Default Another Cell Phone Question

Just wondering if those who have cell phone service with Consumer Cellular are happy with the coverage they get here in The Villages. And with Consumer Cellular service elsewhere when traveling.

We're thinking of switching over to them. Thanks.

Yes, using two Motorola phones for about three years. CC uses T-Mobile or AT&T towers. I recommend the AT&T towers in TV. Overall, great coverage everywhere when traveling.

Zero problems. Great customer service. Great pricing on plans. I am completely satisfied with Motorola phones and CC sells them for about $50 less than Motorola.

I have Consumer Cellular and have been very happy. I have been with them for about 1 1/2 yrs with no problems, and if you need help they are really GREAT. You may have to stay on the phone for someone if you need help, but they also have a call back system in place and it works. You call them and leave your call back and they DO get back to you within about 15 mns. I have talk and text and I pay $26 per month. I have traveled with it within the U.S. and we also took it with us on a Cruise, but did not use it due to roaming. I would not switch to anything else. I have a Motorola which I purchased from them, and I do use the AT&T towers.

We only have the one phone due to the fact that I married a dinosaur.

Yes, very happy.
Switched from Verizon about six months ago. Bill for same services is about 60% of what it used to be.
Getting very good coverage using the AT&T sim card all the way to MA. If coverage in your Village is poor, they will send you a T-Mobile sim card at no charge.

Am especially happy with the "Motorola G5 Plus" phone that I got from them for $200, although they're not currently offering them.

Samsung Galaxy phones cost and battery life was never good.
