I switched to Consumer Cellular about 3.5 years ago & ask myself all the time - why didn't I do it a LOT longer ago? $34.00 a month like clockwork, & I have fewer dropped calls than when I had Verizon at $86.00/month. Also, I bought a new $99.00 Samsung phone from them at the outset & it's been fabulous. Still on the original battery even.
