I don't know anything about Consumer Cellular but with regard to prepaid cellular if that's what your looking for you can do Net10 right now with a reconditioned LG300 disposo-phone package 300+200 min for $20! That's .04 a minute!

http://www.straighttalk.com/ is a great deal $30 for 1000 minute /1000 text messages/ 30 Megs Web or $45 a month unlimited everything. They've got some decent phones, no Blackberry etc. but for $100 a Web enabled keyboard phone/camera/Bluetooth/MP3 etc and a IPOD type phone for $330 if you've got to have the blingest!
