When I first was with Consumer Cellular, I did not have an iPhone, but my husband had an Android, so we got the minimum data, which we still have. Best regards, Carolyn

It is easy to get VoiceOver off, for instance, if you do the two-finger double=-tap, but accidentally use three fingers - just stuff like that. Barb covered all the possibilities. Best
