[Ipg-smz] Just fyi... Consumer Cellular phone service is down nationwide

[Gabe Goldberg]

My wife and I have used CC since each buying iPhone 6s about three years 
ago. We're positively delighted; I've referred multiple people to CC 
(earning $10 for each).

Their call center and tech support are stellar -- all US based, 
competent/friendly/intelligent people. I called several times before 
starting service, to explore options and questions -- they were happy to 
chat as long as necessary without "going for the close" to open account. 
Same for starting account, as I puzzled over which network to be on 
(they looked at where I am and suggested best coverage) and ensured both 
phones had SIM for that network. Needed a couple more calls to activate 
hotspot service for each phone and a call about getting my name to show 
with callerid (very sorry they couldn't do that since it's not their 
network).

Coverage is perfect for where we spend almost all or time. It drops when 
we're in the wilderness -- e.g., driving from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon, 
dead spots along Interstate, interrupted by bursts of coverage in towns. 
Same for driving to a friend's in Port Allegany, PA (middle of nowhere).

We get AARP discount (5%, I think) and they've twice doubled data 
allowance for each price tier, thus each time reducing our monthly bill. 
We're not heavy calling/data users -- we now pay about $40 total for two 
phones, share 250 minutes and 2GB data.

For first phone you pick minutes plan and data plan (all have unlimited 
texting); $10/month added for each extra phone.

If this motivates you to join/switch, let me know and I'll give my cell 
phone# for the referral bonus!
