ATT vs Consumer Cellular?

Neither. Boost Mobile, Sprint. 30 bucks a month all in. Unlimited calling, unlimited text and 4 gigs data. Your phone and number or a new one discounted and your number or new and new.

Don't do AARP. All their pandering messages get landfilled. I do AMAC myself. Pro 2A.

We have Total wireless with MotoG4 phones.
2 lines, unlimited talk and text
15 Gigs of 4 G LTE data
extra data is $10 for 5 gigs
And it runs on Verizon towers.
Less than $60 a month taxes and fees included.

It all depends on were you travel and the cell provider you have.
Only 4 companies have actual cell towers across the USA
1) Verizon
2)AT&T
3T MOBILE
4)Sprint
All others use the above providers towers at some point
In the east heavily populated not much difference in service. All of the above have towers in populated areas
In the west large areas only have Verizon or AT&T service

So you need to know whose towers the others are using if you get a company that uses Sprint and you take back roads in the west you will be without service or roaming which may limit services such as internet. Worse the dreaded roaming fees

We've had Consumer Cellular for years. Easy to adjust the plan on the fly to cover what we need for voice, texting and data. Runs on AT&T towers so we have good coverage. Bill for 2 phones, text and data has been as low as $35 up to $58 when we are out in the RV and using more data. Their Customer service has been very good the few times we've used them. Always updating the available phones so you get a pretty good selection including Apple phones.

I have CC but am not AARP. My mother is in a nursing home and I got her the Doro flip phone and I have a smart phone , we share minutes 1500 min 500 text and 3 gig 41 a month for both

We have cc. They will increase our data automatically when needed, without a penalty. Pricing is very clear on their website. We've emailed them questions occasionlly, they answer in a few days.
Also, we could add a family member to our plan even if they don't live with us.

We switched to CC from AT&T a few years ago and have had o regrets. The ability to adjust our data plan to higher levels when traveling and reduce it back when we get home has been great. Also their customer service and tech support has been outstanding.

We have CC, more service for less price. Go for it.

Just because CC offers a discount to AARP members doesn't make it a part of AARP. I'm a member of AMAC, and I have CC service because it's affordable and good. If the OP finds a plan with enough airtime and data to suit him, there's nothing cut-rate about the phone service or their customer service.

Agree totally with this and other positive comments. We have been with them for over 6 years with no issues, great customer service and coverage.
