I'm not too surprised they are around still. They do have close to 7 million subscribers. Also, they have the most dedicated customer loyalty. ESPECIALLY in the midwest. They are expanding pretty rapidly too! Won't be too long til they breach top 5 carriers.

LTE will be pretty cool when they launch it. Estimating 20-25 mbps bare minimum when they do launch.

They have turned things around. Launching 5 Android devices in a 4 month period, 3 new Blackberries, and even the new Samsung Galaxy Tablet most likely by the end of this month!

I applaud them for their perserverance in the face of such huge competitors like Verizon, AT&T, and Tmobile!

Me too honestly. Are they really that proftiable? I'm surprised Big Red hasn't tried to gooble them up yet. Too profitable still? Big Red can't afford them? What gives here. This company shouldn't even exist.

Why shouldn't USCC exist? they have the best reception and call quality I've even seen. Hell my mom has had them for like 8 or 9 years now back in Chicago. They were the first and only to be able to work in the subway systems "the EL" in Chicago. I dont have them myself anymore but I did. It's a shame they're not in Michigan.

I meant with the economy and everything. But I guess they must be doing something right. The more competition the better. Just too bad they dont cover the whole nation. It's kinda ironic being called U.S. Celluar but yet you dont cover the entire U.S.

True and AT&T means American Telephone & Telegraph. Just an observation.

They have a very realistic business model. They stay within their capabilities and remain customer centric. They only spend money that they have. Their network is solid, they have the best footprint in most markets they serve. In short they are wireless done right.

Well to answer your question, they have a centralized network. In their markets, especially the Midwest, they have the top rated networks. So in turn for that network reliability, 10 consecutive JB Power Associate Awards worth, their customers tend not to leave so easily.

And they actually do have a HUGE nationwide coverage with their roaming partners. Which also answers your previous question as to why "Big Red" hasn't purchased t...

Most likely, they will launch the test market in either Chicago where their HQ is, OR around Milwaukee or Madison in Wisconsin. That is their largest grossing market.
