U.S. Cellular |
0.07 sec. |
Acquisitions and growthAs of October 2005, U.S. Cellular was the sixth-largest mobile phone company in the United States. Despite this position, the company is in fact a relatively mid-sized provider, offering regional coverage in the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, and parts of the East and New England. Although headquartered in Chicago, U.S. Cellular did not offer service in Chicagoland until it acquired territories from PrimeCo Communications between 2002 and 2003, after the formation of Verizon Wireless.Originally, U.S. Cellular used TDMA cell phones in most markets, but the company has completed shifting over to 1xRTT CDMA technology. There are some analog/TDMA cell sites still operating in many areas, for legacy customers as well as roaming purposes. However, U.S. Cellular no longer activates TDMA or Analog handsets. U.S. Cellular's Unlimited Call-Me feature allows users to receive calls without charge while in their local calling areas including customers of their prepaid service. Customers with a current National plan can also receive incoming calls free nationwide. The company's phones also offer picture messaging and "easyedge" data services. The company touts its service as having one of the highest customer retention rates among its competitors, as reported by some market research firms. It is currently expanding to more major markets: recently, St. Louis was added to its coverage area, and a massive marketing blitz (featuring company spokesperson Joan Cusack) covered buses, TV ad breaks, and billboards. Corporate sponsorshipU.S. Cellular owns the naming rights to U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox; U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington, Illinois, home of the Bloomington Extreme indoor football team; U.S. Cellular Arena in Milwaukee, former home of the Milwaukee Bucks and current home of the Milwaukee Wave; and the U.S. Cellular Center, an arena in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It has also opened the U.S. Cellular pavilion in Hadlock Field, home of the Portland Seadogs in Portland, Maine. U.S. Cellular is also the Official Wireless Sponsor for the St. Louis Cardinals.External links
