An article in early December from Consumer Reports<\/em> on how to save on your cell phone bill<\/span><\/span><\/a> cited Consumer Cellular as one of the five ways to save. They recognized us as having the best cell phone plans<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> in “more than one out of three cases.” Specifically, the message said, by choosing Consumer Cellular, cell phone users could save anywhere from $30 to $40 a month over plans from major carriers, an annual savings of three-to-four hundred dollars.<\/p>\n

This is the kind of comment that reaffirms our business model and helps us keep our eye on the prize: affordable cell phone plans<\/em> for all.<\/p>\n

Truth be told, price is only one reason we think our company stands out. Perhaps nowhere is this more noticeable\u2014or appreciated\u2014than in our no-contract policy. Unlike many cell phone service providers, we don\u2019t require customers to sign a two-year contract. Or any contract, for that matter.<\/p>\n

We also don\u2019t believe in penalizing our customers whenever their cell phone usage needs change. Our free Usage Alerts program<\/span><\/span><\/a>, for example, notifies each customer when usage approaches their plan\u2019s limits. We allow customers to upgrade at any point, so they can save money and avoid unnecessary overage fees.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not as if our customers miss out on the latest phone technology, either. They can still get a feature-rich smartphone<\/span><\/span><\/a>, a phone designed from the ground up for texting<\/span><\/span><\/a>, or a handy senior-friendly model<\/span><\/span><\/a> with large buttons and an easy-to-read display. Most economical of all, they can choose a free phone<\/span><\/span><\/a> from none other than world-class manufacturer Motorola.<\/p>\n

Our customers can do everything they\u2019d be doing with a major carrier\u2014only for less. They get the same nationwide coverage. They can choose a phone that fits their lifestyle. And they enjoy friendly, US-based customer service.<\/p>\n

Best of all, our customers save money. Why pay more when you don\u2019t have to?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
