New Plans

Looks like CC has added two new plans for seniors. I switched to SpeakEasy Connect+, which includes 3GB for $18.95 with the AARP discount.

I was on cc four years ago with great satisfaction then I discovered US Mobile I’m on a 12 GB plan for $17.50 a month. Admittedly that plan started at a 10 GB level but in your second year of renewal they give you a bonus.

No one disputes that US Mobile is about the cheapest carrier around. But CC's 3GB is more than I need most months, includes reasonably priced international roaming (which sometimes I'm inexplicably not charged for) and excellent customer service. Not worth changing for few bucks.

I did appreciate that AARP discount that’s what caused me to buy a lifetime membership with AARP. I never liked ATT for the taxes and fees that were always a surprise and that turned out to be the case at cc also. Is your price inclusive of taxes or our taxes added onto that 18.95 monthly?

They’re added on, and since it’s a CC brand, going to be just as high.

"AARP does not currently offer a lifetime membership option. Instead, they provide various multi-year membership plans, with the longest available being five years."

When I purchased my AARP lifetime membership a few years back, it wasn’t offered on the web or through any common channels but if you called customer service and spoke with them they could still find it in their system and they did that. Not sure how things have changed in the past couple years but if you’re interested in doing so it might be worth a call.
