I\u2019m a big believer in giving customers as many options as possible, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumercellular.com\/shopping\/choose\/plan\"><b>cell phone plans<\/b><\/a> to cell phones to increasing their minutes on the fly, as their needs change. It\u2019s also why we don\u2019t require customers to sign contracts. Let\u2019s face it, locking a person into a cell phone contract is not exactly customer-friendly and, in fact, only serves to limit their options.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019d like to take a moment to talk about a new option for cell phone users, especially thos<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-YEqfzs_I8ig\/Tk66zlyW65I\/AAAAAAAAAGY\/NNiOroXbGY0\/s640\/radioshack.jpg\" style=\"width: 320px; float: right; height: 223px\">e in rural communities. Consumer Cellular recently partnered with RadioShack\u00ae, a leading provider of innovative technology products and services for over ninety years. I\u2019m proud to announce that we\u2019re in more than 200 RadioShack franchise stores, nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a prospect or a current customer, you can walk into a nearby franchise, talk to a knowledgeable clerk and try our cell phones, up close and personal, before purchasing. To help you find a participating RadioShack (or Sears) store near you, please use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumercellular.com\/storelocator\">store locator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, when you buy your Consumer Cellular phone in a store, you get the same benefits as if you had purchased it directly from us, such as our no-risk, money-back guarantee and special discounts for AARP members.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, starting your service couldn\u2019t be any easier. After you buy your phone, just call our customer support for immediate <b>cell plan<\/b> activation. They\u2019ll take care of the rest. Or, here\u2019s another option: you can even activate your phone yourself, whenever you\u2019re ready, from home or on the road, by simply going to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumercellular.com\/store\">activation site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, having options is deeply engrained in the American culture, no matter where you live or what you\u2019re buying. We get it. Consumer Cellular is all about giving customers more choices and affordable cell phone plan options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ever driven across country, I\u2019m sure you were amazed at the vast differences in geography you experienced, as well as the wide diversity of America itself.
