes, you can bring your phone with you...and you are free to change equipment whenever you want...yours or theirs. Just move the SIM card.
