Trying to get around the world of cell phone carriers can be one of the biggest pains in the butt conceivable. We in North America have distinctively overpriced cell phone plans available to us, so it's hard for normal people to find cell phones that won't cost an arm and a leg...
The big companies pour so much money into advertising it's hard to see past them to some of the better deals that may be floating around. This article is going to focus on the best cell phone carrier for people on a budget.
The best value company I'm going to talk about is Consumer Cellular. And when I mean "best value" I mean a no nonsense cell phone plan that may not be anything exciting but it's cheap.
My plan runs me about $30 a month and it's all I need.
Here are the details of what you can expect:
* No contracts (my favorite)
* 7 phones to choose from
* 6 phone plans to choose from (ranging from $10 - $60 a month)
* 4 data package plans to choose from
* The internet browsing is limited however and depends on the phone you choose
* Change your plan with no penalty charge
* 30 day return policy
* Keep track of your minutes with usage alerts
I left "usage alerts" last because they're important. Consumer Cellular charges 25 cents for every minute you go over your plan. That's where you have to watch it. So these alerts are how you keep high charges away That's how you get the best deal...
A lot of people mistakenly assume that a cell phone carrier like this would have crappy cell phone coverage but in reality all they do is tap into the exact same networks as the big companies so call quality is no different. Consumer Cellular uses AT&T's network. If you look at the Consumer Cellular Coverage Map you'll see...

Basically
Consumer Cellular is great for folks who want to save some money and don't want anything fancy, just a phone to make calls.
I'm loving life after switching from T-Mobile (they screwed me lol) Here's if you want to read more in depth
