Current Customers Also Get A Credit When Adding New Smartphone Lines
Milwaukee – [November 22, 2010] – U.S. Cellular announced its latest in a series of customer-focused offers today that will appeal to potential switchers and delight current customers. The carrier introduced a $150 Smartphone Activation Credit for new and existing customers who add smartphone lines.

The activation credit gives consumers one more reason to take advantage of the Android sale and the benefits of The Belief Project, an array of innovative initiatives like “no contract after the first” with guaranteed upgrades to the newest phones at promotional prices every 18 months or even faster when using Belief Rewards points.
“We want to remove barriers for consumers who’ve heard about everything we have to offer and are ready to experience something better,” said Edward Perez, vice president of marketing and sales operations for U.S. Cellular. “We believe the $150 activation credit combined with the great deals on our Android-powered smartphones and the unmatched benefits of The Belief Project will make it hard to resist giving U.S. Cellular a try.”

The monthly rate plan also comes with free unlimited incoming calls from any phone, nights and weekends and mobile-to-mobile calls. Family plans that appeal to smartphone users include the Essential Plus Family Plan that comes with two lines for $139.99 per month with 1500 shared minutes, unlimited messaging and 5GB of data per line. The Premium Plus Family Plan offers two lines with unlimited minutes and messaging, 5GB of data per line, Phone Replacement and GPS navigation for $179.99 per month.
The Belief Project recognizes customer loyalty with national bundled rate plans that offer customers the freedom to enjoy benefits without signing continuous contracts. Customers get valuable rewards for even faster phone upgrades in as little as 10 months. Rewards can also be used for additional lines, phones, accessories and ringtones. The Belief Project also includes the industry’s only Phone Replacement program that allows customers to bring in their accidentally broken or malfunctioning phone and get a replacement of the same or a similar model. Customers also can save up to 5 percent on their monthly plans for setting up autopay and paperless billing.
“We’re confident that once customers experience all of the unique benefits of being a U.S. Cellular customer, they won’t want to leave,” Perez said.
