Our story.

Cellular Sales started with a mission to become a company that empowers its employees and treats customers as the number one priority. That vision expanded quickly with the opening of 100 stores in seven states in the first decade. But that was only the beginning.

The next decade of growth led to 400 more stores in 22 states. Today, Cellular Sales has over 780+ stores in 40 states with over 7,200 team members nationwide. Each new year has seen tremendous growth, but the family-like atmosphere and core values remain the same.

Customer testimonials.

"Just got back from the store, was in a rush and the staff, David & Nick were amazing. Not only did they expedite a phone swap for me but they were sure to notify me of all discounts, best options for what I need and were super polite and kind through out. I change phones maybe every 4 years because I am lazy and hate the process but Nick and David made it easy and stress free. Definitely will be going to this location for all future needs"

Eli

New York, NY

"Went in with a rough idea of what I was after and Shanti laid all the options out for me and made it an easy decision, AND made the transfer and backup process effortless. She was especially careful to make sure I wasn't losing anything, and being a fairly tech savvy guy it's refreshing at a place like this to find someone who knows my old phone better than I do and can breeze through the entire process easily!"

Darrin

Knoxville, TN

"Michelle was awesome and very professional, she is excellent at representing this company. She exemplifies the epitome of customer service, going above and beyond to ensure I was happy with my new iPhone and purchase, while also providing me with an informational tutorial as a new owner and user of the Apple iPhone family of products. It was a pleasure and I’m glad I had the opportunity to work with her during this process, which can sometimes be frustrating."

Risa

Tigard, OR

"I received some of the best customer service recently and just wanted to say Thank You!!! I worked with Joshua Smith on an issue I was having with my phone and the patience and recommendation given to me were absolutely phenomenal. I would highly recommend this location. Every employee in there seemed to be giving the best attention and service to their customers. I am extremely please with the selection I made on my new phone."
