AARP Consumer Cellular Program Doesn't Support Single Seniors

[EugeneM704744]

Consumer cellular offers a special unlimited data plan to AARP members - $55 for two lines.

Unfortunately my wife succumbed to cancer in 2023 and I only need one line of service now being alone.  I sent a message to Consumer Cellular, and I actually received a callback; however, the gentleman who called could only tell me that is the way the plan is setup and there wasn't anything that could be done.  I know that AARP has significant influence with Consumer Cellular and ask that they please reach out to Consumer Cellular and ask them to offer a special unlimited data plan to AARP members who like me have lost their spouse, life partner or otherwise single.  Thank you.

@EugeneM704744  I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your wife! Let me clear up the confusion! Members save 5% on monthly service and usage charges and 30% on accessories with Consumer Cellular. Talk, text and data plans start at $20 per month per line. No contract is required. Includes free activation and an extended, 45-day risk-free guarantee. For more information, go to: https://www.aarp.org/membership/benefits/tech/consumer-cellular/?cmp=SNO-LITHIUM---&socialid=1574756... or, call Consumer Cellular at

1-888-766-1002  To redeem this offer, enter or mention your AARP membership number. Take care!  Jodee R.

Your information is incorrect.  In addition to the discounts you enumerated, Consumer Cellular also offers AARP members two unlimited lines for $55 per month.  Here is a link to the information - https://savings.consumercellular.com/AARP55?tfn=8886207971&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_camp...

Again, I ask that this issue be escalated by AARP to Consumer Cellular about not having a similar benefit to those of us who have lost their husband/wife/partner.  Thank you.

@Eugene704744  Consumer Cellular offers more than one discount to AARP members. Both of these are valid; $20 per line per month, and 2 lines for $55. For more information, go to: https://www.aarp.org/membership/benefits/tech/consumer-cellular/?cmp=SNO-LITHIUM---&socialid=1574874... Thanks!  Jodee R.

There are many cheap cell plans available. I wouldn't limit myself to Consumer Cellular. Here is a link or you can search for "low cost cell plans".

Dirk - I am aware of other plans, but I already have a plan with Consumer Cellular.  My point is that I feel that AARP should be advocating for seniors who have suffered the loss of their spouse or partner.  Thank you.
