14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone carrier US Cellular has just announced plans to start offering 4G LTE services to its customers before the end of the ongoing year.
The company is partnering with King Street Wireless for the delivery of high-speed 4G LTE services and 4G-enabled devices to over 25 percent of its customers base in time for the holiday season 2011.
The wireless services provider also announced that its customers would be able to enjoy significantly faster data speeds as soon as they would start using the 4G LTE devices and service.
Thus, browsing the web or accessing e-mail while on the go, the same as playing games and viewing and streaming videos can prove to be much more entertaining than before.
4G LTE services for U.S. Cellular should start rolling-out in selected cities in Iowa, Wisconsin, Maine, North Carolina, Texas and Oklahoma.
U.S. Cellular’s leading markets like Milwaukee, Madison and Racine, Wis.; Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Davenport, Iowa; Portland and Bangor, Maine; and Greenville, N.C. would be included on the list, the carrier announced.
“With 4G LTE, our customers will have faster connections to the people, information and entertainment that enhance their lives and help them stay organized,” said Mary N. Dillon, president and CEO of U.S. Cellular.
“In addition to our line-up of cutting-edge devices, customers who switch to U.S. Cellular get unique benefits like faster phone upgrades without continuously signing contracts, and join the happiest customers in wireless.”
In addition to offering the new, faster services, the company also announced plans to bring to the market a portfolio of 4G-enabled devices during the initial roll-out of 4G LTE. Moreover, the carrier plans on adding more such devices to its offering in 2012.
“The roll-out builds on the 3G data services that U.S. Cellular customers already enjoy on the carrier’s high-quality nationwide network. More details on the next phases of the company’s 4G LTE deployment will be announced at a later date,” the company concluded.
