U.S. Cellular is adding more plans and more high-speed data to its highly competitive prepaid offerings. Its popular $45 Simple Connect Prepaid plan now comes with 3GB of high-speed data, the $60 plan now comes with 6GB of high-speed data, and there is a new 12GB high-speed data plan for $75.

For a limited time, U.S. Cellular’s Ready Connect Prepaid offering, available in stores such as Walmart and Dollar General, has added value with high-speed data on the $45 (4GB), $55 (8GB) and $75 (12GB) plans. In addition, Ready Connect customers can receive $10 off of the $75 plan and $5 off the $45 and $55 plans when signing up for autopay. All plans $35 and above on Simple Connect and Ready Connect continue to come with unlimited talk and text.

“February and March are popular months for prepaid wireless purchases, so our updated plans provide an even better experience to our current customers as well as any consumers looking for a better prepaid deal,” said Grant Leech, vice president of brand management for U.S. Cellular. “With these value-packed plans and access to an award-winning high-speed 4G LTE data network, our customers have the freedom to use their phones as they choose and not worry about going over their plans.”

With U.S. Cellular’s prepaid plans, customers never run out of data with unlimited 1X data while on the carrier’s network, and there are no contracts, credit checks, overage charges or activation fees. Prepaid customers can also add unlimited talk and text to Mexico and Canada for $10 per month. To learn more about U.S. Cellular’s prepaid plans, visit www.uscellular.com/prepaid.
