We don't recommend Consumer Cellular 1GB for 1 line. There are similar plans with the same or more data at a better price.
Description
Consumer Cellular 1GB gives you 1GB of shared high-speed data on AT&T's network for $20 a month. You can use all of your data as a hotspot. Two lines cost $35, or $17.50 per line.
Data stops once you use your 1GB. Video streams at 480p, and your data is deprioritized. Taxes and fees are extra, and there's a $3.99 monthly carrier fee.
If you can spend a little more, US Mobile Unlimited Starter Dark Star gets you unlimited data on the same AT&T network for $25 a month, taxes included.
Consider Consumer Cellular 1GB if: you use little data.
