There won't be any "deals" from Apple for Consumer Cellular, so your best bet for the least amount of hassles may be to buy directly from Consumer Cellular.


That way, you know that the phone will work with their service when you power it up. If you buy an unlocked phone from Apple, you will still have to go through the process of setting it up to work with your carrier. That "should" be relatively easy, but "should" is not the same word as "will".
