It works only with T-mobile carrier, to my knowledge.I 'unlocked' the phone but can only use other carriers if I pay.

This phone will work with Consumer Cellular, but it has to be "unlocked". If you search for a phone that has already been unlocked, then you just pop in your Consumer Cellular SIM card and go. If the phone is still locked, then you would need to look up the web or youtube how to unlock the phone, as each phone requires a different process for unlocking. You would also need an unlock code to unlock the phone. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

I used mine with Straight Talk for nearly a year before I went to Consumer Cellular, with whom it also works.

I got mine to use with Consumer Cellular, not AT&T.; So far it is fine. Came with charger. There is a learning curve with any new phone, but I think with time this one will be good (only been a week, sorry).

Best to call consumer cellular to verify as this phone originated from Verizon and has a Verizon SIM card in it! It appears that it can but you should double check with Consumer Cellular first before you place your order. 1-888-345-5509

I just switched to Consumer Cellular and all features work fine on this phone (phone, text, web).

Yes you can. I have had Consumer Cellular for almost a year and have used several different phones with them. I currently have the LG Nitro and have been well pleased with the compatibility. I get 4g data coverage and so far the performance has exceeded my expectations. I have not tried using this phone as a hotspot hub, so I can't speak to that feature. Multimedia texting seems to work well.

I got my sim card from Consumer Cellular and it was FREE and with No Long Term Contract, but it will only work with their mobile phone service. I just had to notify them when I received and installed the sim card, so they could register my phone with their service and it was up and working right away. Since this is an Unlocked GSM cell phone it will work on GSM networks such as Consumer Cellular, AT&T; and T-Mobile, but will not work on CDMA networks. I'm not sure how much the other networks would charge for a sim card, but it would only be usable through their network and they may require a contract. I hope this is of help to you.

Ours were unlocked and we were able to use are using them with Consumer Cellular. We did have to call Consumer Cellular and have it configured since it was not purchased from them but they were very helpful and it was done very quickly.

Dc urbanite said he was able to use this phone on consumer cellular service, I have not been able to get internet working on the service even with consumer cellular help when not on my wifi network. The phone works, but not mobile internet. If anyone has been able to get the the Internet working I would love to know how!

Based on comments from many other reviewers, it probably will work on the Virgin Mobile network. However, this particular model is really configured to work best on the AT&T; network. I bought it for use as a Consumer Cellular customer. Consumer Cellular uses the AT&T; network. It does use a lot of battery power depending on the number of apps you install and use on the phone. But other than that, I really don't have any other complaints. The phone has worked out okay for my wife and me.

Yes it is unlocked and works great on consumer cellular. The FM radio is the only thing not usable as was tied to AT&T;

yes as long as it is compatible with Consumer Cellular.. you just need to copy your contacts to that sim card then put it in your new phone. If you call Consumer Cellular Customer they will help you with the copy and activate your new phone. They have great Customer Service and will walk you through step by step

I use Consumer Cellular, which uses the AT&T; system, so I can't be sure.The problem I had was it was an AT&T; Demo phone meant to be used in an AT&T; store. It appeared to be new, but the phone could not be used as a regular phone with the Demo installed. I found info online that says the Demo cannot be removed, once installed. They are replacing the phone, but I have not received the replacement yet. OrderInstant was very responsive when I called to fix the problem. I hope the replacement works or I will ask for a refund.

yes i believe, because consumer cellular uses at&t network and works in GSM 850/1900. that it's available in this cell phone.

Sorry to have to tell you, but it is the one downfall of this phone. I have Consumers Cellular and mine does not work either. When you bring an unlocked phone over to a carrier there is always the possibility of loss of some functionality. It is probably that the frequencies are off. This is a common problem. My son just bought a Nexus 5 and brought if over to Consumers Cellular and it work great. It is just the chance you take. Other than this problem, I love the phone.
