Again.<\/p>\n<p>Again? Yes, we\u2019ve improved our plans NINE times in recent years! And with each enhancement our customers received more free minutes, more free text messages and more free data than they had before. Amazingly enough, while making all these changes we\u2019ve never raised our rates.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">While other companies have been raising rates or shocking their customers with high overage fees, we chose to follow a different path.&nbsp; Instead of charging more, we thought it made more sense to give you more. To meet your increasing cell phone needs, we\u2019ve made our cell phone plans more robust. Depending on which plan you selected, you will receive a free usage increase of anywhere from 20% to 100%.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-2807\" alt=\"NewRate_Icon_Final\" src=\"https:\/\/www.consumercellular.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/NewRate_Icon_Final.png\" width=\"194\" height=\"165\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">As a Consumer Cellular customer, you are allowed to change your plan, without penalty. You may increase or decrease minutes, texts or data on your plan at any time, thus avoiding unexpected overage charges.<\/span>&nbsp;Please see the charts below for specific changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Best of all, even though we enhanced our cell phone plans multiple times over the years, we didn\u2019t raise our prices. Plus, you don\u2019t need to do anything to receive the benefits of these new plans. We\u2019ll automatically upgrade your account for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">I\u2019d like to mention one more key benefit of this change.&nbsp; I believe our new, enhanced rates make it more practical than ever to share your cellular plan with other family members, especially since you\u2019ll have more usage to share. You can add loved ones to your account through our family cell phone plans and leverage the extra minutes, messages and data to your family\u2019s advantage. The real beauty is adding a line is inexpensive and only costs $10 per month per line added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Remember, with our new rates you get more of what you\u2019re already getting and you don\u2019t have to pay extra for it. Some might call that a sweet deal. We call it looking out for our customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-2803\" alt=\"NewRate_BLOG_Image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.consumercellular.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/NewRate_BLOG_Image1.png\" width=\"584\" height=\"584\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m pleased to announce, effective immediately, we\u2019re changing our cell phone plans and rolling out new, enhanced rates.
