By listening to what our customers want, we learn valuable lessons. They help us solve business problems, refine our solutions and meet consumer expectations. Case in point, some iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S users told us they like our affordable cell phone plans<\/a> and service-friendly reputation, but they wanted to keep their existing phone. Fair enough.<\/p>\n

The catch? Their iPhones use a different SIM card design, what\u2019s known as a Micro SIM card. As the name implies, the Micro SIM card is smaller than the SIM card used in most other cell phones, including Consumer Cellular phones.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, some creative customers tried to solve the problem on their own by simply trimming their regular Consumer Cellular SIM card, thinking they could re-size it to fit their iPhone.<\/p>\n

This is not something you want to do or try. SIM cards are very delicate and can be destroyed easily. And since the information on a SIM card is what enables your phone to work with our service, you could be without service until you receive a replacement card.<\/p>\n

Instead, we came up with a better idea: a Dual SIM card<\/a>. This type of SIM card is a full-size card with a die-cut Micro SIM built in. In other words, it will fit your phone, regardless of whether you need a standard SIM card or a Micro SIM card. And it\u2019s easy to use: Simply pop out the Micro SIM and insert it into your iPhone or Android smartphone.<\/p>\n

Our free SIM cards are designed to work with any phone previously used with AT&T or any unlocked GSM phone. So if you want to use our service with a cell phone that isn’t in our lineup, give us a call at 888-345-5509 and we\u2019ll send you a free SIM card<\/strong>. We\u2019ll even pay for the shipping.<\/p>\n

Once you receive your new SIM card, watch our brief video<\/a> on inserting a Dual SIM card or our brief video on inserting a standard SIM card. It\u2019s easy.<\/p>\n

When it comes to keeping you on top of your cell phone needs, we don\u2019t just listen\u2014we respond. That\u2019s why I encourage you to let us know if you have other ideas for improving our service. If it\u2019s a good idea, I promise you it will be given serious consideration. I like to think our customers make our best advisors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
