| U.S. CELLULAR LAUNCHES POSTPAID PLANS AND DEVICES IN MORE THAN 460 WAL-MART STORES | | |
FARMVILLE, Va. (October 30, 2012) - U.S. Cellular (NYSE: USM) is now offering its postpaid service in more than 460 Wal-Mart stores across the country, including the store located at 1800 Peery Drive in Farmville. Customers can select from U.S. Cellular's value-packed plans and enjoy all of the carrier's unique benefits, such as the only points-based rewards program in wireless, no new contract after the first one ends and free incoming calls, texts and picture messages.
"Bringing our postpaid service to Walmart provides consumers with another option when they're shopping for wireless," said Dana Dorcas, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in the Mid-Atlantic. "We look forward to showing Walmart customers that a better relationship with their wireless carrier is possible by providing the best customer experience and treating our customers like neighbors, not numbers."
U.S. Cellular offers a variety of plans that make it easy to select the right amount of voice minutes, text messages and data, including single line and family plans with unlimited voice and texts. Customers who want to add data to their plan have five options to choose from starting at $10.00 per line for 100 MB.
Customers can pair their U.S. Cellular plan with the device that best meets their needs. Check your local Walmart for the complete list of U.S. Cellular devices that are available. All of U.S. Cellular's phones are backed by its high-speed nationwide network, which has the highest call quality and network satisfaction of any national carrier.
Customers who purchase U.S. Cellular postpaid service in Walmart can start earning rewards points immediately for things like faster phone upgrades and free phones and ringtones. They can also register on My Account at uscellular.com for autopay and paperless billing to save up to 5 percent on their monthly bills.

Friday, November 2nd - The Obama Higher Ed Agenda
Gigi Griffin, Organizing for America
"Earning a post-secondary degree is no longer just a pathway to opportunity for a talented few...higher education is now the clearest pathway into the middle class." - President Barack Obama
Even though many jobs now require a post-secondary education, for many, attaining that education is not as easy as applying. Affordability, among other aspects, plays a major role in whether a person decides to enroll in college. Join GiGi Griffin as she discusses President Obama's current education platform and its effect on low-income and minority communities.
