How to fix Consumer Cellular not working

Consumer Cellular is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Reload and restart

   Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.

2. Try another connection

   Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Consumer Cellular.

3. Update the app

   Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.

While Consumer Cellular is down: what to use instead

• Wi-Fi calling Turn on Wi-Fi calling when calls or texts fail on the cellular network; a Wi-Fi connection can keep you reachable.
• The website If the app will not load, sign in through a browser to check your account or pay a bill.
• Customer service line Call support from another phone when you need account help and the app or site is unavailable.
• Another carrier's phone Borrow a phone on a different network for urgent calls or texts while the service is out.

Problems at the same time as Consumer Cellular

Since 27 October, Consumer Cellular's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.
