Whether you’re a tech-savvy teen or a set-in-your-ways senior, having a cell phone plan that’s simple and affordable is always a priority.

Not to mention, with the rise of inflation, we’re all looking to save a buck. Without even realizing it, Americans are paying 4.7% more on their phone rates year after year — equating to nearly $1,400 a year — based on 2020 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

To help you skip the complicated, hours-long calls with service providers, we’re putting Consumer Cellular on your radar. And no, it’s not another gimmicky provider that’ll leave you unsatisfied.

This service provides both a wireless cellular service (and a phone, if desired) that streamlines your connection to loved ones. If you’re looking for a connection that doesn’t require skyrocketing data fees and a binding contact, it’s worth exploring for yourself, for your senior parent (who craves how simplistic things were in ‘the good old days’) or your teenager who has been begging you for a way to call their friends on an individual line.

Impressively, Consumer Cellular offers wireless plans starting at just $20 a month, with as little as 1GB of data if you want a value-priced option that’ll allow you to make regular phone calls. If interested, the largest plan is fairly priced at $50 a month and unlocks unlimited data for you to freely use and enjoy.

What’s included? You’ll have access to unlimited talk and text, cellular data, premium nationwide coverage, 5G access at no extra cost, paperless billing, convenient automatic bill payment and helpful customer service.

Perhaps you’re looking to cut costs a bit. Or, maybe you’re realizing that you don’t need all of the bells and whistles — the Internet, the paid-for apps and overpriced catalog of international wireless options — at this point in time.

Ahead, we outlined just a few reasons hopping on the Consumer Cellular train is well-worth it:

The latest Apple model comes in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB options and is fully water-resistant, boasts a ceramic shield and offers a slew of safety features – from emergency SOS via satellite to crash detection, the latter automatically calling 9-1-1 in case you need immediate assistance.

Coming in four sought-after hues, Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro also comes in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB options and features an innovative 48MP main camera, a display that’s up to two times brighter in the sun and is fully water- and dust-resistant.

For the most affordable Apple option Consumer Cellular provides, the iPhone SE 3rd Gen costs less than $20 a month and is offered in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB options. With an A15 chip to speedily load apps, a water-resistant design and a smart HDR camera, it’s a sure bet.

For a fairly priced Android model, look no further than the Samsung Galaxy S23. Specifically, this phone offers a 128GB capacity, an HD display and a selfie-smart 12MP front camera.

For a bit more of a splurge (and, one we recommend if you love using a stylus), the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is offered in 256GB and 512GB storage options with the ability to draw, sketch and design on the fly. Plus, it features a 10 MP Telephoto lens that makes for the perfect sunset photos.

As one of the most affordable Android options at Consumer Cellular, the Avid 589 is a must-grab, namely for its no-frills 32GB capacity and HD+ screen. Not to mention, its rear camera features four times the zoom power compared to the average lens.

We all love a good flip phone, and the Link II is the real deal. You’ll appreciate its simple, 8GB storage option, large and easy-to-use classic 12-key pad and — impressively — a 2 MP digital camera to take pictures (without it being considered a smartphone).

The Verve Snap is another flip-phone option at Consumer Cellular, also offered at $2 a month. For talking and texting, its convenient ‘Favorites’ key makes it super simple to stay connected with the handful of loved ones you communicate with often. Not to mention, its 8GB capacity makes things uncomplicated and straightforward to use.
