Re: Clueless Verizon
My Parents are with VZW with two lines and 10 gigs and pay around $170 with contract phones.
New plans $108 phones ($80 17% discount $20 $20 )
So as long as they get phones around $30 a month each they will get a better price and 2gig more data
Looking good for them. Since they will get Iphones 6 at Christmas ( got to be less then $30 per then)
Not everyone will ...
Re: I guess no more smartphones for me
So you get 1gig (since data isn't very important)
$30- 1 gig
$20 Smart
$20 Basic
$10 Tablet
$90 Phone Payment for a new GS6 (Around $30) so basically what you pay now and you get a GS6 for $0 down not $200. Math is hard but sounds like you will get a better deal.
Re: Identity crisis!
500,000,000 and 300,000,000 big diffrence
You are intitled to your own oppinion but I dissagre
US Cellular Investments made in last 12-18 months (est.)
100,000,000 New TOPS Billing System
50,000,000 New GEN 5.0 Store rebuild (100 agents + hundreds of corporate)
?? Millions - Iphone
US Cellular has always operated in the debt free zone. Therefore to make room for all of these expenditures they had to generate revenue (not coming from growth thanks to belief plan stratiegies) selling markets (basicly spectrum) to ...
Re: Stupid
You are wrong... It will be 0-50 for the contract carriers that pick it up
last year US Cellular, Tmobile and some prepaid carriers picked up a lesser known s3 mini
this was a very sucessfull pickup and will contiue to offer a selection of galaxy devices at diffrent feature points.
I agree the s3 might be a better deal for most consumers (40-100 now) and even a better deal at the holidays
choice is still king in ...
Re: I side with VZW and AT&T
T Bone said:
If the smaller carrier doesn't have coverage in areas where the larger carrier does not, then reciprocity is basically useless. Therefore the only way to make the exchange equal is to increase the licensing fees to make up for the lack of reciprocity.
There are still even after the Att/T-Mobile merger plenty of msa and regional fcc markets without a primary carrier being one of the big two. Obviously more lacking on the GSM side then ...
Re: My iPhone
ok so that is an HTC issue or a windows mobile issue? AGAIN BACK TO THE POINT WE NEED OPEN SOURCE LIKE ANDROID AND NOT CLOSED LIKE APPLE/WINDOWS sry caps lock
Re: Cancel a plan from a family plan?
Call 611 they will tell you your exact prorated charge to cancel that line as well as any other options for your specific situation. The termination starts at 150 and goes down until it reaches the end of the 2 year contract. You will be told the exact amount and given options on how to pay it. Hope that helps
btw every line as a separate contract and therefore a separate end time and termination ...
Re: Blackberry plan
you are given a lot for that 5.00 over premium phones. I do agree it would be nice to get something included like text or a discount for mulitiple. We are already 5.00 less for smartphone plans then the others and the devices already give u a lot more like:
The syncing capability of the phone. (Calandar, Notes, E-mail ect...)
The teathering ability
An app store to get free and paid apps
Streaming Audio App(Slacker Radio and Pandora)
orginizational function ...
Re: Thank Google for Android
Got to love OPEN SOURCE and its VAST amount of Benefits now just to give google time to work out kinks. They are 2 years behind apple and much longer behind others. The next few years should provide android the time and resources to bloom into something potentially great.
Re: Apple's also suing Nokia
And blah blah blah
There will be nothing more then an eventual agreement made to let everyone just make what they want. Apple is only suing HTC to make a point with their Nokia Battles that everyone is doing it. There is no way that they will be compensated greatly or that anyone will be made to change the way the design or build something.
I see by your post you are not a ...
Re: U.S Cellular = X
and where are u getting that info from?
Here is a link take a look
http://www.uscc.com/uscellular/Silver Stream/Pages/b_feature.html?phoneID=235&zip=3 7909&pkid=5385&mkt=602230&cID=2&covType=3&wrk flow=wrkFlowPlan&bb=N
We offer the following text packages with our plans including the unlimited
free incloming text pic videos
4.95 250 outgoing text messages and free incoming text
9.95 750 outgoing
19.95 unlimited text pic and vide0
29.99 family unlimited text pic video
So i guess we do have text with the unlimited plan :)
And why would we include it for 70.00 when none of the big guys do (t-mobile doesnt count)
Re: Why not?
dave73 said: I did also look at text added to the unlimited postpaid, and is only 5¢ cheaper than Verizon's unlimited with text. So I have done my research.
ok so u just said that we didn't offer a unlimited text and voice plan u just realized you were wrong
dave73 said:
I've done my research on the USCC website. Since I don't work in the industry, I don't have access to stuff that isn't ...
Re: Why not?
dave73 said:
Unlike the USCC plans, the Verizon unlimited plan offers text messaging for $20 more ($89.99).
Um actually they always offer text plans you can add and subtract from your voice plan. We do not bundle plans together but allow the consumer the flexibility to add what text/pic package THEY need. So u can get unlimited national min and text for 89.94 actually cheaper the vzw and if you don't need unlimited u can get 750 outgoing msg ...
Re: Any chance this will be ours too? Motorola Barrage V860.
ok i understand your logic now, i see and agree there isnt necessarly a need for revA on feature phones. I just see the carriers and manufactures to move away from rev0 to revA for economics of scale and uniformity not need for the consumers. Plus the number of feature phones comming with browsers especially on USCC is increasing greatly.
Re: Why does this company still exist?
Actually I don't work for US Cellular. I am an independent sales agent.
I didn't know this was English class, I will make sure to check my spelling next time to reduce the objections to my valid points.
BTW "humourous" is spelled humorous
and "existance" is existence but i get what you mean. :)
I appreciate that you think I am loyal to US Cellular and was "ruffled" by your comment but I will defend my business ...
Re: Any chance this will be ours too? Motorola Barrage V860.
why would uscc not want revA ? I am confused over 80% of their network is revA EVDO CDMA!
Re: Why does this company still exist?
simple answer yes you are missing a lot.
complicated answer:
US Cellular is a privatly owned company that makes a good profit for the family that owns them.
The DOJ wouldnt allow a buyout buy VZW or ATT
They use CDMA and are merging to LTE (allowing for GSM buyers to wait)
THe finacial market for big companies to aquire finacing to purchase a large company like USCC is hard to find.
Sprint cant afford it.
T-Mobile has other ...
Re: Any new plans coming out soon?
talk about holding a grudge you know you just replyed to a post from 3 YEARS AGO!!! let any ill will you have go man!!
Re: IMHO the US wireless industry..
you would need a data roam agreement requirment to provent flow of consumers to the better network. Same argument is comming from companies like US Cellular. Metro PCS, Leap WIreless. Withput Data Roaming it would become monoploistic. BTW LTE is not the same as 700 spectrum you can depoly it in 1900 or 850 as well. I agree sprint is behind due to investment in wimax if LTE becomes the standard but they will just ...
Re: IMHO the US wireless industry..
LTE Will definitely standardize devices and make the handset market thrive due to innovation and competition.
This though will not be the end to subsidized pricing. Carriers will obviously offer the ability to find a handset from another source and activate it on their network, as well as offer subsidized equipment for a discounted price. It will offer both competition for the carriers to update their lineup and open up the standard at the same ...
Re: IMHO the US wireless industry..
good points. I agree an Open standard is the way to go and offer more choices for the consumer. The reason this is not the case here in the US is the diversity of technology and its incompatibility with each different technology. Once LTE rolls out and we can get one standard of wireless in the US an Open Industry is not that far off for equipment. This will not get rid of a discounted ...
Re: Shoulld be Interesting to see how much control Julius Genachowski and Dems take.
hmmmm prob not efficient and def not cheap.
Shoulld be Interesting to see how much control Julius Genachowski and Dems take.
This should bring long in depth reports and bureaucratic red tape to see if there are unfair industry practices that are adversely effecting the consumers in the market. They will look specifically into the 80% market share controlled by the Big four (VZW, ATT, Sprint and T-Mobile). This will be another test to see if the Obama administration will fix the issues or redo the entire way the industry works. We shall see how newly elected ...
Re: Really Sweet
it is a compromise but kinda sketch with the 500k customers or less thing.
does that mean that they are going to create more unfair competition by allowing some carriers like Alaska wireless get the exclusive phones but continue to discriminate toward medium carriers like cricket, metro pcs, us cellular, and their big name competition like sprint or GSM versions for att or t-mobile. And remember this policy will continue into the deployment of lte and the uniform platform ...
US Cellular? what about the other million customers?
Ok so the rumor is 1.5 million will go to AT&T
well that leaves around 1 million or so left and plenty of markets?
1. Any news of US Cellular making a grab?
2. can verizon sell the gsm network in a hypothetical market and the cdma and customers to another?
anyone know more details about what was exactly sold.
thanks
ps aj great maps
Re: Believe it or not
We never sold batteries sorry.
The good will it creates and renewal capability is huge.
The traffic creation for other accessory sales is still good.
Remember they came in thinking to spend 40.00 on a battery and they can get a free battery and a case for 20-30 or usb or memory card...list goes on it is def more accessory opportunities for the store.
We train our workers to look take every customer opportunity as ...
Re: fewer techs, but always more bands
LTE is a wonderful step in the right direction. It will provide uniform device creation and allow for 3rd part support and consolidation of the industry. No doubt the frequency issue is one not solved by making countries use a certain world standard frequency (never going to happen for reasons you stated)
Now if we can just get a radio built that can support all frequencies and use software to tune in and receive the frequency we ...
Re: US Cellular Store vs. Authorized Dealer
I agree with you there are good and bad apples anywhere you look.
As for chargers (retractable i dont know what you mean, i never said anything about that)
We to carry multiple charging solutions
Home only
Car only
USB/CAR/Home Pack too (even though my cost on this is only 10.00)
My point is we as agents have a little cheaper cost on accessories due to the lack of corporate markup (dont say it doesnt exist)
Re: Believe it or not
i am and the program is great. We saw so much positive results and its a nice selling point over the rest of the carriers. Can't wait for more things like this!
Re: Old Plans???
better parenting and teaching kids what is right and wrong solves a lot of todays problems with kids. I don't think blocking a feature that is now approved by the mass population is the correct solution just parent your kids.
Re: Plans
to compete with the rest of the industry....
everyone sells a combination of all three and it was insaine how many customers wanted it and now that it is offered have switched. Im sorry your in the minority but it is just the change of the times.
pssst
your an idiot!
they wont be "forced" to do anything the carlson family doesn't want to do. And guess what they don't want to sell. USCC is a profitable company that by owning it it allows support from to the other companies they own. With a sale all of their business would be affected. Not a good plan. Now after LTE launches and their is more consolidation then we will talk possibilities. Right now ...
Re: Tethered Modem
everyone else charges for it so now us cellular does (verizon charges 30.00 a month)
I would say they can monitor usage and if it is obvious they will bust you. It is diffrent data usage connecting through tethering so it could show up if they did an audit.
bust=warning=
second bust= could equal data service termination for period of time

Re: Mobile To Mobile
Ok, the unfortunate answer is NO.
THe billing from other carriers network usage are not indicated and able to be billed as m-m
that is the same with other national carriers. if you are a verizon customer roaming on a us cell, alltel tower you do not recieve m-m
it is just how it works. Sorry
dont worry m-m is about to be a feature of the past since trends are leaning towards unlimited and other packages. ...
Re: Very Disturbing
Yes it would be a great site to see, and not neccessarly a far fetch idea. I mean vzw owes over 25billion now and we know how hard it is to get a loan even for big business.
Re: Very Disturbing
The minority stock holder is mad that there was not public disclosure of a so called offer from a big carrier in 2007. It is because of this that they are asking for a clear strategy for the years to come or to sell off and receive a prime price.
The problem is this is not the time for a prime offer.
I agree that verizon is making moves to compete with US Cellular as far ...
Re: Very Disturbing
I agree the financial crisis has meet the wireless industry as well. It begs the next question will these cellular companies be able to continue to find more suiters for their ever so mounting debt.
Sprint, AT&T and Verizon all have billions (yes there is that word again) in debt. The alltel deal alone cost vzw over 20 billion alone. With banks and other financial institutions tightening up I wonder if one wont be able to ...
Re: Very Disturbing
I think that a third party would be the only strategy available at this current stage too. Although unlikely it is a possibility. It would have to be a large enough company with financial backing. (Comcast, Time Warner, Clearwire,or independent financing.)
I still don't think the 52% voting rights that are held by the Carlson family will be given away very easily or at all.
The time i see for US Cellular to be a prime ...
Cellular South + Divested Alltel/VZW + US Cellular ??
Why Not?
Why shouldn't a buyout, merger or third party aquisition happen?
I think it would provide a a step closer to creating a more competitive capalistic market due to the large gap that is being created by vzw/att over the rest.
It would not place them in the same league customer wise but it would expand their native markets and able them to provide a more national footprint.
A finacial advantage would be realized with reduced roaming cost ...
