A partnership that started in 2008 and is still going strong:<\/em><\/p>\n

To succeed a business has to have more than great products and loyal customers; it needs strong relationships with other businesses and organizations. But after so many years in business, I can assure you not all relationships are equal. That\u2019s why I believe the connection between AARP\u00ae and Consumer Cellular is so special.<\/p>\n

Put another way, it is the rare business relationship that seems so perfect it goes together, in the lyrics from a popular Frank Sinatra tune, like a \u201chorse and carriage.\u201d Although our two organizations are not married, we are both committed to providing our members and customers with a long-lasting, rewarding relationship.<\/p>\n

That commitment is a key reason why AARP members receive special benefits when joining Consumer Cellular. We give members a 5 percent discount off their monthly service charges. They also get a 30 percent discount when buying certain accessories for their cell phone or smartphone. And, instead of our regular 30-day money back guarantee, we give AARP members 45 days to try out our service before deciding\u2014risk-free!<\/p>\n

Both AARP and Consumer Cellular serve a mature customer base. As a result, we\u2019re both price sensitive, like to keep things simple, and treat our customers and members with the respect they’ve earned.<\/p>\n

From my vantage point, it\u2019s a formula that works. We hear good things from our AARP customers every day. James in Alabama, for example, said \u201cY\u2019all Rock.\u201d He thanked us for increasing his Connect Plan and not charging more for the increase.<\/p>\n

Out of California, we heard from AARP member Karen who told us our \u201cprice is terrific\u201d and how much she loved her new simple Doro cell phone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ana in Illinois, who found us through AARP, said they’ve been able to save over $1,000 in one year. In her own words, what used to be considered \u201ca high bill is now known as a small bill each month.\u201d<\/p>\n
