Big Wireless has a dirty little secret–are you paying for someone else’s data?

Yeah, we’re saying it: if you’re over 50, you probably don’t need that unlimited plan. Fact: most people 55+ use less than 7-12GB of data a month. So why is everyone on unlimited plans? Big Wireless knows you don’t need all that data…but they need YOU to cover costs of younger people who do.

The Big Wireless “Phone on Us” Myth.

How “on us” puts the onus on you.

Tempted by that ‘Phone on Us” big wireless offer? Sounds pretty great. That is, until you realize that ‘free’ phone usually isn’t free. (Because of course it isn’t.) In fact, it could cost you upwards of $1k…and your phone freedom.

Here’s how their big catch works: They’ll give you monthly credits to pay down your phone’s balance—sometimes over three years. When you’re fed up with their shenanigans and switch carriers, you’re slapped with a bill for the balance. So, ‘free’ really means ‘no freedom. And that could mean spending years paying a lot more for wireless—up to of $1k more than if you were with Consumer Cellular.

For example, let’s say you get a ‘free’ iPhone 17 from Verizon, with Ultimate Unlimited. Over 36 months, you’d end up paying about $2,150 just for your wireless service.

With Unlimited at Consumer Cellular, you’d save over $1,100 comparatively—more, if you trade in your device when you switch. Eleven hundred dollars? That’s significant, especially right now.

We keep it simple. No long-term contracts. Affordable plans that fit your lifestyle and budget and EasyPay for interest-free monthly payments. 100% U.S.-based real people when you need help. And phones as low as $59. Now that’s a deal.

The Mint Math Ain’t Mathin’.

Sure, you can find a wireless plan for $15/mo. Well, kind of.

Your first few months might be $15, but you’ll pay for all three months in advance–yeah, before you even use it. Imagine being asked to pay three months of your mortgage or rent up front. Why do they require advance payment? Doesn't sound like they trust you. Nice.

At Consumer Cellular, we do things differently. We shoot straight. No need to prepay for months or years at a time. No long-term contracts. Just premium wireless service at a fraction of big wireless prices.

Come on over, switching’s easy.

5G > Wi-Fi
(and why Big Cable doesn’t want you to know)

Considering Big Cable for your wireless plan? Know this: though cable companies boast about their 5G coverage, most wireless cable customers aren’t using 5G. They’re using the Wi-Fi network. 90% of Xfinity customers, in fact.

3 reasons why that matters:

1. Call quality. Wi-Fi call signals can be throttled and have slower connection speeds than 5G. Ever connect to a public Wi-Fi network in a busy place and everything slows waaaay down? Same thing can happen to your calls.

2. Battery life. Wanna drain your battery faster than ever? Use Wi-Fi calling.

3. Mobile hotspots aren’t everywhere. Sure, they make using public Wi-Fi easy so you don’t have to use your data plan, but they’re not always available.

Consumer Cellular’s 5G coverage is fast, reliable, and nationwide. In fact, we consistently score high amongst big wireless for cell reception. And, we’ll never push you to use Wi-Fi calling instead of 5G.
