Verification notes
Month-to-month postpaid wireless (Consumer Cellular, Incorporated, Portland, Oregon), marketed to customers 50+ and AARP members. Disputes fall under the Wireless Customer Agreement (last updated September 15, 2026): a certified-mail Notice of Dispute, 60 days of informal resolution, then AAA arbitration or small claims. Consumer Cellular's own help pages do not say how to get a number transfer (port-out) PIN; ask customer support.
