With our free SIM cards, you can keep your current phone and still subscribe to Consumer Cellular:<\/em><\/p>\n

By now, most of us know the value of a SIM card, that small rectangular piece of magic that fits in the back of a cell phone.  It\u2019s a little computer chip that stores a lot of data, everything from your list of contacts to the text messages you’ve sent or received. Not only that, a SIM card is used to activate a phone. Clearly, the card is a very important cell phone component and pretty powerful stuff.<\/p>\n

The good news is we\u2019re offering free<\/span> SIM cards that enable you to take advantage of a Consumer Cellular plan<\/a>. If you or your friends would like to keep your current cell phone but want to switch your service to Consumer Cellular, now you can do both: keep your phone, get our service.<\/p>\n

Using a Consumer Cellular SIM card is a simple process. Generally, if you have a phone previously used with AT&T or an unlocked GSM model which accepts a SIM card, we can send you one of our free SIM cards. Simply slide the old SIM out of your current phone and insert the new one. After a brief activation process, you\u2019ll be good to go. If you have problems, don\u2019t forget to check out our free online how-to video<\/a>. The video walks you through the simple steps required to swap out cards.<\/p>\n

The beauty is\u2026 thanks to our free SIM card offer and our long-standing referral <\/a>program<\/a>, there\u2019s never been a better time to recommend Consumer Cellular to other cell phone users. And when they subscribe to our cellular plan, you\u2019ll both receive a $10 credit as a referral bonus.<\/p>\n

After listening to many customers over the years, I know how hard it is to give up a particular cell phone you’ve mastered and enjoy using. You carry your cell phone with you every day. Chances are it never leaves your side, purse, or pocket\u2014unless it\u2019s being used. Before long, your phone has become a close friend, one you don\u2019t want to lose.<\/p>\n

\n

Change is never easy. That\u2019s why I\u2019m pleased to announce this free SIM card program. When it comes to cellular plans, products and customer service, it\u2019s the best of both worlds. You get to keep what\u2019s comfortable, and we get to do what we do best: provide the #1 rated cellular service in the nation.<\/p>\n
