Ring in the Ringtones

Welcome to the first issue of Ringtones, our new monthly e-newsletter.

We know your time is valuable and you probably receive a lot of email daily. Our plan is to keep the newsletter simple and useful. Each issue will include a feature story, a practical tip on using your phone, the latest product or service news, and any special deals or discounts—to make sure you take advantage of them.

Additionally, we’ll feature an employee and highlight a customer. The employee profile will follow in the tradition of the Dewar’s Customer Profile ads from a few years ago—remember those? With just a handful of questions, we'll try to capture an employee's personality. And you'll finally be able to put a face to a name. It should be fun.

We’ll also be introducing a customer story. So here comes our pitch (music, please): Let us know if you’re interested in recording a brief story about Consumer cellular and we’ll send you a free video camera for you to use (and keep). We'll post all customer videos on our YouTube channel, as well as highlight them in the newsletter. You could be YouTube's next singular, make that cellular, sensation!

Thank you for choosing Consumer Cellular. Let us know if there's information you'd like covered in future issues. If you wish to stop receiving the newsletter, simply click the Opt-Out button on the page. We look forward to talking with you.


Meet the Family

You may talk to these folks all the time or occasionally. So we thought it might be nice to introduce them to you. With that in mind, each issue will feature a different Consumer Cellular employee.

Featured Employee
Name: Adam D.
Role: Training Manager
Start Date: April, 1998

Favorite Book: All my reading time lately consists of reading stories with my 2-year old son, so I'd have to say Curious George and the Bunny is riveting.

Best Vacation: Tahiti with my family when I was 13

What you love most about living in Oregon: The weather; the smell of the air after it rains, and the soft, warm, slightly humid air you get on summer evenings.

Favorite quote, saying or fortune cookie message: "Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten" (B.F. Skinner)

Special Offer: More Minutes, Messages & Pages!

Our goal is to keep your cell phone coverage simple, affordable, and practical. That’s why we’re increasing the benefits to our plans across the board—without increasing our prices. We’re improving our Voice, Messaging or Data plans. The result? You get even more for less.

And don’t forget, on our plans you pay the same low flat rate no matter when or where you are calling or to whom -- anywhere within the USA.

Plus, you’re eligible for a special offer: Add Wireless Web browsing before December 31, 2009 and get $5 off each month for the first two months on the plan!

Changes to Voice Plans

We offer six voice plans designed to meet a wide range of needs: from minimal monthly usage (our Anywhere Casual Plan) to 2000 minutes a month (formerly our Anywhere 1600 plan). As always, we keep our rates low and never make you sign contracts. Plus, you can add a second phone to any plan for an additional $10 and share all the free minutes.
