Consumer Cellular Rated #1—For the 4th Year in a Row!

We did it again. For the fourth year in a row Consumer Cellular is rated as the #1 cell phone service in America, based on survey results by the leading consumer reporting magazine.

What’s most meaningful to me is that our #1 rating is based on the results of an independent survey of our customers. They gave us higher marks than other carriers received from their respective customers.

In fact, Consumer Cellular received the highest overall score of 88 out of 100, thirteen points higher than the #2 rated carrier. Our customers evaluated our cell phone service as well as our customer service, and they like what we’re doing.CC_#1_NEW_round_RGB

Four years ago when the same national survey first picked us as the #1 no-contract cell phone service company in the nation, our achievement was dismissed by some.  Why? Because they felt, at the time, Consumer Cellular was a small company and such recognition was easier for small companies to earn.

Since then, we’ve grown over 30 percent each year and now serve more than 1.3 million customers. And today, through the hard work and determination of our employees, we’re still rated #1.

Our success, I think, has a lot to do putting a dedicated team in place that shares a common goal: To provide our customers with the best overall experience. Hands down, bar none.

Once we established our no-contract policy, we knew we were going to have to consistently deliver on all fronts, from affordable cell phone plans and phones to friendly, US-based customer service. Based on survey results, our customers say we’ve delivered. And I can promise we’ll do what it takes to continue giving you the best customer experience.

I’d like to share a quote I recently came across as I believe it summarizes how I feel about Consumer Cellular’s incredible success. Roger Staubach, the Hall of Fame quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, a man who both knew how to be a team player and how to win, once said: “In any team sport, the best teams have consistency and chemistry.”

I couldn’t agree more. That’s why I’m so proud to be part of the Consumer Cellular team, consistently the best team in the industry.

    I am very happy with the customer service, the only problem I have is I dont get reception if I am in the basement or in a school, my husband works in a school and he doesnt receive the calls if he in deep into the school. Otherwise I am happy with Consumer

  9. Marilyn Smith says

    Consumer Cellular is awesome.. Only been with them a short time but very satisfied. And have told others about them and have gotten some to join Consumer..Thank you…..

  10. Robert W. Archer says

    Been a customer for a number of years, service and reception are the best. I tried the data plan but found it very expensive, just setting it up, used almost all of the first 50mb. At that rate, I found by adding more mb”s, the price would be to costly for someone on a fixed income. But still a satisfied customer. Pat is the best with instructions.

    • Irene Cooper says

      Looking into going with Consumer Cellar; however, would be interested in knowing what CC”s response was to this particular comment. My best communications come from texting, so want a plan that has data. Please advise. Thanks.

  11. vivian wiley says

    hello, I really want to try it… need to know more on it…

  12. Phil Krigbaum says

    Can we use the phone we already have?

    • Dominic at Consumer Cellular says

      Hi Phil. Thanks for the question. If you have an unlocked GSM device that accepts a SIM card, we can send you a SIM card for free, to test the service out. If you”re interested in pursuing this option further, please feel free to contact us at 888-345-5509. Thank you.

  13. Robert C. Laurie says

    Have been with CC for quite a while. Service has always been good. In the process of upgrading to another smart phone, probably the LG Escape. But I just learned that the “iphone”
    is coming in a few days. Will probably wait to see what is offered.

  14. Morrie Estrada says

    Excellent service and prices. Keep up the good work, it”s really appreciated.

  15. Lee says

    I”m stuck with my hated verizon for almost 2 years. Was a really,stupid move to renew.Anyone have any ideas how I can get out of the contract???? Really want to switch to Consumer Cellular. Have pnly heard great things about their/your service.Happy Holidays!

  16. Joann says

    I am a realtor and am on the phone and texting about 5 hours a day…sometimes MORE….would you advise a change from Verizon?

  17. Papa GAF says

    Who”s cell towers do you use, there are some that don”t work as good as other companies in my area.

  18. Harris says

    I am currently with ”SPRINT!” Have been with them for about 11 years now. I am considering switching to another carrier. Does ”CC” charge roaming fees? Where I work there a lot of roaming areas with ”SPRINT” and they do not charge me roaming charges. But I need better coverage than ”SPRINT” seems able to provide! I noticed on ”CC”s coverage maps that your company has better coverage areas than ”SPRINT” does because ”CC” uses ”AT&T”s towers! Please advise. Thank You!

    • Dominic at Consumer Cellular says

      Hi Harris. Thanks for the questions. Yes, we used AT&T”s towers. And the good news is we don”t charge roaming fees either. Our customers are free to use their cell phones throughout the country. Thank you.

  19. Shannon Strong says

    Would be appreciated if CC would look into a cell phone service booster for their product. Although CC uses AT&T towers, AT&T boosters are not compatible with CC. I do not have good service at my home and have many dropped calls, texts. With a small business this is not good. I may have to switch to AT&T in order to use a booster. I have called CC multiple times on this. Would be appreciated if there was something CC could do for me before I make the switch!

    • Dominic at Consumer Cellular says

      Thanks for the suggestion, Shannon. I”ll be sure to pass this message along to our management team.

      • Stacey says

        Hi We have the same problem, we get great service everywhere but our house. We can’t get or make calls at all. It looks like it’s been a while since this was posted. Are boosters available yet?

        • Ashley at Consumer Cellular says

          Thank you for asking, Stacey. At this time, we do not have any signal boosters available on our service. If that should change, we will let our customers know via our website and here on the blog. If we can troubleshoot the issue further, or assist you with anything else, please give us a call at 888-345-5509 and we will be happy to help. We appreciate you taking the time to comment, and we hope you have a great day!

  21. Ted Abe says

    I love Consumer Cellular for it’s flexible plan and low rates. I enrolled in Auto-pay a couple of months ago. The only disappointing lack of feature I found was that the website does not have a payment history. This is a great tool for when payment problems happen. Please add this in and I will be a 100% happy customer. Thanks!

    • Dominic at Consumer Cellular says

      Thanks for the suggestion, Ted. I’ll be sure to pass it on to our website development team.

    The Moto G is excellent. Purchased mine from a third party vendor before CC offered it, and I’m very happy with it. Much much better than the Exhilerate previously offered. One problem is the lack of separate volume controls for voice, email and text alerts. However, there are inexpensive apps available for download that fix the problem.
