Hey did anyone else read this article:

If so does anyone know what new markets we aquired if or just what markets did we gain more spectrum.

I heard that the Blackberry Pearl will be released on US Cellular at the end of January.
Is this true and what is the pricing on this gem?

I will not go into too much detail., but I will tell you that the CULTURE SURVEY IS A CROCK.
I have watched so many leaders that were good now gone because they were honest and told the truth in the skip level meetings. If you want to keep your job, just say everything is fine. If you raise any conflict concerns with your managers, they will label you

a friend told me today that us cellular is getting the voyager? i'm hoping it's true??
if so, when will it be coming out?

I am a customer service rep for US Cellular who made the switch from at&t. I must say that the agents in our Customer Service. Help Desk are top notch! Every call that I have made to that team has been a positive experience. Not only do they tell me what I need to do, they tell me how. Everyone has been so friendly and helpful. If you are a part of our Help Desk Team then you rock! My hat goes off to you. Keep up the great work! 😁

This is old news, but I want some opinions. I think it was either for tax purposes or TDS is selling uscc.

I am surprised no one else has mentioned this yet... but I think US Cellular is trying to pull something here to trick their customers.

Quick version of the story:
- Many USCC customers got a letter last week saying that they are "required to upgrade" their phones to GPS-capable phones, or you will "be charged a substantial monthly fee".
- They said the reason for this is because of a few FCC requirement.
- I talked to someone at the FCC today, and they said that there is no requirement for people to upgrade their phones, only for the network to support the GPS features.
- USCC said that special pricing was available for this upgrade, but the prices are the same as you would always be able to get by signing a two-year contract.

will the 8830 from USC work abroad?? Like as in Europe... Does it have the GSM capabilities??

does anyone know whether or not U.S. cellular is coming out with any phones with a full keypad anytime soon? my contract is up and i can't decide whether to go ahead and buy the phone the i like okay or to wait and seeif anything better is coming out.
i heard something about the lg rumor in testing? but i'm not sure.
thanks for the help!

...or vice versa

just felt like giving a little insight to the differences in compensation and operations for the two carriers.

I wont go into specifics but here are some generalities.

examples based on the following which are very attainable monthly results depending on location and hours worked etc.

35 new lines
35 renewals/upgrades
$1500 in verticals/feature additions
$3000 in accessory sales

aprox earned commision:

ATT $1300
USCC $3000

the hourly pay at ATT is just a bit more and the medical benefits cost far less there, but they don't make up for the glaring difference in commission sales

also my experiences in scheduling:

USCC full timers usually get every other weekend off and still hit those numbers

Will any of the "best" phones be on sale?

I am, everytime i sell one i'm affraid that the customer will be back after the 30 day return policy wanting a different phone, and get mad at me for not exchanging it for them. 🙄

I currently work in the cell phone business and was just wondering how other carriers compensate their employees?...per hour,features,new lines,upgrades..etc. I know it may vary if you are an agent or thru corporate any info would be nice...

I am up for new equipment ( 3 phones) and to my suprise, I can't keep my current plan. The customer service rep was very nice about it,but informed me that the plan I have is old and the new ones make you pay extra for the free incoming calls..... not good.
Is there any way to get my contract renewed with new phones w/o changing plans? Maybe something the customer rep doesn't know about?
Thanks

I do not have a picture messaging plan, in case that matters.

But when my friends send me a picture message I don't actually get the picture. I just get that stupid text message that says "Your friend sent you a picture go to messaing.uscellular.com and enter this code..."
I know the website isn't right, but it's been a while since I've gotten one.
But I really don't like that, I wish I could actually get the pictures on my phone. Why is USCC doing this to us?

Don’t' mind me I'm just another "thinker" or something.
Believe me I am HAPPY with U.S. Cellular.
I have been with 4 wireless companies: Nextel (before they were Sprint/Nextel), GTE Wireless (before they were Verizon), I-Wireless (a division of T-Mobile) and now U.S. Cellular.
In my opinion, USCC has the best coverage I have experienced and the best customer service among the other 3.
Like I said though I was with Nextel and GTE Wireless before they became who they are now. It is highly likely that those other 2 companies changed since the mergers/takeovers but if it is for the better I won't know that. I-Wireless is just plain crap though.
I'm sure a lot of you have NEVER heard of I-Wireless and you might not ever hear of them...

Okay I transferred 3 phone lines about 3 weeks ago. Those phones keep getting text messages and such.
This LAST billing cycle I was stuck with a $3000 bill yes that’s right THREE THOUSAND! I’m not mad at all because they took care of it because it was in their error.
Here is my BEST guess and MAYBE someone can expound/clarify/explain this.
2 Phones were switched from RAZRS to Q’s so we needed the unlimited data package.
If you haven’t guessed yes those EXTRA charges were for easyedge.
Did or are my RAZRS somehow still in the USCC system and if so why the hell are they still listed as active and pulling charges?
I am going to ask USCC but I wanted to see if someone on here has had this problem and new why this ââ‚...
(continues)

is this true i saw the new plan brochures and to my amazement i see that it states that the nights and weekends are at 7pm on all plans 49.99 up including national. Has anyone else seen these new flyers that go out Friday with promo 4. Any comments or confirmations.

I just signed up for the "SimulScribe" service, converts voicemail to text and emails/texts it to you.

In order to use the service I need to set my unavailable forwarding number to a phone number SimulScribe gave me.

I have a US Cellular Blackberry 8703e.

Anyone able to provide some insight?



Thanks,
Will

With AT&T's official mass TDMA shutdown occuring in Feburary, has anyone heard of what are the current plans for USCC's TDMA network? I haven't heard anything on what is its future.

USCC is the second largest TDMA provider in the United States after AT&T. I am pretty sure that with AT&T's acquisition of Dobson, the Dobson TDMA network is also planned to be shut down. SunCom shut down their TDMA network over a year ago, so T-Mobile doesn't have to worry about integrating TDMA users.
