I always enjoy talking about a new product or service. Part of our mission, here at Consumer Cellular, is to stay on top of technological changes in the wireless communications business.
That’s why in this blog post, I’m pleased to let you know about another new addition to our product line: the Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate. It’s a mid-range yet feature-rich Android device at only half the price of our upper-end LG model. Although the Exhilarate costs less ($150), it still comes with plenty of features and a speedy dual-core processor.
Let me just mention a few of the things you get with this device. The Exhilarate has a 4.0-inch display with 800 x 480 pixels, and uses Samsung’s Super AMOLED technology, which means you can easily see the display, even in bright daylight.
It comes with two cameras: a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera for taking photos and videos, as well as a front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera for video chats. Of course, it gives you a full complement of smartphone features, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, GPS, MP3 music player, customizable home screens, and more.
The Exhilarate runs on a strong battery with a dependable charge. It also delivers excellent voice quality, striking the right balance of volume and quality.
Most of all, I am very pleased to introduce you to the Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate because it is an ideal fit for our corporate and customer service goals. As many of you know, we’re very “green” conscious at Consumer Cellular and have made recycling a major driving force at our company.
The Exhilarate is an eco-friendly device and one of the few to have earned an Environmentally Preferable Platinum certification from Underwriters Laboratories (UL®). It’s made from 80% recycled post-consumer materials, but you wouldn’t know it because the device is so well designed it feels solid in your hand. Plus, the Exhilarate comes with an energy-efficient charger.
In sum, the Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate is an eco-friendly, mid-range, no contract smartphone that delivers great bang for the buck. Please visit our phones page on our website for more details of the Exhilarate and your other choices.
It’s our job to seek out and evaluate better wireless phone options for our customers. We do that so you don’t have to.
Will your Sim cards still work in my older phone (Huawei 8800) ? I will be a new customer in July and wanted to keep my “old” phone. Thanks!!
Kathy, thank you for your question. Was the Huawei purchased through us? If so, then yes. It will surely work. If you purchased the phone elsewhere, it should work as long as it is an unlocked GSM phone. You may call us at 1-800-686-4460 and we would be happy to discuss your options with you.
Thank you Tina. Once our contract with TMo is up, I will be calling. Thanks for a quick reply!
Are the Samsung and Huawei compatable with sending and receiving text and pictures from someone with a verizon Iphone?
Hello, Beth. Yes, you can send/receive pictures and text from the Samsung and Huawei to the iPhone.
Which version of Android OS does it come with? Ice Cream Sandwhich, Jelly Bean?
Thank you for the question, Sami. The Galaxy comes with Android 4.0 – Ice Cream Sandwich.
Thanks for consummer cellular, we have saved a lot by switching to consummer cell phones . My husband and I share the 350 plan. Thanks to consummer cellular.
And word on possible 4g?
We don't currently offer 4g speeds however our new LG 930 has the highest speed of any of our phones with its dual-core processor. It's amazingly fast! You can see all our available phones here https://www.consumercellular.com/shopping/choose/device
Hello,
I would like to know if the Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate phone is available to purchase in any store in Orange County, CA?
Thank you,
Diana
Thank you for your question. At this time we do not offer the Exhilarate at our retail partner locations but if you order the phone through us, it only takes a few days for us to get it to you.
I would like to know if the Samsung Exhilarate is a GSM unlocked phone that can be used by another carrier besides Consumer Cellular?
Thank you for your question. Consumer Cellular cannot guarantee that our phones will work on another service and we do not sell our phone without signing up for service. If you would like to hear about our great plans and services, please call us at 1-800-686-4460
I love my galaxy exhilarate and the Consumer Cellular plan saves us a great deal. However, we travel to Europe every year and would like to avoid having to purchase an international phone for a few weeks each year. Is it possible to use an international SIM card in my phone?
We’re so glad to hear that you love your phone, Nicolene. It doesn’t sound like an international SIM card would be the best fit for your phone. You can put your phone in Airplane mode, and still be able to use Wi-Fi to check email, or even use apps like Google Hangouts that will allow you to send instant messages using Wi-Fi. We’re happy to talk with you about your options, just give us a call at 888-345-5509. Thank you for taking the time to comment, and we hope you have a wonderful time in Europe!
does exhilarate have talk to text feature?
Yes it does. Thanks for asking, Linda. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to give us a ring at 888-345-5509. Thank you.
I was wondering if they all say consumer cellular on them? Not a huge fan of the lettering as it distracts from the nice looking phone
Hi Mitchell. Thanks for the question. You can change the wallpaper to anything you wish. Most people change their wallpaper so it displays a picture they”ve taken. You don”t have to keep the Consumer Cellular wallpaper that is pre-loaded on the phone. Thank you.
