Description
Consumer Cellular's 1GB plan runs on AT&T for coverage.
It costs $20 per month for 1 line.
It comes with unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 1GB Shared of high-speed data per month. You can use up to all 1GB Shared of data as hotspot data. Video streams at 480p quality.
Data is deprioritized, so speeds may slow during network congestion.
Taxes and fees are extra. Expect roughly $0.00 more per month, bringing your total to about $20.00.
Overall, I do not recommend the Consumer Cellular 1GB plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.
