Consumer Cellular was recently honored as the best overall cellphone service for seniors by Clark.com<\/a>. They tested Consumer Cellular for 30 days and compared us to more than 70 different phone plans to see how we held up. They looked at five factors to determine what company had the best cellphone service; these factors included plans and pricing, activation process, call and text performance, data speeds, and customer service. Here is a summary of what they found!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plans and Pricing<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clark.com chose to test our 1GB plan for 30 days. They reported that we have six different plans to choose from and that “you can save at Consumer Cellular by adding multiple lines.” Clark.com also reported, “if you exceed your data limit with any other plan, you’ll automatically be upgraded to the next plan.” In addition, they discovered that if you are an AARP member, you’re eligible for 5% off your monthly service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activation Process<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They reported that “selecting a phone plan and activating your service with Consumer Cellular is really easy to do.” They went through the process of choosing the $20 plan, added it to their cart, and instead of buying a new phone, they chose “Bring Your Own Phone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once they received their instructions in the mail, they mentioned, “Consumer Cellular definitely came with the most detailed guide on how to activate and maintain your account. There were step-by-step instructions on how to test your service, how to check your usage throughout, a breakdown of your bill, and more.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call and Text Performance<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 30 days, they tried out our service by making and receiving phone calls as well as sending and receiving text messages. “I had reliable, clear service the majority of the time with no dropped calls or undelivered text messages.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They mentioned, “If you visit Consumer Cellular’s website<\/a>, you can enter your address, state, or ZIP code to see if you’ll have service in your area. You can also see a full list of available 5G venues.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data Speeds<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They reported that we offer access to AT&T and T-Mobile’s 4G LTE\/5G networks, and “it’s safe to say you’ll likely have reliable access to data with Consumer Cellular.” They tested our data speeds using speedtest.net, reporting that “the download speed was usually around 35Mbps. The fastest download speed I saw was 50.62Mbps while the slowest download speed I saw was 17.27Mbps.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Clark review states, “Consumer Cellular’s high-speed data is fast enough to do most things online, including streaming standard video.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer Service<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To test our award-winning customer service, they reached out to us via phone and online, “The representatives I talked to actually were really friendly. Both representatives were very kind, positive, patient, and helpful.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Clark review ended by saying, “Ultimately, I had a great experience testing out Consumer Cellular. I had great service and coverage for the month that I tested it, and the data speeds were fast enough to stream video content. I didn’t experience any dropped calls or undelivered text messages, and contacting customer service was fast, easy, and pleasant.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
