This is the reason why I still have issues with Phone Scoop. They do a holiday Gift Guide. They put the big four. Then at the end, they put the prepaid companies. But, Not US Cellular! It is the 6th biggest mobile company. But no picks for USCC.

I hope Phone Scoop is reading this and make an some changes to USCC in the Holiday Gift Guide. They have great phones and plans. And Phone Scoop has talk about phone launches that USCC did. But, no mention of USCC in the guide.

My two cents.

Sorry about that. But I'm afraid we have to draw the line somewhere. As soon as we go regional, there could be literally hundreds. I think "national" is a good place to draw the line. (And companies with their own networks, not MVNOs or sub-brands.)

WOW!!!! I ask to think about it.

Amazing that you make a quoted on regional and national Carriers. Unless Phone Scoop is in a area that do not have USCC.

But, don't be a SMART A**!!!! About it.

USCC is not MVNO or sub-brands. And USCC has their own network.

Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean. What's a "quoted"?

Whatever you mean, why is it "amazing"? USCC is a regional carrier. There's a huge difference between a carrier like USCC and a national carrier. Check out their own coverage map (click "U.S. Cellular Licensed Markets"):

I think the only really major city they cover is Chicago.

and honestly, how can a company call themselves "US Cellular" when they serve just a couple of states in the south and midwest? Last time I checked the US has 50 states. Doesn't matter if they have free roaming either. If you're gonna call yourself US Cellular serve the entire US. Just saying.

Verizon mostly got big, by buying companies. This proves that Verizon can't build networks. US Cellular build their networks.

I am fan boy. I just do not see why can USCC be in the guide.

Simple!!!!!!!

Abbsolutely 1000% correct!
VZW is riding of the shirtails of defunct carriers for their network.
It is a prime carrier with excellent quality I'll give them that.
Sprint, USC, MetroPCS are built from the ground up.
MVNO's are helpful with their highly competetive non-contract plans. 🙂

$65 billion invested in their network since 2001? I'd say they build their network just fine.
