Here’s a wonderful way to keep in touch with everyone, and everything, all summer long—and do it with an extra $20 (or more) in your pocket!
Switch your service to Consumer Cellular or add a new line (or lines) to your existing account from July 1st–August 15th, 2017. On your next invoice, you’ll receive a $20 credit for each new line you’ve added.
Add lines for family and friends to use—you’ll get a $20 credit for each one! You can all share the minutes, texts, and web data on your monthly Talk and Connect plans, and calls between phones on the same account are free. Then, sit back and enjoy all the benefits that make us the number one non-contract wireless provider, like low monthly rates, flexible cellular plans, outstanding customer service—and so much more.
Signing up is simple. Just give us a call at (888) 345-5509, or go to My Account, and select “Add A Line.” No coupons, codes, or special steps are required—once you’ve activated your new service or added your new line(s), a credit will automatically be applied to your next invoice.
This is the perfect time to save on great wireless! Imagine the possibilities an extra $20 gives you—it will go a long way towards ice cream for the grandkids, a bleacher ticket to a ballgame, or a few brand new paperbacks to enjoy while you relax on the beach!
With Consumer Cellular, it’s always easy to stay in touch, and save. Just remember to sign up or add your new lines by August 15th, before the sun sets on this special offer.

I called yesterday to find out what was eating up my data, I found out the modem / Wifi router, that recently had been replaced to an upgraded one, this was the problem…I fail to put a password in it, didn’t know it required one, everything now a day needs a password…geez, the guy was very helpful ! He did a thorough check…I had to call my ISP they help me with the problem ! I did have to wait a while for my turn, but was glad I did, it was due to the high volume of calls after the 4th ! Thanks Consumer Cellular
That’s great to hear, Carolyn. We appreciate your patience, and we’re very glad to hear that the issue has been resolved. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
I am a Reginal truck driver & have several apps that I use daily including Maps with voice turn by turn directions. They all run in the background to make my job easier. Do you not offer more than 5GB data plans?
I need Unlimited Talk, Text & at least 12GB data per month plus anew iPhone 7 Plus. What would it cost me each month?
Thank you for posting, Dave! Our largest data plan offers 5GB and unlimited text messaging. If you find yourself needing more data than that, you can purchase additional gigabytes for $10 each. You may also experience slower data speeds after 5GB of use. The maximum amount of data available in any billing cycle is 12GB. We’re happy to talk with you about your needs to see if we are the right fit. Just give us a call at 888-345-5509, and we will be happy to assist you. As for a new iPhone 7 Plus, we do offer affordable EasyPay plans, which you can learn more about here on our website. We appreciate you taking the time to learn more about us, and we hope you have a great day!
I have your phone service and I have the basic flip phone that you have to offer. I have a Verizon, Samsung stratosphere model number SCH-1415. Will that work with your service? All the phone repair shops tell me it came from Samsung all ready unlocked.
Thanks for posting, Craig! In general, unlocked GSM phones will work well with our SIM card. If you have the phone handy, you can test it with the SIM card from your Consumer Cellular phone. Just insert it into the new device, and power it on. If you are able to receive service, we’ll be happy to help you switch to that phone. We’re also able to answer any questions you may have over the phone at 888-345-5509. We appreciate you posting!
How are numbers for new phones assigned? If I select your service will I get a local number?

I am planning to add a line to my existing plan, which is currently 1500 minutes and 500 MB of data. This is enough for me but should I change my plan to the next higher or just wait and see?
Great question, David. The great thing about our automatic upgrade feature is that if you and the other person on your account exceed that 1,500 minute plan, you’ll automatically move to the next plan. You don’t need to do a thing! After a few months, you’ll likely have a good idea of which plan is the right fit. Thanks for posting today!
Who could I check with online to see if my new phone line has been activated. I’ve inserted the new sim card and went online and signed in to activate, but cannot see where I activate. Looks like my account is set up.
Thank you for posting, Bob. I see that our account advisor, Sage, was able to assist you over the phone and make sure your account was setup properly. If we can answer any other questions you may have about your plan or service, please don’t hesitate to call us at 888-345-5509.

When i add a line, can we each have our own phone number?
Absolutely, Lynn. You’ll each have your own phone number, and share minutes, texts and data within the same plan. If you’re ready to get started, just give us a call at 888-345-5509, or add a line in the My Account section of our site. Either way, you’ll take advantage of our summer savings and see that $20 credit on your next invoice!
How can I transfer my straight talk number to a consumer cellular phone?
I don’t have an invoice with account info. It is automatically drafted from my credit card.
Great question, Rebecca. If you don’t have an account number with your current carrier, you may have a PIN or other code that is used when adding more minutes or airtime that can be used. We’re happy to help you start the number transfer and get you signed up at 888-345-5509. Our account advisors will work with you to get all of the information needed. Thanks for posting, and we look forward to speaking with you soon!
