Hi Cher, I have installed two iPhones on Consumer Cellular with no issues. I think they are a great service and they will also save you a ton of money. Their tech support is great.

Re: iPhones on Consumer Cellular network
When switching from a major carrier to a reseller, things like visual voice mail and keypad codes that display the number of minutes and data used are not available to the customer of the reseller. Losing these frills is worth the savings for me. Kelly On 11/21/16, Mr. Ed wrote: > Hi Cher, > > I have installed two iPhones on Consumer Cellular with no issues.

RE: iPhones on Consumer Cellular network
I have only had Consumer Cellular, so I cannot speak to what happens when you change from a major carrier, but Consumer Cellular has an app that shows your minutes used, text messages used and data used. Granted, it is 24 to 48 hours before you can truly trust the numbers. They also have a policy to alert you via Email when you are approaching your monthly limit. Plus, now instead of charging a penalty if you go over, they simply bump you up to the next level, which is usually only $10 and since you ccan change plans monthly if you want to, you can just change back at the start of the next month. I've never fully understood the visual voice mail stuff, but voice mmail works great and I don't have to call in to get it, it is just there on the phone.

RE: iPhones on Consumer Cellular network
Hi Kelly, I am not sure I totally understand your question. When you switch over to Consumer Cellular you will still have a way to check how many talk minutes, text, and data you use. It still is listed under setting/cellular. Also consumer Cellular has an app that is totally accessible and it list all your usage on the simple to use app. Did you know that Consumer Cellular is owned by A T&T. So you are using the same towers as everyone who is on A T&T. Just for your information. My last bill was only $25.00 for the month. Then I have my wife on my plan for $10.00. So to have to iPhones on Consumer Cellular only cost me $35.00 a month. I know on Verizon it would have cost me around $140.00 for two iPhones. So I think that is quite a saving. That price is based on the amount of talk, data I used. I would encourage any of you to go to Consumercellular.com and check it out. You can also give them a call as they have great tech support and would be able to tell you what it would cost you to use their service. It is very easy to switch over. All you have to do is call them and have them send you a free sim card for your iPhone and when you get it you put it in and give them a call. They will switch you over and you can keep your same phone number. They will take you off your old carrier for you and you will be connected to Consumer Cellular. It is that easy.

RE: iPhones on Consumer Cellular network
One thing I should mention. If you only have an iPhone do not put the sim card in right away that you get from Consumer Cellular. If you do you will not have phone service. I would call them first for instructions if you only have the one phone. If you have another phone to call them on then you can install the sim card then call them on the other phone. If you do not know how to install a sim card I would call them and their tech can assist you. You might want to have a sighted person with you when you do this just in case you have trouble installing the sim card. It is really easy. I just gave my wife a paper clip and there is a hole on the side of the iPhone and you ben the paper clip to use the end to put in the hole and push it in to release the sim card. Out comes the old sim card. Put the new sim card in and push it back in and you are done installing the sim card.

O2 is very good and has been rated the no.1 network for years and I can see why. Very good to excellent coverage to nearly all of the country, customer service is free to O2 mobiles which in our experience when we were with them in the past, we never really needed them, plus their prices are very competitive to our other providers Vodafone, Three and EE which is a merger between Orange and our version of T-mobile. > On 22 Nov 2016, at 19:08, Pablo Cesar Morales wrote: > > Well, but what about the data cost?

RE: iPhones on Consumer Cellular network
I have had no problems with signal quality. I mostly do my Data intensive stuff on WiFi,. My wife and I share minutes and data and while we have 1.5 GB we've never gotten over 1GB of usage. Everyone needs to decide based on their personal usage. If you need 4 GB of data, maybe other plans would cost less, I don't know. That is why competition is a good thing.

RE: iPhones on Consumer Cellular network
Richard, That's what I thought visual voice mail was? Just being there on the phone. FYI, since I own my phone, and I assume you guys do as well, I am using an AT&T plan sold under their "Go Phone" brand, which is 3gb of data and unlimitted voice for $40 per month (no contract required); is Consumer really that much less? I know T-mobil is slightly less at around $30 per month (but they limit the voice minutes), so I am curious about Consumer? Thanks.

RE: iPhones on Consumer Cellular network
Hi Pablo, Like I said in my previous email on this subject Consumer Cellular is own by A T & T, so you will have the same single strength as being on A T & T. I believe 4 gig of data on Consumer Cellular is $40.00 and 1000 minutes of talk time is $20.00. That is the nice thing about Consumer Cellular is you choose how many minutes and data you want. If say you choose 4 gig of data and you only use 1.5 gig of data you can lower it down to 1.5 gig right at the end of the billing cycle and save you self $20.00. Like myself I chose 500 mb and say I would use 1.5 gig they would move me up to that level after I go over the 500 mb. So say the next month I see I am only going to use 400 mb I would change it back to 500 mb and save $5 or $ 10 bucks depending on where it was before I moved it back to where I want it. If you do not understand all this you really don't have to worry about it as they adjust your plan according to how much you use. You will get an email telling you if you are getting close to the amount you have chosen. I think if you are with any of the big carriers and you move to Consumer Cellular you will cut your bill in half or less. Also since your bill is a lot cheaper you can buy your iPhone from them if you like and make payments for it and your bill will still be lower than the big carriers. Give them a call at (888) 345-5509 and they can explain it all to you. I will bet you will find it a lot cheaper than the big carriers. What do you have to lose by calling them and asking your questions.

Re: iPhones on Consumer Cellular network
chip, After thinking about that, is that per phone? My wife and Iseparate numbers and share the minutes and data. We don't use tminutes, and don't use the 1.5 gb, so unless that $40 got unlimited minutes and even half the data each, we'd end up spending a lot more for stuff we probably wouldn't use.

RE: iPhones on Consumer Cellular network
Chip, I get 500 mb for that price. If I want 1.5 gb it would be $5.00 more. If I want 2 gb it would be $15.pp more. If I want 4 gb it would be $25.00 more. I think those are the correct numbers. I am going by memory. Those prices I gave you are to be added to my $35.00 cost and that would be for two iPhones. So I don’t pay for more than I use. If I go on vacation or something and use more than I pay for it. Other than that if I am at home I am not paying for 2 or 4 gb that I am not using and saving myself the money. Like I said you have to go to their site and look at the prices for talk and data.

Hi Mr. Ed, My apology, I didn't see your previous email about this topic. Now I understand all of this much better. I called to this company, and they gave me the following information. For unlimited minutes, unlimited text messages, and 4gb of data, is $90. I don't need unlimited text messages, but I need unlimited minutes, and sometimes I need to work on the bus, or traveling, so I use a lot of data. $90 is cheaper than almost all other companies, but I just wanted to highlight the cost of the data. This kind of plans are good for the most people, but in my case could be more expensive than AT&T right now.

I believe 4 gig of data on Consumer Cellular is $40.00 and 1000 minutes of talk time is $20.00. That is the nice thing about Consumer Cellular is you choose how many minutes and data you want. If say you choose 4 gig of data and you only use 1.5 gig of data you can lower it down to 1.5 gig right at the end of the billing cycle and save you self $20.00. Like myself I chose 500 mb and say I would use 1.5 gig they would move me up to that level after I go over the 500 mb. So say the next month I see I am only going to use 400 mb I would change it back to 500 mb and save $5 or $ 10 bucks depending on where it was before I moved it back to where I want it. If you do not understand all this you really don't have to worry about it as they adjust your plan according to how much you use. You will get an email telling you if you are getting close to the amount you have chosen. I think if you are with any of the big carriers and you move to Consumer Cellular you will cut your bill in half or less. Also since your bill is a lot cheaper you can buy your iPhone from them if you like and make payments for it and your bill will still be lower than the big carriers. Give them a call at (888) 345-5509 and they can explain it all to you. I will bet you will find it a lot cheaper than the big carriers.

So to have to iPhones on Consumer Cellular only cost me $35.00 a month. I know on Verizon it would have cost me around $140.00 for two iPhones. So I think that is quite a saving. That price is based on the amount of talk, data I used. I would encourage any of you to go to Consumercellular.com and check it out. You can also give them a call as they have great tech support and would be able to tell you what it would cost you to use their service. It is very easy to switch over. All you have to do is call them and have them send you a free sim card for your iPhone and when you get it you put it in and give them a call.

Hi Pablo, That's why I said in my emails it depends on how much talk, text, and data you need. So if you use a ton of data and talk you might be better where you are. You would have to look at exactly how much you are really using. I think for most people they are not really using that much data and talk and they would be better on Consumer Cellular.

I believe 4 gig of data on Consumer Cellular is $40.00 and 1000 minutes of talk time is $20.00. That is the nice thing about Consumer Cellular is you choose how many minutes and data you want. If say you choose 4 gig of data and you only use 1.5 gig of data you can lower it down to 1.5 gig right at the end of the billing cycle and save you self $20.00. Like myself I chose 500 mb and say I would use 1.5 gig they would move me up to that level after I go over the 500 mb. So say the next month I see I am only going to use 400 mb I would change it back to 500 mb and save $5 or $ 10 bucks depending on where it was before I moved it back to where I want it. If you do not understand all this you really don't have to worry about it as they adjust your plan according to how much you use. You will get an email telling you if you are getting close to the amount you have chosen. I think if you are with any of the big carriers and you move to Consumer Cellular you will cut your bill in half or less. Also since your bill is a lot cheaper you can buy your iPhone from them if you like and make payments for it and your bill will still be lower than the big carriers. Give them a call at (888) 345-5509 and they can explain it all to you. I will bet you will find it a lot cheaper than the big carriers. What do you have to lose by calling them and asking your questions.

When you switch over to Consumer Cellular you will still have a way to check how many talk minutes, text, and data you use. It still is listed under setting/cellular. Also consumer Cellular has an app that is totally accessible and it list all your usage on the simple to use app. Did you know that Consumer Cellular is owned by A T&T. So you are using the same towers as everyone who is on A T&T. Just for your information. My last bill was only $25.00 for the month. Then I have my wife on my plan for $10.00. So to have to iPhones on Consumer Cellular only cost me $35.00 a month. I know on Verizon it would have cost me around $140.00 for two iPhones. So I think that is quite a saving. That price is based on the amount of talk, data I used. I would encourage any of you to go to Consumercellular.com and check it out. You can also give them a call as they have great tech support and would be able to tell you what it would cost you to use their service. It is very easy to switch over. All you have to do is call them and have them send you a free sim card for your iPhone and when you get it you put it in and give them a call.

If anyone is interested in low priced cell phone service, check out the website MVNO News. It has a list of the lowest priced cell phone service from resellers. consumer Cellular is not listed because it is owned by a carrier. As was stated earlier, if you can download audio books and app updates on WIFI you will likely use under one or two gigs. With the money saved, one can upgrade sooner to a new iPhone or buy expensive programs like k1000. Kelly On 11/23/16, Jim Ruby wrote: > Wow, is this just for one line?

RE: iPhones on Consumer Cellular network
FYI, The Go Phone AT&T plan for $40 for one line has just now been modified to give you 4gb of data per month (with a rollover option to carry unused data to the next month) for those who want a lot of data for a single line. For a single line it seems very good (unlimited voice), but when my wife finally gets her Iphone, I think we'll look at the Consumer Cellular plans.

I only know of one carrier who do two line deals, if they still exist.
