      Very easy to do business with them, you can talk to a real person without having to jump through hoops.after a phone call, I was able to add a line, order a phone on the website and everything was simple for simple people like me.

      Consumer Cellular offered the ****** Pixel 10 phone at 1/2 the list price, with easy 24 month payments at 0% APR. (This phone is the #1 choice on NYT's "Wirecutter" product reviews of the best Android Phones.) This seemed to be a great deal!Ordering the phones for my wife and me was very simple: as existing customers, we clicked "upgrade my existing phone" from there website and processed the order in a few minutes. Delivery arrived when expected and in perfect condition.I've often found transferring service to a new phone to be both daunting and time-consuming. Neither was the case, perhaps made even easier because I was transferring a similar make and model device (Pixel 6A), and I was already a Consumer Cellular customer. Smart technology made the transfer of my apps and data from the old phone to the new a breeze. Owing perhaps to today's new online security concerns, most of my apps and secure websites immediately flagged my new phone as an "unknown device." I had to reenter login data and pass security routines to be "recognized", yet actually the hassle gave me confidence that these entities were protecting me, and their portals actively screened "strangers" from having free access to my accounts and data. Pro-Tip: I use 1Password as my secure password vault, so I can use all manner of long, nonsensical passwords and passkeys with no worry of losing or forgetting them. (Again, this is a top-rated app from NYT's "Wirecutter", and other computing websites recommend it and similar tools.)I had to use the online tech service chat on Consumer Cellular's website to activate my visual voicemail, but the service was prompt and very little trouble at my end.I'm very pleased with the new phones, and Consumer Cellular has given us great service at nice prices. I'm a fan!

      Consumer Cellular could not transfer my daughter's cell phone and in the process, the phone number was lost. The *** sent several links to a different phone but the authentication code did not come through. This was elevated to a supervisor who was using a speaker phone and difficult to hear. I was given an authentication test which was deeply flawed because it asked questions that did not remotely pertain to me. There were questions about me living in a city I have never lived in, on a street I've never lived on and a boat I've never had. The questions were flawed and impossible to answer.

      Waiting on new phone to activate the Sim card will give a better rating once the card is activated and using it.
