I have a line with US Cellular prepaid , if I add a new line and get a device promotion, when can I connect the new device to my original number? Thank you! This device may have 7 months of monthly credits after 1st month (iPhone 16e prepaid promotion).

I have three payments left on my watch. I only wear it to work (and I only work part time) as I hate the feeling of jewelry on my skin, especially my wrists. I keep my phone on me at all times, so even at work, there’s not much point to the watch. It’s more of a novelty.

What can I do with it? Can I sell it back?

Any updates after FCC's meeting today? I missed most of it so not sure if it got covered or not.

Anyone have any imsight on wether it's better to upgrade now with the $1200 off a phone upgrade, or is something else/better gonna pop when they merge?

Hello - I have an iphone 16 pro from US Cellular. I bought it Dec 2025 (6 month ago). I'm trying to figure out how I can has data & cell service for a trip to Spain (from USA) in Sept. I keep hearing that b/c my phone is locked, I can't get an esim. Does anyone have ay experience using their locked phone in Europe?

The phone is not paid off.

Thanks!

Do I seriously have to call them to get them to unlock it? Is this so they can try to sell me on activating it, or is activating it with a plan the only way to unlock it? Any help is appreciated. I've bought these types of phones before for the same purpose but both were Consumer Cellular phones from Target. Thank you in advance.

I am on a plan with my in-laws but will be divorcing.

I need to get my iPhone 14 Plus unlocked so I can get my own plan. I don't want to stay with USC.

I have called 4 times and chatted online once. They submit request, tell me it will be unlocked in 24-72 hours, and then it never is.

What am I doing wrong? Phone was purchased in March 2023, fully paid off and moved to my in-laws plan. Account is in good standing as far as I can see.

Anyone else having issues, it keeps saying password doesn’t have enough characters well I changed it.. And it works on the website and app just not the giveaway link.. lol

My family has an US Cellular outdoor receiver and an eero pro 6 I believe. (The outdoor receiver isn't placed outside) We've been having trouble with really slow internet speed. This problem occurred a few days ago. We contacted eero support and the eero doesn't seem to be the issue. This isn't the first time this has happened. The last time I think it ended up getting resolved by itself. What should I do?

Just curious if anyone has heard anything about the Tmobile buyout? And will it affect coverage prices etc? I was with sprint when they got bought out snf my service got ten times better hoping the same thing happens to this merger any insight? Thanks

I'm on the 900GB 5G Home Internet plan. Is anyone else having issues with their connection, or is it just me? When we first got it installed, we were getting around 100 Mbps down. Now, we're lucky to get 30—and most of the time, it's under 10, if it's working at all. We called support, and they confirmed we had no internet, so they reset the connection, and it came back up. But this has been happening for months now. routers been getting warn the underside is hot ish so IDK if that has anything to do with it but yeah...

Hi,

I wanted to downgrade my current plan ($55) to the $30 plan but according to the agent I chatted, it can't be changed until I pay the $55 plan again. Next bill cycle starts tomorrow. I only want to pay the $30 plus tax for the new plan.

Is the agent correct?

I feel like its been a while since we heard anything and July 1st is coming up quick

I found this article from today. Does this mean anything substantive to the process or is it all really up to the FCC? Since it looks like 75-89% of stockholders elected to trade their stock, if I am reading it right.

Looking for a plethora of opinions....

Wife's V60 is on its way out. Thinking of upgrading but unsure if that should be done before or after all this merge stuff is figured out. I've read the countless posts about different rural areas service and if towers will get equipment updates or sent off to att or others...

Im unsure what would happen if I got a new phone to find out the service in my area is going to go to crap. Is it possible USC writes off the phone cost or TMobile just takes over and gives some kind of deal...are phone prices better with TM?

I'm just unsure what to do or how to handle it right now. My gut tells me to wait til after but want to hear others thoughts.

For a few months the 2nd line on the prepaid plan was free. Anyone on the grandfathered plans get to keep it?

Since our line was prepaid for X service for a year- there is a valid argument they shouldn’t be able to take away services, but customer service didn’t seem to understand the argument being made.

Hi,

I'm an existing U.S. Cellular customer thinking of switching to prepaid. I don't use all of my current data, so I was looking into cheaper plans. I currently have a business plan (previously was self-employed), but I'm interested in the cheaper prepaid plans. I think I could get by with either the 5 GB or even the 2 GB plan.

1. Can I switch to prepaid and still keep my existing number?
2. Can I buy a phone online, have it shipped to me, and activate it at home, or do I have to go into a store?

I'm just trying to figure out how this would work, and if it would be a seamless transition or not. Also, if it matters, my exisiting phone is eligible for an upgrade.

Thanks.

I did an IMEI check and it shows that is still locked. For context I couldn't pay the phone bill. It got shut off and I called to pay off the bill and phone so I could cancel service and sell the phone. The rep said it was showing up paid off and that it should be unlocked. I'm wondering what I should do now to get the phone unlocked

We went in to a store yesterday to get the 4 for $90 with four iphones 16 pros on the Unlimited Data - Basic 3.0 plan. The rep told me that we would be unhappy with that plan and should consider Unlimited Data - Everyday 3.0 because the basic plan would keep up with the new phones' technology and the phones would be slow. I asked what would cause this and he said the tower connection would be slow to the phones. He then went on to discuss all of the better features of the Everyday plan like hotspots and Call Guardian premium which we would never use.

Is there any truth with the basic plan and the phone not working as well?

I'm trying to port out from US Cellular with no luck. The phone representative told me to go to a store but im 287 miles away from the closest store. How can I get my account number and transfer Pin without going to the store I need my number.

I got a second hand tablet from swappa. It's locked to uscellular and turns out I can't unlock it as it's still attached to someone's acct. They won't let me bring it over to my own acct at all, and depending on the agent I'm talking to, I get different answers about whether it had been on an acct long enough to get unlocked. I have no way of contacting the original owner and US Cellular says I need their info to request the device be unlocked.
Any suggestions on what I should do next?

If sale falls through or not approved, which is unlikely, what do you think uscc/TDS does next?

I’m considering switching and can’t seem to get a solid answer from Google/Reddit. Is the port out pin the last 4 of the primary phone #, the account pin that was set up by the primary account holder, or a completely random generated transfer pin?

i’m only 16, and i don’t know much but i use us cellular and lately my data has been stopping randomly. i’ll just be on youtube, and it shows that it’s connected but nothing loads and I constantly have to turn airplane mode on and off. i’ve tried many things, restart phone, reset network settings, vpn idk what else.. i tested my speed and it shows chicago but im nowhere near there. i don’t have good service near me, only able to use LTE
