I have been a customer of US Cellular, AT&T, and Verizon. I am with US Cellular now, but I really miss the iPhone that I had with AT&T. I was led to believe that US Cellular would be getting the iPhone, so took a chance with that. Now I am stuck with an Android phone that is not as intuitive or easy to use as the iPhone, and an android tablet that has some quirky problems. I want my iPhone, and I want US Cellular as my provider. Grrrrr!

Had a Palm Pre and then a Blackberry Curve in 2010. Both phones dropped 80% of the calls in my home and had a delay to switch towers when I went to my office. I was FIRED as a customer by Sprint under my unlimited plan because the fine print of the agreement says that you cannot exceed 800 minutes of roaming in a month. I receive a lot of phone calls in real estate. I was in roaming mode from my office. Sprint said their coverage map said my office should get great service without roaming. I asked them which carrier was picking up my roaming signal when they wanted to fire me. It was US Cellular. Sprint agreed to give me a 2 month credit to leave the company but I was stuck with my expensive phone. Their math in calculating a 2 month credit is way different from the arithmetic I learned in grade school. I have US Cellular again. In the past 25 years I have had the other major carriers too. BTW, US Cellular does not even drop calls in the basement of my home and I get 5 bars signal strength in my office.

iPhone is not really an innovation BUT JUST A HYPED GADGET BY IMORON AND ISTUPID…

They’re in the same race as most trying to roll out LTE. They’re not a scrub like Metro PC or Boost Mobile/Virgin Mobile.

One is plenty. Competition is a hindrance to consumers and profitability.

Why?
