It seems odd that this review includes both the support knowledge base and the online chat representative experience together in Online Support. Online chat is another method for contacting customer support, like via Phone or Social Media. The support knowledge base is for self-help. I feel like these should be scored separately.

Hmm...it's odd that the best-rated cellular phone company in the US was left out -- Consumer Cellular. Consumer Reports rates their customer service far above those in this report.

It's an interesting point, and one we'll likely consider on future customer service rankings.

It didn't make the cut this time out, as it's somewhat of a niche player at this point. We'll likely consider adding new carriers to these rankings as the market evolves.

A unique prepaid service that offers excellent customer service is GIV Mobile. GIV Mobile is an affordable option starting at just $20/month for unlimited talk and text for users who are looking for a no-contract wireless service. Plus, 8% of each customer’s monthly plan amount is donated to up to three charities of their choice. Charities like the Kids in Need Foundation, The Academy of Natural Sciences, the Alzheimer’s Association and more are continuing to receive support by GIV Mobile and their customers.
