Hi Ashley, while you’re at it, do you know when the iPhone 7 will be released, and will consumer cellular offer that version, when it’s released or soon thereafter? I would like to upgrade now, however if a new version is going to be released this year, I’d rather wait until then.
Thank you for posting, Lucy. At this time, we don’t know when the iPhone 7 will be released. Once the product is announced by Apple, we will have more information into the availability and time-frame for purchase. In general, we do our best to support our iPhone customers with the latest models available. If we can answer any other questions you may have, we’re happy to do so over the phone at 888-345-5509. We appreciate you taking the time to post, and we hope you have a wonderful day!

Does Consumer Cellular plan to offer the new Iphone SE? If not, will the Iphone SE work on the CC network if I purchase elsewhere?
Great question, Dan. We will be offering the iPhone SE, but an unlocked GSM version from the Apple store should work with our SIM card. Just choose the option that is most convenient for you! We’re happy to answer any other questions you may have at 888-345-5509. Thank you for posting!

Wow! What a deal! I might actually be able to afford an iPhone now
Will this special on the Apple iphone 5s, 16GB still be in place through Sept.1st. I am on a plan till then and want to be a member with you.
Thank you for asking, Perry. Our iPhone 5s promotion is for a limited time, so we can’t guarantee that any will still be available in September. We do have plenty of other affordable options available, so when you’re ready to switch, we’re happy to help you select the perfect device for your needs. If we can answer any questions about our service, we’re happy to do so at 888-345-5509. Thank you for posting!
The apple 5s is an outdated phone of little value in today’s world, if you want better Consumer Cellular will charge you double, the higher same phone price in the apple SE, you think they would give you the SE for the 5s price as they are same phone with better tech.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your opinion, Bert. The iPhone 5s is a wonderful smartphone, and the new iPhone SE is a high-powered device in a smaller package. We’re excited to offer both options to our customers. Thank you for taking the time to post today, and we hope you have a great day!
My data usage on my phone shows usage on virtually every app I have. Some I have not used, and whenever I downloaded data I have done it over WiFi. Can you explain, please
Thank you for reaching out to us, Don. When you’re away from home or another Wi-Fi source, some apps on your phone may attempt to update, which is likely the data usage you are seeing. You can prevent that from happening by restricting background data. Background data is used by some apps even when you haven’t opened them. To prevent this from happening, open your Settings app, then select Data Usage. You’ll see three dots in the upper right-hand corner, which you’ll need to tap. Select “Restrict background data”, then confirm your choice by pressing “OK”. That’s it! If we can answer any other questions you may have, or walk you through this process, we’re happy to do so at 888-345-5509. We appreciate you taking the time to post today!
I thought the phone was just $10-dollars per month??
Thank you for asking, Steve. Our plans start at just $10 a month, and we offer a variety of choices depending on how much you use your cell phone. You can view our plans here to see all the options available to you. We also offer interest-free payment plans for some of our more expensive devices. This allows you to make one small payment, then add $25 to your monthly bill until the device is paid for in full. If we can answer any questions or recommend a plan, please call us at 888-345-5509. We appreciate you taking the time to post today, and we hope you have a wonderful day!
Who is Consumer cellular phone service through?
Thank you for asking, Charlene. We offer service on two of the largest nation-wide networks, so you have service almost everywhere you want to go. You can view coverage in your area by going to ConsumerCellular.com/Coverage. We’re happy to help you over the phone as well at 888-345-5509. We appreciate you taking the time to post today!
With the Apple iPhones, you can buy them through Consumer Cellular, with the appropriate down payment and special 0% financing (set amount added to your monthly bill over a set period of months), but you cannot buy them directly at any of the nearby Apple Stores with the same financing, correct?
That’s correct, Pete. You can only get EasyPay by calling us, purchasing the iPhone from our site or by going to your local Target store. We’re happy to help you get started at 888-345-5509 whenever you’re ready. Thank you for the question, and we hope you have a great day!
I am interested in the 5S Apple phone that yo are offering. What is the difference between 16GB and 32GB. I know that the 5S is 16GB. What does GB mean and what does it relate to? Thanks Marilyn
That’s a great question, Marilyn. The iPhone 5s comes in two options, one with 16GB of memory and one with 32GB of memory. GB stands for gigabytes, which reflects the amount of space available on the phone for photos, music and books. If you prefer to store a lot of videos or songs on your phone, you may prefer the option with more memory. We’re happy to answer any other questions you may have at 888-345-5509. Thank you for taking the time to post today!
How about offering some Samsung Galaxy phones I never want a iphone…
Thank you for commenting, Paul. We aren’t currently offering any Samsung devices, but our SIM card is a great fit with an unlocked GSM version of most Galaxy devices. We know that some of our customers, like yourself, may prefer a different device. Our SIM card allows you to have the phone you want and still experience our award-winning service. If we can get a SIM card on the way to you, or if we can answer any question, please feel free to call us at 888-345-5509. We appreciate you taking the time to comment, and we hope you have a great day!
Are the phones you offer brand new in the box or are they refurbished?
Thank you for asking, Stephanie! We sell our phones brand-new, in box. We do also offer some devices at a discount that are in good condition, but have been used for a short time. If you’re interested in that option, we’re happy to talk with you at 888-345-5509. We appreciate you taking the time to comment today!
If I sign up and buy an phone 5s how will I transfer the data from my old i phone 4 to the new phone
Good question, Dan! It’s very simple to transfer your information simply by using your Apple ID. First, you’ll want to make sure that you’ve backed everything up on your previous iPhone using iCloud. Then, just follow the steps to login to your new device. Your contacts, apps and messages will automatically transfer over. We’re happy to help you with the process at 888-345-5509. Thank you for posting, and we’re sure you’ll love the iPhone 5s!
Do you have any idea when the 64 gb iPhone SE in space gray will be back in stock?
Thank you for asking, James. At this time, we don’t have an exact date at which time we will receive more of the 64GB devices. You can purchase the iPhone SE in a variety of options at your local Target store, if that is more convenient. Just look for the Consumer Cellular section in the Mobile/Technology department. They can help you purchase and activate your iPhone SE, and you can even sign up for our EasyPay interest-free plan while you’re there. If we can answer any questions for you, please feel free to call us at 888-345-5509. We appreciate you taking the time to post, and we hope you have a great day!
I am considering the Iphone5S 16gb. With my current data plan, will I get by without overage from this type of smart phone?
That’s a great question, Linda. It really depends on how you use it. If you use Wi-Fi primarily, you will be able to listen to music, watch videos and check e-mail without using data from your plan. If you plan to use it on-the-go and in areas where you don’t have Wi-Fi, you may need to adjust your plan. That’s the great thing about our service— you can change your plan at any time. You can always move to a plan with more data, then go back to a smaller plan at the end of your billing cycle if you find that you really didn’t need as much data as you thought. You can also check our our blog here to get an idea of how much data your favorite activities are using. We’re happy to help you get that new iPhone on the way to you at 888-345-5509. Thank you for posting today!
Since I am new to considering a smart phone if I purchase one from Consumer cellular how do I access the internet and is it available from Consumer cellular plus the cost please.
We’re glad to hear you’re considering a smartphone, Bill. They can be a lot of fun, and they provide a great deal of convenience when you’re on the go. All of the smartphones we offer have the ability to access the internet, so there are many options available for you. You will need one of our text and data plans regardless of the phone you choose. We have a great new smartphone, the Doro SmartEasy 824, which was designed to be the perfect smartphone for first time users. You can learn more about it here. We’re also happy to talk with you over the phone to determine which features you would like best in a smartphone, and make a recommendation. Just give us a call at 888-345-5509, and we’ll be ready to answer any of your questions. Thank you for posting today, and we look forward to speaking with you!
I need to contact service/technology re my phone and my phone isn’t working. Will someone contact me asap by email? Thanks.
We’re sorry to hear that your phone isn’t working, Vicky. I looked at your account, and I see that you sent us an email with more details. We will be sending you an email reply shortly with the next steps to help you contact SquareTrade and replace your device. Thank you for reaching out to us, and we look forward to assisting you!
Does the chargers come free if I order the smart phone?
Thank you for asking, Joyce! Each of our phones come complete with a wall charger. You won’t need to purchase one separately. We’re happy to answer any other questions you may have at 888-345-5509, and we can even make a phone recommendation based on your needs if you like! We appreciate you taking the time to post today, and we hope you have a great day.
Wow, how wonderful for people who love iphones. Personally, I don’t care for anything made by Apple, but I love anything Google. So, what a shame that such a wonderful cellular company cannot offer equivalent equipment for Android users!
Thank you for commenting, Stephen. We do our best to provide a variety of options for our Android and iPhone customers, so keep an eye out for similar deals on Android devices in the future! We’ll always keep you up-to-date with new products and promotions here on the blog. We appreciate you taking the time to post, and we hope you have a wonderful day!
Can you please tell me if their are any cases for the Doro824 smart easy phone. Either online or in the stores available yet?
We apologize, Christine, at this time we don’t have a case available. Our team is working on this issue, and I’ll be happy to notify you when they are ready. Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to speaking with you!
Can you please tell me what the terms locked and/or unlocked mean? I am considering the iPhone 5s and want that point clarified. Also, my data is never used. What do I do to tap into my data allowance? As you see, I am not exactly computer literate, but have had an iPhone 3G S for a long time. Thank you.
We’re happy to answer your questions, Ute. Most smartphones are locked to a certain carrier, meaning that they will only work when connected to that carrier’s towers. If a phone is unlocked, it can be used with various carriers. It is common for people to request that their phone be unlocked if they change carriers, so they will still be able to use their device. Our SIM card works well with unlocked phones, so our customers won’t have to buy a brand new phone if they have one that is working well for them. We always caution our customers that the only way to guarantee a phone will work with our service is if you purchase it directly from us, but in most cases, their previous phone works well with our SIM card and service.
If you want to use data from your plan, you’ll just need to make sure the data function is enabled on your device. This can usually be found in the Settings app under Cellular for an iPhone. We’re happy to walk you through it at 888-345-5509. Then you’ll be surfing the internet in no time at all! Thank you for taking the time to comment, and we hope you have a wonderful day!
Thank you, Ashley, this is very helpful. I want to use the iPhone myself for a while but it will eventually be turned over to a friend who might be with another carrier. When I order the iPhone 5s can I specify that I want it unlocked?
Good question, Ute. We are not able to unlock the phone upon ordering, but can unlock it after you’ve been with us for some time. When you’re ready to unlock it at a later date, we’ll be happy to do that for you. We’ll just need to talk with you over the phone, so please call us at 888-345-5509. Thank you for posting your question, and we hope you enjoy getting to know your new iPhone!
Another question, Ashley. The description of the iPhone says that LTE is available in “select markets and through certain carriers”. What exactly is LTE and is it available through Consumer Cellular, since you are my carrier. I live in Central Florida, is that one of the select markets? I am ready to order the phone upon finding out about LTE. Thanks.
Thank you for asking, Ute. LTE coverage is available in much of Central Florida. We’re happy to look at your address and give you an idea of your coverage expectations. LTE is a very fast form of wireless data, meaning that your data connection will be especially strong and pages will load faster when you’re connected to LTE. When you’re ready, just give us a call at 888-345-5509. We will be happy to confirm your coverage and help you order that new iPhone. We appreciate you posting, and we look forward to talking with you!

I am currently a CC customer with the Motorola E model that you sell. I have an older Samsung flip phone that I used as an ATT customer before switching to CC. Is there a sim card that will allow my old Samsung to work with the CC service? I intend to continue using the Motorola phone, but would like to fire up my old Samsung as a CC backup.
That’s a great question, David. Our All-in-One SIM card allows you to use three different SIM card sizes. Most likely, your older phone uses the larger, standard SIM card size. Please give us a call at 888-345-5509 at your convenience, and we will be happy to help you get the additional pieces you need to give you that flexibility. I’m sure you’ll rest easier knowing you have a backup if you need it. We appreciate you taking the time to post, and we hope you have a great day!
How do you count the text (per word) and how do you count the minutes. Thinking seriously thinking abt trying this service. Am currently using ATT’s GoPhone.
Those are great questions, Donna, and we’re glad to hear that you are considering our service. Texts are counted by sent messages, though if your message exceeds 144 characters, it may be split into multiple messages. As for minutes, any time spent on a call is counted against your monthly plan. Since our plans allow you to adjust at any time, most of our customers end up saving money compared to their previous carrier. We’re happy to talk with you about your usage and recommend a plan to fit your needs. Just give us a call at 888-345-5509 at your convenience. Thank you for taking the time to post here on the blog, and we look forward to saving you money!

Thank you for asking! We will be offering the iPhone 7 to our customers soon. Please keep an eye on our site for more information soon, and thank you again for posting today!

Thanks for asking, Steven! We will be offering iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus soon, so keep an eye out for more information on pricing and availability on our site, or on our social media pages. We appreciate you checking in!
Do you know when the iPhone 7 will be offered by Consumer Cellular?
Great question, Maddy! The iPhone 7 will be offered to our customers soon, so please look for more information shortly. Thanks for posting!
Do you have any idea when the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus will be back in stock? I was going to switch to Consumer when my current Sprint contract ends, but I don’t want an iPhone 6
Thank you for asking, Andy. We are expecting more iPhone 7 devices soon, so please check our website to for the most up-to-date information. We’re also happy to let you know which models are available at 888-345-5509.

We appreciate you posting today, and hope to see you as a Consumer Cellular customer soon!
Are there any Apple Iphone 5s left? A few month’s ago I was told by a customer service rep that there were but didn’t need it then.
Thanks for asking, Ronald. At this time, we don’t have the iPhone 5s available. We do currently offer the iPhone SE, which is a great deal. You can learn more about it here on our website. If you like, we can also assist you over the phone at 888-345-5509. We appreciate you taking the time to post today!
I have the iPhone 5s, but since switching to Consumer Cellular it’s been constant problems. I’m hoping it’s the SIM card because first I bought a Motorola from CC and only about half my calls came through so I found I could unlock my iPhone 5s from USCC and CC told me I could use the same SIM card. I’ve had CC service send updates but still most calls go right to voicemail and phone never rings. Now it keeps going to No Service and NO SIM Card. I’ve tried all the tricks but nothing fixes it. Is it the phone or the SIM card? I hate to buy another phone if it’s just the card, but if I have to I’d like to do it while you still have the SE’s since the same covers will fit it. Any suggestions?
Thank you for posting, Donna. It could be that your SIM card isn’t fully in place. Please try checking the SIM card to make sure it is fully seated in the slot, then restart your phone. If the issues continue, a new SIM card may resolve the issue. Just give us a call at 888-345-5509 and we can get one sent out to you. We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us!
I see you are out of stock on iPhone 6s. When will it become available?
Thank you for asking, George. We will update our site as more device become available, but we aren’t able to provide an exact date at this time. The best thing to do is check our site periodically, or give us a call at 888-345-5509. We appreciate you posting, and we hope you have a lovely day!
Question: why did you raise the price from $10-$15?
Also, every plan you guys have, gives you unlimited talk and text? Is that true? Another question: do you need to buy connect plan when you buy a smartphone? What is a connect plan? What if I want text but no data?
Just asking these questions because I want to buy an iPhone se from you guys.
We’re happy to answer your questions, PJ. We recently simplified our plans so that we can provide more value to our customers. We offer two Talk plan options, one with 250 minutes and the other with unlimited minutes. All of our Connect plans come with unlimited text messaging, so if you don’t want to use very much data, you can choose the smallest plan. We don’t have an option for texting without data at this time. You don’t have to have a Connect plan with your smartphone, but we highly recommend one so that you can enjoy many of the features your device has to offer. If you’re looking to learn more about our plans and the iPhone SE, please give us a call at 888-345-5509 and we will be happy to assist you. Thanks for taking the time to comment, and we look forward to speaking with you!
What does 250 minutes mean? Does it mean I have 250 minutes of calling?
Thanks for asking, PJ. We offer two Talk plans, one with 250 minutes and the other with unlimited. If you choose the 250 minute plan, you’ll have 250 minutes to use each billing cycle. If you go over that, you’ll automatically be upgraded to unlimited minutes. You can see the options here on our Plans page. And of course, if you have any other questions, please give us a call at 888-345-5509. We’re always happy to help! We appreciate you posting today!
are all your phones brand new or just refurbished ones?
Thank you for the question, Javier. All of our phones are factory new, unless otherwise stated. We do not refurbish any of our phones, but we occasionally offer certified risk-free return models of our phones. These phones have been returned back to us in like-new condition within our Risk-Free Guarantee, and have been fully inspected.
It’s truly very complex in this active life to listen news
