Pay a Consumer Cellular bill by logging in to My Account and clicking Pay Now, by calling (888) 345-5509, or by texting #PAYMENT to 38882821 for a secure link that needs no login. Your last 18 invoices are in My Account: go to the Billing page and click the month in the Invoices section.

  • Text: send #PAYMENT to 38882821. A secure payment link comes back with your balance and due date.

  • Check: mail it to one of the three Consumer Cellular P.O. boxes listed on the help page (San Francisco, Carol Stream or Boston) with your account number.
