Troubleshooting and error codes

Problem Possible causes Possible solution
Poor reception The network signal is too weak at your current location (for example, in a basement or near a tall building) because wireless transmissions cannot effectively reach it. Move to a location where the network signal can be properly received.
The network is busy at the current time (for example, during peak times, there may be too much network traffic to handle additional calls). Avoid using the phone at such times, or try again after waiting a short time.
You are too far away from a base station for your service provider. You can request a service area map from Customer Service.
Echo or noise Poor network link quality. End the call and dial again. You may be switched to a better-quality network link or phone line.
Poor local telephone line quality. End the call and dial again. You may be switched to a better-quality network link or phone line.
Unable to select certain features Consumer Cellular does not support these features, or you have not applied for services that provide these features. Call customer support at (888) 835-6047.
Cannot charge the battery The battery or battery charger is damaged. Call customer support at (888) 835-6047.
The phone's temperature is below 32°F (0°C) or higher than 95°F (35°C). Adjust the battery charging environment to avoid extreme temperatures.
Poor contact between the battery and charger. Check all connectors to ensure that all connections have been properly made.
Shortened standby time The standby time is related to Consumer Cellular system configuration. The same device used with different service providers' systems will not provide exactly the same length of standby time. If you are located in an area where signaling is weak, temporarily power off the device.
The battery is depleted. Use a new battery.
In high-temperature environments, battery life will be shortened.
If you are not able to connect to the network, the device will continue to send out signals as it attempts to locate a base station. Doing so consumes battery power and will consequently shorten standby time. Change your location to one where the network is accessible, or temporarily turn off your device.
Cannot turn your phone on Battery power has been depleted. Recharge the phone.
nano-SIM card error The nano-SIM card has malfunctioned or is damaged. Call customer support at (888) 835-6047.

You are not within the network's service area. Check the service area with Customer Service.
