These complaints are silly, huh? Let me guess, you work for US Cellular (or at one time did). Because any person with objectivity can easily see how it can be implied by their advertisement that US Cellular is a national carrier too..

"Get the highest call quality and network satisfaction of any national carrier".

Perhaps it was not meant in that way, but that is how I read that, and others too. Did you read my examples earlier of similar statements? That advertisement can imply that it is a national carrier.

Tell me this: Why is it that one person (possibly current US Cellular employee) says that they are considered a national carrier, and you say that they are not and it is not even implied anywhere? Why is there such various opinions of this.

As I stated before, if USCellGirl is right in that the FCC changed the rule, well then ok, I will accept it and apologize for the accusation of false advertisement. (I just want to see proof). If US Cellular was not trying to say it is a national carrier, perhaps they want to rephrase their advertisements.

By the way, one thing that really is annoying (and it is not exclusive to US Cellular employees...but all carriers) is when employees of a carrier blindly support the carrier is all cases, even when the carrier is not right. They seem to take it personally when someone has a legitimate complaint about something of the carrier. To me, carrier "homers' lack credibility, because everything is so one-sided with them. I will say this..while I do not agree with everything he said, I at least respect erikpkp, because he tried to see both sides of the argument. However, not everyone on Phonescoop is this way, and it is people like this with each major carrier's forum.
