Can You Fall in Love With a Phone Company? - Comments Page 2

We switched from Credo (on Sprint network) a year ago to Consumer Cellular. The difference in price and positive reviews were the draw. I really, really, wanted them to be a good provider. However, in the first two months, both my wife and I experienced intermittent one-way audio: called party could not hear us. Tech support was easy to reach and very friendly, but couldn't manage to fix the problem. We finally sent our phones back within the allotted time for a refund. The next day, we got T-Mobile service and we haven't looked back. The price was more than CC, but less than Credo, and we get far better service (Detroit metro area) than on CC's AT&T network.

I wish they came to Canada!

When I priced Consumer Cellular a while back, they were actually more expensive for my needs than the prepaid plan I'm using with Verizon. The fact that AARP endorses them would be reason enough for me to not use them.

Been a customer of CC for several years and have only good things to say. My significant other and I move up the food chain on smart phones as CC offers bargains on older models. Most important, CC piggybacks on the ATT system which is GSM. So if you are travelling overseas, you can use your phone and just buy a SIM card for local use.

Noted one commenter complained of CC bumping you up to the next bracket if you exceed your contracted amount. They are doing you a favor because the unit cost of extra minutes (or bytes) is much greater than the cost of changing brackets.

My mother and I switched from AT&T to Consumer Cellular over a year ago, and we are satisfied with the service. My mother only needs voice minutes, which AT&T did not provide.

Myself, I use my smartphone to check email. send texts, listen to music and surf the internet. My Consumer Cellular bill is lower than when I had AT&T.

Bob, So a Filipino person who became a new US citizen will not get a job at CC if that person has a different accent

When I finally got a smart phone, Moto Z Play (unlocked), I searched for the best deal for my usage (minimal minutes and bytes). Consumer Cellular won out. I made the change several months ago and have not been disappointed.

Had AT&T for years, then decided to go with Cricket. It is doing me fine and is only $30 a month. Cricket uses AT&T towers, so it is GSM. I get both a text and an email to remind me when my monthly bill is due.

I haven't had any "dropped" calls and the sound on my phone is loud and clear. The only thing I have that is AT&T is my landline phone and my Internet Router. Please do not pick at me for having a landline phone.

I ask you this - If your spouse had 11 Coronary Stents in his heart - What would you prefer to have your home phone, when you need to make that a big 911 call? I want a landline - For the reason that you do not have to tell anyone what the address is! If I am out and about and Hubby had a good heart attack and was not able to answer questions right - 911 would find him. A landline phone can do this but not a cell phone or VOIP.

Nope, sorry everyone. Republic Wireless is tops in my book. My cell phone charges are less than $18 a month (last month less than $15) for voice, text, and data for my needs. No contracts.

I was on my son's Sprint plan, but when they decided to change plans I signed up with "TELLO." There is no contract, I only pay for what I use, and I can call my daughter in Canada for no extra charge. I have had it for 3 months and have only paid $25 so far. I'm very happy!

I suggest checking out T-Mobile's Senior Plan. Two lines, unlimited talk, text and LTE data at $60 per month auto pay, includes taxes, and fees.

I'm using 2 tin cans and a piece of wire. Works for me.

1-24-2018...I ordered ConsumerCellular service & the Doro 626 phone on 1-6-2018. I have very poor hearing and was told that this phone was "for seniors," (meaning visual & aural support). Hearing is quite difficult for me with this phone. The phone does not hold a charge (only 25% right now after charging all night long.) When I called Con.Cell. earlier to request cancellation of the phone & service, I got a run-around from the rep. I'll look elsewhere. Glad others have good service from Con.Cell. Less than a month and problems! What would happen "down the road"? No thanks, Con.Cell.

You do not talk about coverage. What network is providing their service? I live in Texas where coverage on some networks can be really spotty.
