What you should understand is that any cell carrier is focused on what makes the company more money. In this case with Minnesota, the bulk of our roaming expense is in Minneapolis/St. Paul. What U.S cellular pays for the customer to be able to use the phone in Minnesota is nothing compared to the roaming charges the customer pays. If U.S Cellular makes Minnesota roam free for lets say our regional plan, we would lose a large amount of money. I don't see anything in the near future (2 years) of Minnesota being covered under U.S Cellular's calling area. Unless the competition changes don't expect it to happen anytime soon.
