"The overall process was excellent."
The overall process was satisfactory, but the automatic part could use some improvement. I transferred three lines from Verizon, one with a new phone from your company, one older iPhone that required a SIM card, and a newer iPhone that needed an eSim. However, I received the new phone and two SIM cards, but did not receive the eSim email as indicated in the form. Eventually, I was able to resolve the issue with the help of Customer Service.
The automated form requested a PIN/password, which I provided. However, I later found out from Customer Service that I needed to call Verizon and obtain a 'porting PIN'.
Overall, it was okay and I appreciate the assistance, but a few adjustments could have saved me several hours of telephone time on Monday.

"Everything went great."
Everything went smoothly! Virginia was incredibly helpful in assisting my husband, and she was absolutely fantastic! She truly deserves a raise for her outstanding support. She dedicated a significant amount of time to assist us, and we greatly appreciate it.

"Just got my hands on the new phone and it's time to get back to business."
The phone arrived promptly and in impeccable condition. I was able to get it set up and running smoothly with just a few simple steps. The new phone appears to be functioning as advertised. We have now bought phones from Consumer Cellular four times, and they have never failed to meet our expectations.

"I highly recommend utilizing either Fedex or UPS for your delivery needs."
I highly recommend using Fedex or UPS for your delivery needs. Unfortunately, USPS has repeatedly delivered packages to the wrong mailbox or address, causing unnecessary inconvenience.

“The company I had the unfortunate experience of dealing with is absolutely terrible. They should definitely face a class action lawsuit. They consistently deceive and engage in dishonest practices.”

“I completely agree. AARP should be ashamed of associating themselves with this company and endorsing their services. It would be great if a legal team could investigate and potentially file a class action lawsuit against Consumer Cellular for their numerous deceptive practices.”

“I completely agree! AARP really promotes this company, which is quite disappointing. Shame on them! C.S. is definitely a bottom feeder among cellular providers.”
