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

[Barbara Krasnoff]

Just to throw my own two cents in, my mother, who can be very hard to
please, has been on CC for a couple of years, and is doing very well on it.
When she has a problem, they are very patient with her (she's nearly 93,
and while she's still  quite independent, she can be a bit slow on tech
stuff). When I needed to switch, I went to a different supplier because CC
didn't support my current phone, but I would have been happy to use them.
