      By no stretch of an aging octogenarian's immagination is this phone service beneficial to the senior population. Prior to this review posing, I had 3phone lines: a main-land line; a cellular and Consume Cellular's Grandpad line. (1) Due to continous aggravation related to erroneous SIM card network surcharges and an inability to restore Grandpad usage via customer service tech, I cancelled that line. Haughtiness is not a postive attribute when disseminating infomation to the mindset of "greates generation". Also I consider it extremely disingenous for techinical sevice ***** to suggest: 'get someone younger to help you'. How does that translate to being senior friendly customer experience? (2) Most importantly, I do not have access to account payment statement. Billing is not transparent. I've been repeatedly blocked out of my account. Make me understand how billing has no trouble knowing account profile info when deducting autopay but yet account login can not find info allowing me to view your deductions. Tech after tech solutions have lacked competency and consistancy. Back in the day these kind of actions were considered those of 'grifters' and that is not what I thought your company to be when I signed up and joined many years ago. However, too many recent tech snafus have occurred in connection with billing transparency to not signal red flags!!! Please advise me (as of 08/27/24): What immediate actions related to this matter is Consumer Cellular prepared to utilize to earnestly alleviate my concerns?

      I had a great experience with Consumer Cellular. When I developed a problem with my old phone **** L was very helpful and very nice . When I found out that I would need a new phone I received it quickly and have no complaints or problems. I would have no problems it encouraging anyone to use Condumer Cellular when the needed a new phone or new phone service.

      So I called first time for setup assistance and the lady apparently was eating her lunch during our call - the entire call, the noise was sickening. She basically told us we would need to do a manual transfer of all my data. ************************************************************************************ activated on new phone either. So then I need my phone since she deactivated my old phone and we had to call again. We got a a very knowledgeable guy who not only got me activated on new phone, but also showed me how to transfer all my data in 5 minute. Frankly put, the lady is not an asset to your company - she failed me and you. The gentleman on the other hand was amazing, an attribute to your organization. And nobody offered me the three months free service for activating a new phone? Why not - we were supposed to just call and get it. Consumer are you getting too big??
