To kick-start the back-to-school season, U.S. Cellular is
offering half off smartphones on new activations with Shared
Connect plans. Customers who port their number, purchase Device
Protection + and trade in their device – even one with a cracked
screen – will receive a promotional card equaling 50 percent of the
value or $336, whichever is less, of their chosen device. Current
customers will also receive 24 GB of bonus data when adding an
additional smartphone line to their account. U.S. Cellular is also
continuing to offer an unlimited buy-out of customers’ current
contracts after they submit their final bill from their
carrier.
“We keep hearing about buy one, get one offers, but we wanted to
remove the obstacle of needing to buy multiple devices to get a
great deal,” said Joe Settimi, vice president of marketing for U.S.
Cellular. “We want our customers to have the best smartphone to
meet their needs, enough data to use that device to the fullest,
and a high-quality network to use their data whether they are in a
large or small city or rural community. When you combine all of
that, our customers have a great wireless experience at a better
value than Verizon or AT&T.”
U.S. Cellular is also offering the LG G Pad F 8.0 for a penny,
and for a limited time, any customer who refers a friend to U.S.
Cellular will receive an extra 1 GB of bonus data every month for
12 months. This supplements the company’s ongoing referral program
which rewards both the current customer and the referred friend
with $50 if the friend chooses to activate a smartphone on a Shared
Connect plan.
50 Percent Offer requires Retail Installment Contract,
Shared Connect Plan, $25 Act. Fee, Device Protection+ and
Smartphone trade-in. Promo Card (max of $336) will be issued via
mail within 6–8 weeks. U.S. Cellular® Promo Cards issued by

balance reflected on the final bill. Reimbursement in the form of a
