US Cellular will beat your bill from Verizon or AT&T, or you get a $50 gift card

U.S. CELLULAR GUARANTEES TO BEAT VERIZON AND AT&T PLANS

CHICAGO (July 16, 2015) – U.S. Cellular (NYSE: USM) is so confident that it provides the best value in wireless that beginning today, the company is offering a guarantee that it can offer a better plan than Verizon and AT&T or it will give people $50. Consumers and businesses can bring their current Verizon or AT&T bill to any U.S. Cellular retail store, and if their current plan can't be outdone, they will receive a $50 promotional card.

"At U.S. Cellular, we're confident that we offer the best shared data plans available for a wide variety of customer needs, so we wanted to go a step farther and guarantee it," said Joe Settimi, vice president of marketing for U.S. Cellular. "When you combine these unbeatable plans with our high-quality network that offers national coverage along with the finest devices available, the customer experience we provide is second to none."

To qualify for the guarantee, customers must port their number from Verizon or AT&T and choose one of U.S. Cellular's Shared Connect plans with installment pricing. The guarantee applies to the monthly recurring price plan only. With U.S. Cellular's $0 down, 0% APR installment pricing, qualified customers pay tax on a new device at the point of sale, and then make 20 monthly payments that are conveniently added to their wireless bill. Customers can upgrade this device in as little as 12 months if they trade it in for the latest model. They can also choose to pay off the full balance of their device anytime they want.

In addition to the plan guarantee, U.S. Cellular is also offering an unlimited contract payoff, which covers customers' early termination fee or remaining device balance with their current carrier, no matter the cost. Anyone who ports their number from another carrier, chooses a Shared Connect plan with installment pricing and Device Protection+, turns in their current working device, and sends in their final bill with the early termination fee or remaining device balance on it will receive a prepaid debit card for that amount.
