well, this will be interesting. i've been fed up with verizon for more than a year and have diddled around trying to figure out which service to switch to. try as i did, i couldn't summon up any answers.
today i just happened to be glancing through the aarp bulletin (i have never looked at it before in all the years we've been getting it) and saw an ad for Consumer Cellular. the thing that caught my eye was that it doesn't insist on a contract. (there was also an ad for jitterbug cellular, but when i looked at them online i was very UNimpressed.)
so i went online to check it out and liked what i saw. one of the nicest things is that i don't have to call verizon to cancel my service and put up with them trying to talk me out of it. i just switch the number over to CC and it magically happens.
sure, it may turn out i don't like the phone i got (it's nokia which i already know i do like) or we may have a problem with service, but we'll see. i've got 30 days/30 minutes to make up my mind.
the monthly plan is 200 minutes for $19 with 100 texting messages for $2.38 (a 5% aarp discount is figured in -- when i gave them aaa as a reference, i didn't get ANY discount).
it may not be the best deal in the world, and i just remembered it doesn't have a camera, but, really -- how many times did i use the camera with verizon. not very often. and if i like the service i think i'm going to be happy with the phone. that will be a nice change.
p.s. the replacement battery for this new phone is half (ONE HALF) what it cost from verizon.
