They do, but they're the lower end of the wireless spectrum. The most desirable customers use iPhones. They have the highest satisfaction rating, they simultaneously use their phones more while consuming less network resources (see Sprint's CEO's comment on this matter if you think this is me making this up) , and dominate the mobile development environment.

Passing on the iPhone is a great way to end up like T-Mobile or, until very recently, Sprint.

And you wonder why people here are always criticizing you for being an Apple shill....

Because they don't have any logical counterpoints to any argument. It's easier to say "Bluecoyote is an Apple shill" than to:

B) Prove that I was wrong

LOL USCC is still VERY profitable! Their quarterly revenue and profit increases every single quarter. VZW has actually said that based on cost to buy up USCC, they could build an entire network in the Midwest for cheaper instead of having to piggyback off of USCC.

Not selling the iPhone is NOT a loss. They already have some top-tiered smartphones and solid data speeds and plans. What is keeping them growing and in the game is their customer loyalty is scary.

I used to sell AT&T, Tmobile, Verizon, and Sprint (as well as several other off the wall prepaid services) and could almost NEVER get a USCC customer to jump ship. Apparently USCC is doing something right.

The reason our customer loyalty is so high (in my opinion as a employee) is because there are people here at USCC are cut from a different cloth. I cant speak for my fellow associates on the matter but I know that I personally believe in this company and the values that they attempt to instill in you as an employee. The phones and the contracts don't have feelings, the customers do, and thats what makes USCC different than the big 3 and other carriers.
