I just received my first invoice. I was quoted $92.00 per month in writing. The invoice was $102.00. My quote in writing did not include taxes and fees. I left AT-t and their quoted price was exactly what I paid.

I dumped this outfit a couple of years ago due to their completely incompetent tech support. My wife chose to stay with them. Eventually, she needed a replacement phone, with a extra-cost warranty, which they now will not honor. I have since learned that ANY company recommended by AARP or Consumer Reports is to be AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS!!!

I like that I don't have to worry that I have enough minutes and that they are always there when I need them.

Threre are definitely customer service friendly. It would be a no brainers for them to offer a military discount to Veterans.

I love that they automatically bump your plan to the next level if you reach a limit so no penalties

I tried to get it and i they said i needed a sims card so i ordered it and paid $10 to get it shipped faster now they will not ship the sims card and they will not refund my money and they will not turn service on so I'm screwed out of $10 if you want to throw your money away this one is good for that

Good prices. Only problem was service in eastern North Carolina when we stayed at a place about 60 miles west of the Outer Banks.

Company would not refund money when my mom died. Charged the time used for calling to cancel. Never answers call to cancel on hold for hours. Had to use menu to add service to finally talk to customer service. I would give customer service a zero star if I could.

Where is the 0- Star Rating? To give this pitiful company a fraction of a star is over rating them. If you live in Florida their coverage is weak at best. They offer no resolution to problems and continue to apologize for their scam artist company. Never Again,

3 sets of SIM cards, and $135 later it still doesn't work. They make setting up wi-fi calling impossible which means if there is no cell service on the network they pick for you, there is no service. Also, make absolutely certain that your service is canceled when you cancel it.

Money hungry company that preferred to lose a long time customer over $4.65. On top of it they have an automatic upgrade system which causes your bill to go up without your consent. Customer service people usually sounded very nice till after I paid my last bill and they overcharge me with no solution to the problem. Never again.

Consumer Cellular sucks you in with there 30 day free trial then make it near to impossible to cancel. Called to cancel waited 30 minutes then gave up. They are quick to talk to you when signing up but you can't get anyone to talk to you when you want to cancel.

My dad had it. They increased his bill for no reason with no use on his phone for two months then when he canceled and asked the Neal B. Customer service was anything but customer service. He was a jerk and tried to talk down to him.

Bought an unlimited plan with data and texting. They took weeks to turn both on. I could get calls but nothing else. Had to contact them 6 times. Now asking for a credit for lack of service. Kept being told that I had to wait for the monthly billing period to end to get a credit. They already deducted from my bank for the payment though.

You cannot send photos with texts without using your data. Also, it turns every text message into a multimedia message, for which you have to use data. The customer service rep told me I can't use wifi for these--I must use data. Lots of times I can't get a connection. I thought ATT was bad, but I've actually found a carrier that's far worse.

Absolutely the worst customer service if you get a person. Charged me after closed account for additional months. I would not pay and it went to collections whom I explained the situation and they drop collection

While the price is OK the service is not. Many times you can't complete a call, or it goes right to voice mail. I often get emergency calls only. Not real relialble.

They make it very difficult to downgrade your plan. It ratchets up, but they won't let it go back down. Customer service is closed late and on weekends. It must be their business model. Thieves.

They are the pits. You pay a bill and have the cancelled check and they said they didn't receive it and put you through hell. I guess they need to get people that do their job and can read.
