Select Connect! for affordable messaging and Web access.
Your no contract 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 extra monthly fee for these services. Our basic plan covers your regular calling needs. 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 there, too. We've made it easy, simple, and affordable for families and seniors alike. And no matter which service level you select, our automated Usage Alerts help protect you from unnecessary overage charges.
Whether you enjoy texting or talking, first compare cell phone plans and see for yourself. You find Consumer Cellular is not just the simplest or the cheapest, we're the best.

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. Also, use this service to purchase and download ringtones, wallpapers and games.
Note: Due to the extremely large amount of data required to watch videos (on Netflix or YouTube), stream music, or download large files, these activities are not recommended with our data service plans.

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 use. Messages beyond the plan are billed at 10¢ per message except for Connect! Max which is 5¢ per message. Any web usage beyond the plan is billed at 25¢ per megabyte except for Connect! Max which is 1.5¢ per megabyte. 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.
