I have been a Consumer Cellular customer for 10 years. I pay $68. for three lines, the third line is for my sister. Adding extended family members to your plan is no problem, and they actually welcome it.
You can purchase phones through their plan.
If you are traveling out of the country they will send you a new SIM card for the trip. Customer service will help you convert your phone over and back. They are easy to reach and you are dealing with American representatives.
You can adjust your plan up or down monthly , depending on your planned usage. When I was home based a few months ago I knew I would be using home WIFI for my data, I dialed my phone plan back to 250 mg. I’m out and about more, so I bumped it back up. They will automatically adjust it upwards for you if you are running out of data, never any overcharges. Be sure and go to their website and dial it back down the next month, they will leave it at the higher usage rate until you change it.
You pick your own plan that works best for you. That’s why you see people quoting such different rates. unlimited calls and texts are standard, it’s the data plan that you choose that will add to your basic rate.
If you buy your plan at Target make sure you get the card with ATT towers. I’ve never had a problem anywhere in the nation. (Haven’t tried the dead zone in Fenny Grill😊)
There is a reason Consumer Cellular is consistently voted #1.
