Anybody using Consumer Cellular? I'm thinking of changing to this from Verizon.

Can I use my present phone from Verizon - a Motorola phone if I get the Consumer Cellular plan?

Thanks,

Nancy

Hi:
I would also be interested in any information concerning Consumer Cellular. The only other thread is about 2 years old & the information might be out of date given the speed of change in this industry.

Thanks, Mike

Well, I changed over and after a couple weeks am still happy! I got the fairly simple Motorola and it is ok. Not all the fancy features of my past Motorola but it works just fine.

Have not been to northern Michigan yet to see if it works there but was in Indiana and it was fine.

Consumer Cellular uses AT&T's network. Their plans are OK (no MTM or N/W). Since it is GSM, a Verizon phone would not work with them.

I've been with CC for about 15 months (AAA affiliate).

Service is fine, customer support has been good.

Basic, bare bones voice and text service, nothing more.

No contracts, no gimmicks like rollover, or peak/off-peak. Just a bucket of minutes that you draw out of at any time.

Change your package any time.

Did I mention, NO CONTRACTS?

FWIW, they only have access to he towers that Go-Phones have which is not the full complement of ATT's network.

GSM phones only. ATT handsets should work out of the box. T-mobile handsets would bee the carrier lock removed first. Non-locked GSM handsets will work fine.

After reading the post concerning CC's coverage I loaded the coverage map for them & then loaded the AT&T coverage map for post paid (contract) voice. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it looked like Consumer Cellular had the same coverage as AT&T. I even brought up AT&T's Go-Phone coverage which was far less coverage. Any ideas?
