My wife has a Consumer Cellular phone line. Granted it seems to low budget, however there are catches. First of all, my wife has the lowest data account they offer. Yet if she goes over the said data limit she is upgraded per the month she was over in date. Problem, Consumer Cellular continues to price her account at the highest rate for data. She has tried again and again to have thue plan she signed up for via the website. NOT HELPING as her monthly bill remains at the max data plan each and every month UNTIL SHE CALLS customer service to correct the AUTO change.
Second and MORE SO, I tried to switch from VER**** to Consumer Cellular, I had my number transferred then added my EXISTING Note 8 phone only to find AFTER I Cancelled my VERI*** account even though Consumer Cellular clearly stated my phone was compatible, that my phone was not compatible.
In short, I stopped service with VER****, transferred my number and phone to Consumer Cellular - only to find they held back the real truth. I ended up with the same phone (which I want to keep) and a new phone number ONLY AFTER I WENT BACK TO Ver****.
Be warned
