Re: Choosing a phone company

Well, it was kind of a Christmas present. It was for my wife and if I’m getting 
myself the top-of-the-line iPhone then if I’m trying to get her off the flip 
phone I’m gonna try to get the best phone that I could afford.

I doubt very much and you can buy the latest and greatest Samsung or pixel 
phone for $600 including tax. I know this because at the time my wife and I 
went to Best Buy to look at the latest phones that they were selling and they 
were $900 and up. Well that’s last year‘s phone might have been $800 but this 
phone was $600. You know that folding phone from Samsung is about $2000?

Hi Dennis, I don’t know if our phones I mean the phones in our family an iPhone 
8 plus, and iPhone X and my wife’s 1+6t can use the Verizon towers. I would 
have to call and ask them. Plus, they are a little bit more expensive the

I have not used Consumer  Cellular. But I have been very pleased with service 
through Visible.com. I believe they are a wholly-owned company by Verizon and 
use the Verizon cell network and sell under-used band width. There are two cons 
to consider and many pros.

The cons:
First, support is only available through 24 hour chat on their website or 
through a smart phone app. No email, no phone number.
Second, if service gets congested in your area then your data will be slowed in 
preference to direct Verizon customers. I have noticed this, especially during 
these stay at home months, when in a rural area I frequent. But, service in 
town is very good.

The pros:
* Their plan provides unlimited calls, unlimited texts and unlimited data, 
along with hot spot service with no caps, all for one monthly price of $40 or 
as low as $25. I particularly needed hot spot capability so this feature was a 
big draw; I have not been disappointed.
* That $40 monthly cost will be less if you join a Party Pay group. A Party Pay 
group can have 2 members for a $5 discount per person each month; 3 members for 
$10 discount monthly and 4 members for $15 discount monthly, or only $25. No 
additional fees. There is no catch to joining a Party Pay group. No one shares 
a bill or any other connection except for getting the group discount. I easily 
found an open Party Pay group on Reddit and joined within a few minutes.
* After two months of paying for service they send a virtual MasterCard worth 
$100.

Hi Carolyn, I don't know why you need a store? All you really need is someone

 They offered a monthly payment for an iPhone 11 Pro Max with 256 GB  the

Thank you very much to all of you for responding to my questions.They were all 
useful and informati they were all useful and informative. I was told by one of 
the reps that consumer cellular has all of their call centers in the US this is 
important to me. I know that Verizon and AT have some of their call centers 
outside of the US in addition to the ones in the country.

I have not used Consumer  Cellular. But I have been very pleased with service 
through Visible.com. I believe they are a wholly-owned company by Verizon and 
use the Verizon cell network and sell under-used band width. There are two cons 
to consider and many pros.

The cons:
First, support is only available through 24 hour chat on their website or 
through a smart phone app. No email, no phone number.
Second, if service gets congested in your area then your data will be slowed in 
preference to direct Verizon customers. I have noticed this, especially during 
these stay at home months, when in a rural area I frequent. But, service in 
town is very good.

The pros:
* Their plan provides unlimited calls, unlimited texts and unlimited data, 
along with hot spot service with no caps, all for one monthly price of $40 or 
as low as $25. I particularly needed hot spot capability so this feature was a 
big draw; I have not been disappointed.
* That $40 monthly cost will be less if you join a Party Pay group. A Party Pay 
group can have 2 members for a $5 discount per person each month; 3 members for 
$10 discount monthly and 4 members for $15 discount monthly, or only $25. No 
additional fees. There is no catch to joining a Party Pay group. No one shares 
a bill or any other connection except for getting the group discount. I easily 
found an open Party Pay group on Reddit and joined within a few minutes.
* After two months of paying for service they send a virtual MasterCard worth 
$100.

If you can handle the two minor drawbacks then I think It is a good service 
option.

through a smart phone app. No email, no phone number.
Second, if service gets congested in your area then your data will be slowed in 
preference to direct Verizon customers. I have noticed this, especially during 
these stay at home months, when in a rural area I frequent. But, service in 
town is very good.

The pros:
* Their plan provides unlimited calls, unlimited texts and unlimited data, 
along with hot spot service with no caps, all for one monthly price of $40 or 
as low as $25. I particularly needed hot spot capability so this feature was a 
big draw; I have not been disappointed.
* That $40 monthly cost will be less if you join a Party Pay group. A Party Pay 
group can have 2 members for a $5 discount per person each month; 3 members for 
$10 discount monthly and 4 members for $15 discount monthly, or only $25. No 
additional fees. There is no catch to joining a Party Pay group. No one shares 
a bill or any other connection except for getting the group discount. I easily 
found an open Party Pay group on Reddit and joined within a few minutes.
* After two months of paying for service they send a virtual MasterCard worth 
$100.

If you can handle the two minor drawbacks then I think It is a good service 
option.

I would be glad to refer anyone and I am sure anyone else on the list would

Visible is an awesome company.

I have not used Consumer  Cellular. But I have been very pleased with service 
through Visible.com. I believe they are a wholly-owned company by Verizon and 
use the Verizon cell network and sell under-used band width. There are two cons 
to consider and many pros.

The cons:
First, support is only available through 24 hour chat on their website or 
through a smart phone app. No email, no phone number.
Second, if service gets congested in your area then your data will be slowed in 
preference to direct Verizon customers. I have noticed this, especially during 
these stay at home months, when in a rural area I frequent. But, service in 
town is very good.

The pros:
* Their plan provides unlimited calls, unlimited texts and unlimited data, 
along with hot spot service with no caps, all for one monthly price of $40 or 
as low as $25. I particularly needed hot spot capability so this feature was a 
big draw; I have not been disappointed.
* That $40 monthly cost will be less if you join a Party Pay group. A Party Pay 
group can have 2 members for a $5 discount per person each month; 3 members for 
$10 discount monthly and 4 members for $15 discount monthly, or only $25. No 
additional fees. There is no catch to joining a Party Pay group. No one shares 
a bill or any other connection except for getting the group discount. I easily 
found an open Party Pay group on Reddit and joined within a few minutes.
* After two months of paying for service they send a virtual MasterCard worth 
$100.

If you can handle the two minor drawbacks then I think It is a good service 
option.

I just noticed that Consumer Cellular is offering a $25 bonus to both a 
referring customer and to a new customer at the present time.

 

I would be glad to refer anyone and I am sure anyone else on the list would 
also help.  Ask any of us if interested.

Hey Kelly thank you very much for the information I really appreciate that I 
was looking at it but I did order a Sim from consumer cellular just to try it 
out. I could just take the AT some out and put in the other Sim and see how 
it works. They do a plan with unlimited text and talk and 35 GB of data they 
call there unlimited plan. For around $30. Which I think is very good. But I’ll 
find out how it works.

Re: Choosing a phone company

I’ve dealt with all kinds of customer representatives from AT, Apple, Apple 
disability, Microsoft accessibility, even one plus, my wife’s phone. They all 
have customer representatives who are excellence and those Whoborder on the 
 intellectually challenged or those with a very heavy foreign accent. It was 
very difficult dealing with one plus being that my wife is completely on 
knowledgeable about android and I don’t know or have it figured out how to turn 
on talkback on her phone. It took more than a week back-and-forth with the 
company trying to get them to take the phone to repair it.I think that  Iam  
going to have to buy a cheap android phone just to learn how to use  talk back 
So that I can  help my wife. .

RE: Choosing a phone company

2020-06-15 Thread Carolyn
When I first had Consumer Cellular and got an SE, we couldn't figure what was 
draining my battery. The guy there thought it could be Raise to Wake, directed 
us how to fix that, and it seems like there was something else, well, there 
was, but I can't remember the problem, but he went to applevis.com and figured 
what we should do for that solution.

The only reason that I left them is that they don't have a store here, and 
neither my husband nor I felt confident to do all that needed doing to go from 
one phone to another one.

The Verizon rep told me once you go to another company like those mentioned, 
it's difficult to get help if needed at times. That's one of the reasons I've 
decided to stay with Verizon. Never have I had any trouble receiving help when 
needed.

Check out Best MVNO for the best prepaid deals. The link is at the end
of this message. I currently use Xfinity for my Internet service at
$20 a month and pay $12 for a gig of data and free calls and text from
Xfinity Mobile who uses Verizon.  I don't need my hand held from my
cell hone company, just wireless service so I have no interest in
paying extra for local stores and 24/7 phone customer service.

Yeah, I did find that to be an issue when dealing consumer cellular.  Then 
again, I have found the folks at the Verizon stores not to be very 
knowledgeable.  They may know their specific product that they are selling, but 
no ability to troubleshoot.  I ended up getting the most help from apple

I hear that t mobile is offering some good plans now that they and sprint are

The Verizon rep told me once you go to another company like those mentioned, 
it's difficult to get help if needed at times. That's one of the reasons I've 
decided to stay with Verizon. Never have I had any trouble receiving help when 
needed.

RE: Choosing a phone company

Never used them but know people that have.  The biggest problem is dealing with 
customer service if you ever need to.

are use a company called straight talk. You can sign up at Walmart, if there’s 
one near you. A basic plan is $35 a month, and the coverage is excellent. Good 
luck. Also, their website is very accessible. Straight talk.com, and their tech 
help is also very good.
