US Cellular Informative - US Cellular=Rip Off - Cell Phone Service
Cell Phone Service
BURLINGTON, IOWA -- I have lived in Iowa and been a US Cellular customer for many years. When we decided to move to Colorado I called US Cellular and asked about getting a Colorado number. I was informed that they don't have service in Colorado and because we are still under contract if we cancel our service we will have to pay an early termination fee of $150 per phone. I told them I'll just take my phone and use it out there with the no roaming plan and they said that if I don't use at least 50% of my minutes in my local calling area that they will cancel my service and I'll still have to pay the early termination fees. So, I'm ripped off and never going back to US Cellular, even if they do someday offer service in Colorado!

We got a phone years ago with Cellular One, and at first they sqaid we could not get it because of our credit. We got my wife's mom to co-sign for us to get the phone, figuring this would be the avenue to restoring our credit. It didn't take us very long to figure that instead of showing my MIL as co-signer, they put the account in her name. I went into their office and pleaded our case, and got told that was the way it was, TS. We completed the contract, then I went in again, placed the cell phone on the counter and smashed it with my shoe. I let them know in no uncertain terms was I pleased, and that they needed far more than I could do. It wasn't very long before they had a new name on the building, and have changed hands a couple times since. I have been with Tracfone since Cellular One screwed us over.
