Consumer Cellular, a vendor marketed specifically for older sets, offers flexible plans and a variety of devices. AT&T, the largest mobile carrier in the United States, is targeting a wider range of users. With that in mind, their selection of plans specifically for 55+ makes them another popular choice for seniors. But which provider is right for you? Consumer Cellular offers a variety of different service plans. Unlike other wireless service providers that require long annual contracts, each Consumer Cellular plan is purchased and paid monthly with no long-term commitment. Chat-only plans start at just $15 per month, and unlimited plans can go up to $60 per month, which is comparable to T-Mobile plans for seniors. Additional phones can be added to any plan for as little as $15 per month, which is a great option for couples and families. My mom and I are tired of T-Mobile charging $100 a month, if you go beyond the two-gigabyte plans, we have the one-gigabyte plan we need to move to Consumer Cellular. My mom is an AARP I want to get the 5 gigabyte plan for $55 a month We need to switch to Consumer Cellular now Do you wear Apple iPhone 10+? I need a 4g smartphone now! Is there an advantage to paying for a new phone upfront rather than monthly? And – does a new S10e accept a micro memory card from an S5? Need to talk to someone via mobile phone.
I have a phone and I get minutes from Wall Mart, but it`s too expensive for me, I don`t want to pay $45 a month for it. I use it so little and I have a phone but I want to talk about it. I have aarp as a health carrier and they say you get a little discount. Can I get this phone before I go to Florida on Sunday, how can I pay for it? In June 2017, Consumer Cellular was named the most popular mobile operator among non-contract carriers for the second year in a row in a consumer survey conducted by customer experience company Market Force Information. Carriers were categorized into several categories to determine customer satisfaction and loyalty. Consumer Cellular came out on top for best value, best coverage, least dropped calls, easiest plan switching, and best flexibility, among others. [28] We`re happy to help you change, Peggy!

Hello – I`m planning to bring an unlocked smartphone (my first smartphone) to the Target store here in Ventura County, California and sign up for CC. I try to avoid bloatware because I`m not interested in games at all. I read somewhere that AT&T doesn`t allow calls over Wi-Fi.
Is that still true? Is there an advantage to making calls over Wi-Fi if the Wi-Fi signal is available? Thank you for answering my questions. In this review, we`ll look at each of these carriers — their plans, devices, and contracts — and ultimately help you decide which option is your best. We just joined CC but didn`t have our AARP card with us when we signed up for the Target store. Is there a way to add it now to take advantage of the discount? My mother-in-law switches from AT&T to Consumer Cellular and only has problems with the phone and doesn`t get any help from you, what`s crap is elderly people and don`t understand how and tried to save money! Since 1995, Consumer Cellular has been bridging the gap between seniors and the latest cellular technologies. Thanks to a combination of low prices, flexible contracts, and easy-to-use devices, they are one of the best options for senior mobile phone plans. Hi Beatriz, thanks for posting. The Apple iPhone 8 Plus starts at $100 plus tax upfront with 24 payments $25 per month for the 64GB model.
