Our review
Consumer Cellular's standard Unlimited plan runs $60/month with AutoPay and eBilling for a single line.
It sits on AT&T's network and gives you unlimited data with speeds that slow during network congestion after 50 GB. No hotspot. Taxes not included.
The plan is single-line only. The same carrier's 55+ Unlimited plan offers comparable coverage for $35/month -- $25 cheaper for those who qualify. Against the broader AT&T MVNO market, $60 is a common price point for unlimited, but some competitors in this range include a hotspot or slightly higher deprioritization thresholds.

How much data, talk, and text does Unlimited include?
Unlimited talk and text. Unlimited data on AT&T LTE/5G. After 50 GB, during busy periods on the tower, speeds can drop as the carrier slows down traffic above the priority threshold. Outside of congestion, speeds continue normally past 50 GB.

What happens if you exceed your data on Unlimited?
