I switched to CC about 3 years ago. At this point, I'd never consider switching to another carrier ever again. I had Verizon before this & was paying around $80.00/mo. Now - $34.00/mo. I get less dropped calls with CC too, and I bought a Samsung android phone (from Apples) for $99.00. It's 10x the phone my old 5 was.
As far as transferring my old # to the new phone & new carrier, NO PROBLEM at all. AND, when you call CC, you talk to a person in the USA - not someone in the Philippines you can barely understand.

I've had it for several years now, Dad has had it for about two years now. I believe they primarily use the A&TT network and T-Mobile in others?
Port landline to Consumer Cellular Transferring a landline phone number can take five (5) days or more. Outgoing calls can be made immediately, while incoming calls will continue through your old service until transfer is complete. Check status by calling Consumer Cellular customer support at: 888-345-5510.

We had AT&T and were getting raped, $80/month. We switched to CC for about $30/month about two years ago and have had 0 problems. Living in rural ND you are always worried about coverage and so far traveling around the state we have never had less than two bars. As to switching, went to Target and were lucky to get a tech that knew his stuff. Took about 30 minutes and we were good to go right then. As a side benefit, he cleaned out a lot of junk that AT&T had installed on the phone (initially got the phone from AT&T). Unfortunately some of the AT&T crap was hard coded and he couldn't delete it but it's getting time for a new phone anyway!
BTW, we kept our landline. Our local telephone coop has a smoking deal, telephone, unlimited long distance, and internet for about $90/month.

That's dependent on the plan you select. You can bring your own phone (not verizon) or buy one from them. Easy terms, no contract. Check 'em out: consumer cellular plans linky

Unlimited calls in the USA (minimal charge for calls to Canada), unlimited text, & different data plans - for getting on the internet or using mobile hotspot. I have the minimal data plan with gives me 3 GB of data each month - I have never used it all up in a month. If you need more data, the next level is $10.00 more, then there is another level after that - they may also offer unlimited now too.

I have used them for about five years and would recommend them.
The only issue I have had is during the pandemic wait times when calling customer service were way too long.
My wife tried to switch from AT&T but Consumer Cellular could not support her iPad. I have both an iPhone and and iPad so I don't know what the issue was.

My wife got us set up with CC several years ago. Apples to apples comparison to Verizon, our previous carrier, CC was $100 less per month. CC uses Verizon's repeaters, at least out here. CC pays them for the usage of the repeaters, they pay their staff well[ I asked], have ENGLISH SPEAKING HELP that are not eating something when you call for assistance, you can boot them anytime you want if you think they suck[ unlike many others], you don't need a contract, give a AARP discount if you are vintage, give you a piece of the action for referrals.. So...where is that $100 bucks going?

still doing research..... has anyone kept thier old number? how long did the transfer take? the web page says a land line could take week to switch???? After reading the start of this thread I hooked my mother up with it online. She's already received it in the mail and had her old cell number transferred with a phone call or two, its done.
