About Consumer Cellular

Consumer Cellular is a mobile virtual network operator founded in 1995 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon. The company provides no-contract wireless service to customers in 21 states, combining straightforward plans with customer service that has been recognized repeatedly for satisfaction among wireless carriers.

Instead of long-term contracts, Consumer Cellular uses month-to-month billing with no early termination fees. Customers can bring a compatible phone or choose from a lineup of simple flip phones and current smartphones, and every new account includes a free SIM card with activation.

Consumer Cellular Coverage and Network

Because Consumer Cellular operates on a major national wireless network rather than building infrastructure of its own, customers gain access to 4G LTE and 5G coverage across metros, suburbs and many rural communities in the states it serves.

Coverage always depends on your exact address, so check your location with the Consumer Cellular coverage checker before ordering. Once service is active, you can use the same coverage tools to find the strongest signal around your home, workplace or travel routes.

Consumer Cellular Plans and Services

Consumer Cellular plans are built around how people actually use their phones. Basic options focus on unlimited talk and text with a small amount of data, while smartphone plans add generous or unlimited data that can be shared across multiple lines in a household.

Every plan is month to month, AARP members are eligible for discounts, and you can change plans at any time from your account. Device upgrades, tablet lines and home phone service are also available for customers who need them.
