Nine out of ten Americans possess a cell phone. With such extensive coverage, it\u2019s no surprise that some cell phone users, whether intentional or not, can be rude in public. That\u2019s one reason why the month of July has been designated as National Cell Phone Courtesy Month.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re probably wondering, is it even possible to use a cell phone in public and not be rude?<\/p>\n

Yes, it is. In fact, it\u2019s very easy. According to Jacqueline Whitmore, the founder of Nation\"\"al Cell Phone Courtesy Month, it\u2019s as simple as being aware of your surroundings and respecting the rights of others. That\u2019s pretty much all it takes. If you want specific tips and tricks on using your cell phone in public, I encourage you to check out our recent press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Courtesy is a designation that\u2019s close to my heart. In fact, I consider “courtesy” to be the \u201cthird C” in our name.<\/p>\n

I also believe cell phone courtesy is more than simply putting a cell phone on vibrate mode or not shouting in public.  It\u2019s about treating our customers right by keeping our cell phone plan<\/a> prices affordable and making our invoices transparent and easy to read. It\u2019s our free Usage Alerts program that automatically notifies each customer when he or she approaches their plan\u2019s limit. It\u2019s allowing our customers to increase their plan\u2019s limits at any time, enabling them to avoid unnecessary overage fees. And it\u2019s our service agents going the extra mile for customers.<\/p>\n

Clearly, this commitment has paid off. Every day we receive rave comments from grateful customers. In fact, one customer recently told us we should open a Compliments Department.<\/p>\n

Consumer Cellular is rated the #1 no-contract, wireless cell phone plan service provider in the nation!<\/p>\n

I like to think courtesy has a lot to do with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
