Messaging & Web
Connect!
Choose just the right combination of messaging and web access to keep your connection to friends, family, and the world, vibrant and lively.
Connect! means affordable messaging and web access.
Your Consumer Cellular plan includes several bundled services, such as Caller ID, Call Forwarding, Call Waiting, 3-Way Conference Calling, Voicemail and International Direct Dial. There is no monthly fee for these services. But what if you want to browse the web or send a text message or a picture?
With our Connect! service, we've got you covered. We've made it easy, simple, and affordable. And no matter which service level you select, our automated Usage Alerts help protect you from unnecessary overage charges.
Connect! is designed to suit your needs. Here's a look at the levels of service:

The Connect! service includes:
Text and Picture Messaging. Our messaging service lets you send and receive both text and picture messages. Use your cell phone to send and receive text messages of up to 160 characters, exchange text messages with another cell phone or send a message via email. Plus, you'll be able to take a picture and send it immediately, or send an existing picture – all from your phone.
Web Browsing. If you know what the web can do at home, you can do it here. Search Google, keep up on the latest news, check the score of the game or weather forecast – all from the palm of your hand. But due to the extremely large amount of data required to watch videos, stream music or download large files, it is not recommended with our service. Also, use this service to purchase and download ringtones, wallpapers and games.

Notes
Select the right phone. Most, but not all, of our phones support data and web browsing. If you're interested in this service, be sure to select a phone that supports it.
Billing for additional messages. Messages beyond the plan are billed at 10¢ each.
Billing for additional data. Any web usage beyond the plan is billed at 1¢ per kilobyte. Any items (ringtones, wallpapers, etc.) purchased through this service are charged separately.
Altering Services. Data or messaging may be turned on or off by phone. Turning off one of the services for a selected phone, or for all lines, does not affect the price of the plan.
Sharing Connect! If you share your voice service with other phones, you will also share your Connect! service. In contrast to other carriers, there is no additional cost – the $10 fee for the additional phone covers sharing of both the voice plan and the Connect! service.
