Nexus 4 Set-Up on Consumer Cellular

[frjeff#WN]

Received my new N4 on Wednesday and received the Consumer Cellular Micro SIM on Thursday.

After 10-12 minutes on the phone with CC Customer Service (including test calls, test texting and web browsing, I was up and running.

Have all the APN settings as they gave them to me.

CC customer service is excellent and this phone rocks. (and that's a 68 year old Android Noob coming from an iPhone speaking)

Just put on the screen and back protectors and awaiting two different cases.

Thanks for all the previously shared info.

how is the data speed?

 

[frjeff#WN]

Identical (or faster) than the AT&T service I had previously (although this phone is faster than my iPhone was). CC uses AT&T network.

Could you please share your APN settings? I just got my new Nexus 4 and have tried every combination of settings from this forum with no luck on mms (internet is working fine, just cant get mms to work).

 

[frjeff#WN]

Help me find the settings and I'll let you know. How do I get to them (put them in but was being coached by CC support).

What plan are you on? Do I have to be 60+ to use it? Thank you.

Update: I googled it. Think I'll just stick with my $30 TMO plan for now.

Age does not matter.
Uses the AT&T network. Exact same speeds.
Plans start at $10/no.
My plan (with wife phone also) is saving me $45/mo from previous AT&T plan (identical minutes, texts, data)

Thank you for posting the APN settings for the Nexus 4. Consumer Cellular rep couldn't help me but told me to search the Internet. I found your post, entered the data for the APN, and I am up and running with data over cellular. Thanks again and have a great weekend

Wow. This looks like half the cost of AT&T GoPhone prepaid. I assume it's roaming-restricted like Go Phone. Keep us posted on service, performance, reliability, etc., please.

Edit: On further examination, I see I wasn't including voice charges, so it is probably comparable to GoPhone. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.
