Consumer Cellular Launches SpeakEasy, a Purpose-Built Wireless Brand Designed for Older Americans

New standalone brand addresses growing demand for simpler wireless solutions among adults 75+

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumer Cellular, the first wireless provider unapologetically built for Americans 50+, today announced the launch of SpeakEasy, its first standalone brand within the Consumer Cellular portfolio, created specifically for adults age 75+ and built around a simple premise: staying connected shouldn't require navigating complicated technology.

Consumer Cellular currently serves more than 4 million customers nationwide and has spent more than three decades helping older Americans adopt and use wireless technology. SpeakEasy's launch reflects the company's deepened commitment to serving the evolving needs of older Americans across different life stages. According to AARP, three in five adults age 50+ say technology is not designed with their age in mind. For the 75+ population, that challenge only deepens with age, a reality SpeakEasy was built to address.

"Our customers have been telling us they want technology that's easy to use and helps them stay close to the people who matter most," said Ed Evans, Chairman and CEO of Consumer Cellular. "SpeakEasy is our answer. It's not a modified mainstream product, it's a wireless experience built from the ground up for the way people over 75 actually live, communicate, and stay connected with family and friends."

SpeakEasy launches with two devices: a flip phone and a smartphone, with service plans starting at $14.95 per month. Now available in Consumer Cellular's 99 (and growing) retail stores across 33 states, through its 100% U.S.-based customer service center, and online at SpeakEasyMobile.com.

A full smartphone with a big, bright screen running a simplified operating system with an intuitive, large-button interface designed to surface the functions people use most, including calling, texting, photos, and video.
