Frequently Asked Questions
- Is there a contract or cancellation fee?
- No contract. The Link II is about $90 with low-cost monthly plans you can leave, which is the main appeal alongside Consumer Cellular's senior-focused customer support โ worth more than it sounds when the user has to phone in for help.
- What can it not do?
- It is deliberately basic: calls and texts on a large physical keypad, with a smaller screen than a smartphone and no app ecosystem. There is also no dedicated emergency or monitored response feature, so it is not the phone to buy if a safety line is the goal.
- Will it work with hearing aids?
- Yes, it is loud and hearing-aid compatible. There is no published M/T rating, so if telecoil compatibility specifically matters, check that with the carrier before committing.
