This may not be true in all locations - If you have a full price AT&T (or Verizon) plan and you are in a location that has no AT&T towers, there may be a sharing agreement (used to be called roaming) so that your AT&T phone will still work. But your Tracfone/StraightTalk/CC/etc phone that uses AT&T towers will not work.
This was true in 2013 when I was working & had a company phone - it might have changed since then.

There is no reduction of the AT&T service just because it's via Consumer Cellular.
Things get slow at times out here in Quartzsite when, I guess, the towers get overloaded. And it's not even January!

Consumer Cellular uses the AT&T GSM networks so you have the exact same coverage as a full price plan through AT&T. There is no reduction of the AT&T service just because it's via Consumer Cellular.

The DW & I both use TracFone. About $20 a month for both. I'm not a phone person, but she loves hew FB. Best part is that she is using Verizon towers & my phone uses AT&T. Very rare that one of us doesn't have coverage.
Just have to find a good plan for our hot spot to get coverage at an affordable price. We only activate ours when we travel, about 4 times a year and don't want to pay an activation fee each time.

Also if you go over your monthly data allowance they just raise you to the next tier. No penalty. We've only hit one area where they didn't offer data, only Verizon worked there. CC uses AT&T and T-mobile for their carrier. We just make sure any new phones we purchase are put on the AT&T network.
I just switched from Verizon to Consumer Cellular a few days ago. I have unlimited talk and text and 2GB data for $30 a month, includes taxes. Husband will switch tomorrow, $15 for the second line. Total of $45 minus 5% AARP discount equals $42.75. Verizon bill was $77.50 with 2 GB unlimited talk and text. Activation is free.
During December each new line added gets $20 toward their bill. I am using my Samsung S7 that I used with Verizon. I went to a large Target store, and had a new Sim card put in so it would work on CC.
Another popular CC plan is 2 lines for $55 with 5GB for $55.
