Consumer Cellular customers no longer have to worry about their mobile usage-we&#8217;ll watch it for them.&nbsp; With our exclusive new Usage Alert service, we will continually monitor our customer&#8217;s voice, messaging and data usage. When we see it reaching the amount included in their wireless plan, we&#8217;ll send an alert- by email or text.&nbsp; Customers can then either change their plan or adjust their usage habit to avoid any overages. Alerts are sent by phone, text or e-mail, and customers can choose when they&#8217;re alerted&nbsp;&#8211; at 75, 100, 125 or 150 percent of their monthly plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Once they receive the alerts, customers have the option to either:<br \/>\nPace their usage; or<br \/>\nUpgrade their wireless plan to better fit their lifestyle and avoid overage fees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">As always, what&#8217;s important to Consumer Cellular customers is important to us. Remember, there is no need for you to sign up for this new service to benefit from it. The only thing worse than a long term cell phone contract is getting a huge bill. We&#8217;ve never had a contract, now we will help make sure our customers do not get surprised by a huge bill ever again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">To learn more, visit: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumercellular.com\/WhyUs\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">www.ConsumerCellular.com\/WhyUs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #000000\">.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumercellular.com\/Info\/Usage_Alerts\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every now and again, we all use our cell phones more than we should.&nbsp; Whether we exceed our voice, text or data plan, very few of us think to check our mobile usage before we get a bill chock-full of overages.
