We switched to Consumer Cellular over 3 years ago and have never regretted it. Admittedly we don't spend the entire day with the phone glued to our ears. We mainly use it for calls, text messaging, nice camera and occasional web search. Prefer to use home computer for email, videos and internet instead of trying to do things with the small screens found on our Samsung Android phones. Since we are not heavy data users we have the plan that gives us shared 600 minutes of talk timer and 1000 text messages with 100 MB for data per month. Our total bill for the 2 lines runs about $45/month with no contract. On the rare occasion when we have had to contact Consumer Cellular for help with a question about phones or to change phones we have found their US based employees very helpful and patient with seniors who are technologically challenged. Around the Villages and on those occasions when we have traveled, have not had any problems making or receiving calls and yes they do use the AT&T Network. Since they don't lock you in with a contract they do not use gimmicks to get you latest phones. You pay for them upfront and prices can be steep if you want the newest Apple or Android phones. If you are like us you can get by with a smart phone ( older model) for about $150. Could not imagine standing in line at the Apple store to be one of the first to fork over a big pile of bucks for the newest I-Phone.
Several of our neighbors have switched to Consumer Cellular and I have not heard of any of them being dissatisfied or wanting to switch back to another provider.
