I have AT&T.; Every other phone, including LG, I have used with my service has worked everywhere I go. This phone did not. This leads me to believe there is a problem with this particular model of phone. I would stay away from it.

Did you call consumer cellular and ask them about options? I used this same phone with them, but the reception was pretty bad. They sent me another SIM card but that did not help. I am in a valley, between a couple of hills so blamed it on that.

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

Yes. I have used it with Consumer Cellular for several months with no issues. Consumer Cellular uses the AT&T; system.

Hi Jimmie - Yes, I had no trouble at all getting my Samsung Glide, which I just received a short time ago, to work on Consumer Cellular. You just have to either transfer your SIM card from your old AT & T phone (if it wasn't AT & T, it won't work), or get a new SIM card from Consumer Cellular for free. But then after you install the SIM card, you must call Consumer Cellular, not necessarily to activate your phone -- it will work with the SIM card -- but so they can send your phone some data it will need to be able to access the Internet. Once you do that, the phone will work great.

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 do not use a pre-paid card with my phone. I have consumer cellular which uses a SIM card.

Hi There, sorry, my phone is a Verizon iPhone (CDMA) and does not work with Consumer Cellular which is a GMS (AT&T; compatible) service.Best of luck!

Yes, I have Consumer Cellular. The phone just needs to be an unlocked and ATT compatible (uses the same system as ATT, because they use ATT towers. The ATT system is GSM.) Consumer Cellular will send you the proper SIM card for the phone and activate it all free of charge. I don't know anything about Cricket.

You did not indicate what network you are using. My phone connects to Consumer Cellular via ATT with no issues, supporting 2 SIM Cards with 2 separate telephone numbers.Check to insure your network is supported.

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.

It is locked. Your old service provider has to unlock it and you get a new SIM card from Consumer Cellular. Their customer support people are great! You'll have no trouble.

I can't be sure, but I suspect that it will work. I'm using Consumer Cellular as my carrier. Give them a call.

yes, you can use it with consumer cellular, I did. They will send you a SIMM card for free when you contact them. Honestly, I was a bit leary buying this, but I am glad I did it. My wife bought this same phone a few weeks before I bought this one, she paid like $120.00 directly from consumer cellular. I suggest buying a screen protector and case with it, both of which I bought here from Amazon. Best of luck!

On their site under phones, CC says "Use your own phone with our FREE SIM card. our phone should either be a Consumer Cellular phone, a phone previously used with AT&T;, or an unlocked GSM phone". I've used one of these unlocked phones with a couple different sim cards from different companies and it worked fine. It is a basic phone, but works with all standard sized sim cards, so long as it is unlocked as these say they are.
