We have ATT (with an AARP discount)and are ok with it. I see Consumer Cellular ads in AARP publications and the prices seem to be too good to be true. Looks like we could cut our monthly bill in half. Anyone using CS please give me likes and dislikes! Much appreciated.cts

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 text15 Gigs of 4 G LTE data extra data is $10 for 5 gigsAnd 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 USA1) Verizon2)AT&T3T MOBILE4)SprintAll others use the above providers towers at some pointIn the east heavily populated not much difference in service. All of the above have towers in populated areasIn the west large areas only have Verizon or AT&T serviceSo 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.Dave

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

I will also recommend CC. I used them for a bit, and cannot recommend them highly enough. They didn't fit my needs, data plan wise, but everything else, was top notch.

We had CC for a few years but recently moved to ATT because of a lack of service when away from population centers or major highways, which is where we like to travel.

I just changed T-Mobile plans.

My plan
55+ With 10 Gigs of Hot Spot Data plus
1 line is voice/data (unlimited 4Glte)
1 line is Mobly (Car sensor) 2 gigs of data no voice
4Glte to the PHONE is UNLIMITED (NICE since it is my major data burner) 10 gig limit is for HOT SPOTTING (COmputers) only and even then it's throttled.

I'm still paying for the hardware and my bill will be 97/month (A drop of about 20% from what I paid last month.

Nice. Using hot spot to post this,.

Just because CC uses AT&T towers does not mean they have access to all of them. Go to their web site and look at their coverage map. It shows huge portions of the country that are not covered.
