Consumer Cellular plans start at $20 a month, and its headline offer is aimed at one group. “Over 50? Unlimited everything for $35.” Consumer Cellular describes itself as selling “plans and phones made for seniors”, with customer service based in the United States.
Consumer Cellular prices we could confirm
Consumer Cellular’s full plan list sits behind a verification step we could not get past, so this table is what its home page states.
| Offer | Price | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest plan | From $20 a month | Anyone |
| One line, unlimited talk, text and data | $35 a month | Customers aged 50 and over |
| Two lines, unlimited | $60 a month | Customers aged 50 and over |
| Two lines, unlimited, AARP price | $55 a month | AARP members |
These are from Consumer Cellular’s site, read on October 8, 2026.
Two conditions are in the footnotes. “Unlimited data plans only for customers age 50+.” And the prices shown “include $5 credit for AutoPay and E-billing”, so without both you pay $5 more.
Unlimited has a ceiling here as elsewhere. On a single line speeds are reduced after 35 GB in a month. On multi-line unlimited plans it is 50 GB.
Taxes are extra. The plan page says its totals “do not include any state or local taxes”. There is also a one-time activation fee of $10 a line.
Consumer Cellular prices for AARP members
The site also lists plans with 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 GB of data. The only prices we could read for those were on Consumer Cellular’s AARP page, which shows what members pay for one line.
| Plan | AARP member price |
|---|---|
| 1 GB | $19 a month |
| 5 GB | $23.75 a month |
| Unlimited, with 35 GB of high-speed data | $33.25 a month |
Adding a line to any of the three is $15 a month. AARP members get 5% off monthly service, and the page says the $19 plan already includes it. The $55 price for two unlimited lines cannot be combined with that 5%.
Which network does Consumer Cellular use?
AT&T’s, as far as its own pages show. Consumer Cellular speaks of reselling service “on the networks of our Underlying Carriers”, in the plural, without naming them. Its settings page for phones is headed “APN SETTINGS FOR AT&T NETWORK”.
We could not confirm a second network from its site.
Consumer Cellular APN settings
The APN is ereseller, and Consumer Cellular says it can “remotely configure
your phone” if you give a customer service agent its IMEI number. The full
Android list is on our
Consumer Cellular APN settings page.
Is it only for seniors?
No. Anyone can buy the plans with a data allowance. The unlimited plans are the part restricted by age, and AARP members get a lower two-line price.
